I sit in this space trying to figure out how i ended up in such an awkward place? This discomfort i feel i hope doesn't show in my actions or the expression on my face. I don't want you to see me or whats really going on so i smile quickly and move it right along. Because if i'm still for any amount of time you might see straight through to whats really on my mind. So i put on that grin because to explain all of my thoughts....Jesus where would i even begin? And lets be honest you don't really want to know anyway so we smile politely and say have a nice day!!!

The Day I Stopped Romanticizing My Pain
For a long time, I believed my pain made me interesting. It gave my stories weight, my voice depth, my silence meaning. I wore it quietly, like a badge only other wounded people could recognize. When something hurt, I didn’t run from it—I wrote about it. I turned it into metaphors. I dressed it in beautiful words so it would look intentional instead of unbearable.

Writing About Writing: The Rainbow Trap
The good thing about living in modern times is that LGBTQ representation in media is increasing. Not just in niche and Independant media, either, but also in mainstream media. Books, movies, TV shows, comics... they're finally catching on that LGBTQ+ people form a significant part of their audience, and deserve to see themselves on screen and in fiction, not just as victims in documentaries and true crime shows.
