Finding Myself in the Story: How Moonlight Shaped My Journey to Belonging. AI-Generated.
Growing up, I never quite saw myself in the media around me. It was like being in a crowded room but feeling completely invisible. As a queer person, representation was scarce, and when it did exist, it often fell into stereotypes that felt far removed from my lived experience. That all changed one evening when I watched a film that would become a turning point in my journey toward understanding and accepting my identity: Moonlight.

The Lady Has a Past
Amanda Quick has written a contemporary romance murder mystery. To me it is more romance with detective ramifications that the characters of Lyra, Charles Adlington, Simon, and Madame Cuppy and a host of others will discover a murder at the spa of Madame Cuppy. This is also a story that will keep the reader reading for it is a fast-paced read that includes the paranormal like ESP when they think someone is a fraud somehow. Amanda's novel has short chapters and easy to read type. Amanda Quick will have you thinking who done it, and it is a surprise.

Snow 4
He helped me for I did need help finding the road again because of all the snow. I wonder what his prize was going to be. It was snowing so hard now, and I looked down and the only footprints were mine. The snow couldn't have covered up his so fast and not mind not even with the wind blowing. All of a sudden when I was just about to enter my yard I heard a slight ringing, and I thought when an angel gets his wings a bell starts to ring. Maybe there was something to that movie, right.

Snow
On a cold, windy and snowy morning when I was out walking in the woods I came across a set of tracks. I wasn't sure what kind they were, but I followed them anyhow. These tracks keep going in circles and for some reason I thought I was in Winnie the Pooh story and the Heffalump. I stopped looked around didn't see any more tracks to follow, so I decided to check out an old, deserted house for it started to get windy and I wanted to get out of it for a while. Snow and windy does not mix.

Snow, too.
I entered the old house just to get out of the wind for a little while. As I walked around shaking off the snow that was on me, I noticed that there were other footprints in here. I wondered and then I thought it was probably just some other kids being curious, then I heard it, a whisper. It was soft and it said, "Is it really cold out." I did answer, "Yes, who are you?"

This is going to hurt, okay?
Childhood. A soft caress of your warm blanket, a sweet touch of innonence and clean hands. She was a pretty girl skipping in her backyard while the smell of homemade cake wafted by the opened kitchen doors. The vanilla and chocolate scent swung in the air like someone created magical waves using a magical wand. Same like in the girl's favorite disney movies. "Get in here sweety, it's windy out there" The girl stopped skipping and answered back to her mother, "In a minute mom! I think its finally gonna rain!" She looked at the sky shielding her eyes from the wind just as a rain drop landed on her nose. She smiled and sat down in the grass, placing her skipping rope beside her.
