Unlocking Your Best Self
Personality is more than just the way we talk or the clothes we wear. It’s a complex combination of our thoughts, behavior, emotional responses, and social attitudes that uniquely define who we are. While some aspects of personality are shaped by genetics and early life experiences, many traits can be consciously developed and refined over time. Improving your personality isn’t about pretending to be someone else—it’s about becoming the best version of yourself.

I Feel That Way Too Podcast Debuts
Several excellent podcasts explore the existential aspects of life. Who am I? What makes me unique? What is my place in the world? What am I supposed to be doing with my life? How can I make a positive contribution to the world? Are we truly free to make choices, or are we predetermined?

Monogamy in THIS Economy? Why More People Are Choosing Polyamory
Let’s be real: dating is hard enough when the cost of living is skyrocketing, housing is a nightmare, and emotional bandwidth is at an all-time low. So what if one partner just isn’t cutting it? What if we stopped expecting them to do it all?

Lesbian Lightworker
'Standing on the beach of shifting sands, I ask why my world is so torn.' Torn between love and hate, fear and bravery, and confusion and clarity. The splintering of ways to live a life is a paradox of dwelling on Planet Earth, for I am but one human caught in the crossfire of differing beliefs and ideals that conquer the peace that many of us wish to attain. Instead, we argue about the weather or who is dating a friend or colleague. while feeling there is more to the heartbeat of each of us surviving a homeland of war, prejudice, and discontent. Our world keeps turning, but in strange and precarious ways. Shots fired at dawn warn of the coming of unusual times, as peace seems a luxury in the wake of leaders setting off the alarm. We watch the clash between dark and light and the brewing chaos in between. Where is the love we so eloquently feel when those in power call to arms their positioning on either side? This is no ordinary fight, but the war of who rules Planet Earth. It's an age-old conflict, but one that keeps coming around again. What is the answer to this ancient quarrel between conquering men? Surely, we have learned from history that war brings suffering and pain. I see the signs online and battleships parked close to my island home. The signs are like billboards dishonoring the peace our ancestors died for so that generations could be free. Is this a repeated pattern humanity cannot seem to release? The psychology of mankind is a problem waiting to be solved, as the programs we inherit keep us dancing to a negative and unhealthy tune. Why does it have to be this way? Are the cries of human anguish when leaders post the potential of another world war?

Xtra Xtra. Top Story - June 2025.
There is something that needs to be said during pride month. At least something that I need to remind myself. That I don’t need to be out to everyone during that month. And that I don’t need to be a model trans man. Nor do I need to be the perfect model of gay either. As I am asexual and aromantic. What I also don’t need to do is get into a relationship anytime soon either.
