Coming Out

Struggling with his identity, Matthew 'Mattie' Alexander leads a life filled with deception, pretending to be someone he's not to avoid the harsh realities of a world that can be unaccepting. His façade includes feigning interest in women and embracing his role in the university's football team, actions that provide a false sense of safety but leave him emotionally drained. The story explores themes of courage, self-acceptance, and the toll of living a lie in a society that often rejects authenticity.
