Embracing The Good Life
We often hear that success is measured in wealth, fame, or professional achievement. We see images of people building empires, achieving greatness, and climbing the social ladder. These stories dominate the media, creating an illusion of what it means to live a fulfilling life. But what if the true key to happiness and health has been hiding in plain sight all along?

If
Introduction This is just a piece on how we still make assumptions about people and their pronouns. I am CIS/Straight whatever you want to call me, but one of the problems is that He/She/Mr/Mrs/Miss immediately box people for the convenience of society and that is not something I like or agree with.

The Fall of Arin
Arin was a man of great talents, respected by his peers and feared by his rivals. In the grand city of Valedor, he had earned a reputation as one of the most brilliant architects. His buildings were not just structures; they were works of art, marvels that inspired awe. Arin's name became synonymous with genius, and he basked in the glory that came with it.But as his fame grew, so did his pride. No longer did he listen to advice or critique.

Represented. Content Warning.
In recent years, the visibility of LGBTQ+ individuals and their stories in mainstream media has grown exponentially. This shift has fostered greater understanding and empathy across diverse audiences. One particular moment that profoundly deepened my appreciation for the LGBTQ+ experience occurred when I watched the film Moonlight, directed by Barry Jenkins. This powerful coming-of-age story, centered on the life of a young Black man grappling with his identity and sexuality, became a catalyst for my understanding of the complexities and nuances of queer experiences, particularly those that intersect with race and class.

Extending a Hand not Hatred
I need to take a break from the net, social media can be so tiresome and the amount of ignorance that comes across the screen is absolutely insufferable at times. I found myself quarrelling online, with the obtuse, after watching the documentary, "Will and Harper" a few days ago. It was such a moving display of human vulnerability and compassion, demonstrating how we should positively accept and understand our fellow LGBTQ+ human beings, who may be dealing with a tremendous amount of fear and anxiety because of the differences in their psychological and physiological makeup. The emotions this movie raised within me, no doubt fueled the exasperation I felt with those vilifying and condemning Will for his understanding and Harper for her existence.

HIV And AIDS
The first time I heard of AIDS, I thought they were talking about the carmel like diet supplements my mother used when I was a kid. Not the same thing and it didn't take long to figure that out. I knew a young man that had contracted HIV sometime after college. I knew he was gay.

Growing up in a small town, I often felt like an outsider. My heritage was a tapestry of cultures, woven together by stories from my grandparents. However, the media I consumed rarely reflected my identity. I craved connection, but I mostly saw characters and narratives that didn’t resonate with my experience.
