A love that couldn't be.

I don't usually watch BL dramas and movies, because I feel like they don't represent the real difficulties that gay people face.

But this movie made me cry, I don't want to say much about my private life but there is a person very close and dear to me, who suffered the same thing for being homosexual. So I could feel the pain firsthand, the pain of both characters.

The two loved each other, but due to homophobia, the thought that they were sick, the beatings, neither wanted to admit what they felt freely about the other and they had to pretend before society to be accepted.

Time and circumstances separated them and although they loved each other, everything remained memories. But when you truly love, that person's name remains engraved in your heart.

The ending is sad but realistic. Many years had passed, each one made their own life and it was not realistic that they could be together, this time freely.

There is a phrase that will remain engraved in my heart and it is when he talks to his teacher: "help me go to hell, I prefer to be there now. Isn't that a place that homosexuals should be in? Maybe more people will understand me in hell."

Maybe God gave us that rule. If this type of love exists, it is because God wanted it that way. We were only human beings who set that rule to limit others from loving people of our own sex.

Love is love, no matter your sex. To say we have really advanced as a society to accept homosexual people. Even in my country where same-sex marriage is allowed, I have never seen two men holding hands. And if they do, there is the typical comment calling them "faggots."

There are many people who do not accept that their children are homosexual so they throw them out.

Sometimes I really wondered if we have moved forward or are we still the same as always, disguised as an inclusion, which clearly does not exist.

I hope there comes a day where people can love whoever they want, that they don't hide from society and people see them as ordinary people. Because in the end, no matter our sexual orientation, we are still common people but with different tastes and no one should judge another for loving another person of the same sex.
