humanity
For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
What Humans Should Know
Wouldn’t it be great if we could all enter the world with a manual of “how to” instructions? Perhaps it could be called “101 Ways to Navigate the Highways and Byways of Life Without Becoming Road Kill.” The human baby could start reading the tutorial in the womb and then hit the ground running — so to speak.

How Being Non-Binary Almost Lost Me My Job
I've worked in hospitality for over a year now. I always found it to be one of the most diverse and open-minded work communities. I thought that I would be accepted into it without question or judgement. For the most part, I was right.

5 Ways Active Duty Will Change Your Spouse
If your spouse has just returned from active duty, do not be surprised to see signs of change. Regardless of rank, or job, or the degree to which they experienced front-line combat, the military has a transformative effect on officers and recruits. Indeed, this is by design. The fraternity, the shared sense of purpose, and a wealth of proprietary experience not shared with the general public combine to bring out certain traits in active duty troops.

How Good Are You At Seeing Through People?
The more that I ponder this sort of question, the more I wonder how I know who to trust and who not to trust, then I realised it's the vibes that people give off at the time that I'm talking to them or the presence they give off that make them not worth trusting.

What Has Made You Angry Recently?
What has made me angry recently are rules and laws that Caspian has to obey. No matter how much we try to raise money or do things, we always seem to get blocked at every turn, even if we have had a lot of help to begin with. It just seems to be never ending; yet no matter how much we argue or share our frustrations, we still love each other and always find a way. Even when I have a lot of health wise kicking in, I know he can't be there to help, that he is frustrated with his job and family rules and the law that they follow. Not having any money to do anything doesn't help the situation either. That makes me angrier, as I'm working so hard but I'm just not getting anywhere, even though I'm trying my best to do everything that I can.

Being Gay is Exhausting
Being gay truly is exhausting. Being any kind of LGBTQ+ member can feel, at times, tiring and frustrating. Now before I go any further, I already know some (not all, but if the shoe fits...) straight people will sneer at these words and ask; "Why? Is it hard being slutty? Is it tiring for tranny men that pretend to be women, and vice versa? Is it taxing denying yourself the pleasure of being with the opposite sex?"

The Here
Limited. We are limited. Space (in a non-scientific, infinite galaxy type way) is limited. If we are fortunate, we each have our own little boxes that we take up each night, walls that we store items collected/given over the years, rooms that we decorate in such a way as to show to whoever graces our doorstep who we want ourselves to be. Space, in this way, is moldable. It bends to our wishes and desires. It offers us a place in which we can more actively and more comfortably experiment with becoming the people that we would most like to be.

A Minority's Memoirs
My friend and I developed a close relationship from kindergarten until we graduated high school. We pretty much stuck together through thick and thin. However, we did not necessarily have the greatest start. In fact, we were enemies before we were friends. Since we were never able to reach a point where we could talk about this issue, it later created a disconnect for us, and left me with unanswered questions even now at age 23.

My Experience with CPR
I can’t recall the exact time a call for help rang into my room but early Friday morning, I heard the panic filled scream of a family friend, Amanda, followed by the chaos of finding my grandfather unresponsive. I sat up in my room. I can’t recall if I had been sleeping or not at the time. Regardless, the sound caused by my father screaming made me realize that something was wrong.
