Bearded (Demi) Lady
If you try to picture someone who has a beard, would you automatically imagine a man? It wouldn’t be surprising or even wrong if you did. Facial hair, however, is just one of the numerous things that are unnecessarily gendered and labeled as something that is masculine and can only be masculine. By society’s standards, a beard is something that is exclusively for men while biological women do not have hair on their face or chest.

The Silent Voice
I do not consider myself to be the best writer in the world. On the contrary, there are times I even think myself to be the worst, though I know that not to be true either. Though good or bad, I know that writing is part of who I am. I often feel it is more a part of me than just speaking. The written word is perhaps the only language I have found which allows me to say all that I feel I need to. What I speak is simply English, but what I write is so much more.

The Glass Clock
There is an old man who lies in his bed. Withered and frail with age, he waits patiently for the reaper to take him. He knows he might be waiting for a very long while. He used to be upset that he must wait so long, that he must do nothing but lie sick and helpless in his bed, watching the youth run past his window as though they were mocking him. After a while, however, he’d made his peace with it, just as he’d made his peace with death in the first place.
