For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.

How Should We Perceive Immigration?
Introduction In the 21st century, the scale of interaction between different countries and cultures has increased to an unprecedented extent. These interactions take on various forms—financial investments, trade, and, most crucially, the movement of people. However, while financial capital flows freely across borders, human mobility remains highly restricted. Some individuals enjoy almost unrestricted travel opportunities, while others are confined by borders and visa restrictions, limiting their chances of seeking a better future.

The Fight With In
She bares her teeth because how can you expect less from a female who has had to make hell home while fighting so damn hard for heaven because deep down, she knows that she carries an angel's heart.

Just Some Thoughts
I spent the week ruminating on dehumanizing nature of capitalism. Determining a persons deserving-ness of food, shelter, healthcare, leisure, based on arbitrary valuation of labor, requires that we dont see the inherent values in human beings. The discourse surrounding Fifty Cent, Kanye West, Anna Delvey, TikTok creators, my personal life, pulls back the curtain to the lines drawn around what is human and what is a catalyst for gaining or losing capital. We live in a world of passive consumption, the basic mechanisms of our systems are coveted as complex high thinking college degrees, leaving the general public at the mercy of marketing. This leaves the door open to see a human person as a product and not a human piece of the puzzle. There is a difference between I am exchanging money to get an egg, pr my money gives me dominion over you. All of these things have been explicitly constructed into our capitalist system, and if we dont look at them and admit they are there. We will never be rid of them.

Moral of the Story - What goes around comes around!
It was an interesting job. I did not really need it...someone told me "women don't do that" and it sparked me into action.

O Canada
It is true when one says. communication is key where ever you go, wherever you be. Especially in our Country. After several days and watching programs on television to social media ,it has come to my mind that what we lack most, is the ability to communicate.

Labels, Why You Should Hate Them
Labels, we call them. All of us need to be defined it seems. Health labels, social labels, school labels. We are taught at a very young age that words define us. We are supposed to think that it's okay if people see you a certain way. That it should be acceptable.

aliens and the big words
I’m 5 and she is 13. We swing on the swings in our backyard, eyeing the sliding glass door, knowing bad things are happening inside the house. We can’t stop them, so we swing instead. It's a Sunday and Sundays are always bad.

‘View From My Window’ Founder Barbara Duriau
The first time I heard about View From My Window was from a recommendation from a close friend. Before that, I had never heard of the group page.

Tiny Teddy Bears
With a bright smile situated in between two round cheeks, a button nose the size of an almond, and big round eyes full of innocence. Chubby fingers that squish and stretch while squeezing mine. A silver bell of a giggle rang cheerily through my head, the kind of sound that could only put a smile on someone’s face. What a beautiful soul, so sweet and so innocent. A smile that could win any bad-tempered person calm. Hair so soft, and eyes so kind, the tiniest glance could steal any self-proclaimed ice-cold heart.

Following My Own Rainbow: 10 Years Later
February 20, 2012: the scariest, yet joyful moment in my life. It's hard to believe that 10 years has gone by since coming out as a gay man. While many people were excited that I had the courage to do it, others condemned me for "living in sin." I've dealt with homophobic comments since then and still face the same problem today, mainly on TikTok. I used to attend church services on Sundays with my parents as a kid, but I stopped going to church almost eight years ago. The reasons are because most Christians are hypocritical and don't practice what they preach. Also, they spread their hatred towards LGBTQ+ people: people who they personally don't know anything about, by spewing Bible verses and urging them to "turn to God." You can't claim to be a Man/Woman of God and have a pure dislike of a specific group of people who aren't bothering you or have never done anything to you. All they want is to be treated equally with dignity and respect, not as second class citizens. Why are they so invested in our lives and how does the way we live affect their marriages? Those are the two questions I would ask them. However, there are other Christians who openly support people like me. I love being who I am and will never apologize for it.

Is it love?
Love is a powerful emotion it can be sweet, gentle, kind, and a force to move mountains. It can be destructive, cruel, hateful, or a reason to lie down and die. An emotion that can do so much can freeze a nation in terror, explode a population, or cause a grown man to fall to tears.

Zoolander
Zoolander- When things aren't always going the way it should the way you deal with it is what makes it a better experience, during life there is always obstacles that try and stop you from being and living a positive life, life is always full of challenges. Usually these challenges try and stop you from being capable and being the person that you desire to be but when you surround yourself with positivity it usually works out better, you will feel like a light feather inside for awhile but you begin to hear your own voice which fills you up with comfort even during the boring moments of your every day to day life. People will lie, steal , control and stop you from living the dream that you desire and living the life that you deserve to stop you from being better than their own lives. You would be surprised at what people will do to ruin someone else's journey of greatness but when you put your own belief in yourself first your journey becomes successful and then satisfying to the way that you desire it to be. Dedicating your time to the things you love fills your time up with positivity and great things to fill your time and surrounding yourself with positive things and positive people is what helps makes life more rewarding and interesting. During the courses of adult life it isn't always easy to get started and sadly enough you isn't always going to have people who believe in you the way that you believe in yourself. Its hard to live a life that's satisfying when you want to be around the people you thought you once loved trusting the new direction and new journey isn't always easy but when you get the feel of it and practise it after awhile it becomes so natural you wouldn't have it any other way. We can not let people live our own journeys for us we live it for ourselves and once we stop being reliant on them you become reliant you don't rely on anyone else anymore.
