Calm Dot on the Horizon. Content Warning.
The sea lapped gently over the soft white sands, a deep red sun beginning its slow descent behind the horizon. Soft orange and red light reflecting in the still waters below and sky above. Looking out from the beach one would think all's right with the world at this moment. All that could be heard was soft waves over sand and gulls nearby. The landscape views one of serene beauty … the line of the horizon broken only by a small dot. From this distance the great cruise ship seemed not to even move, just a calm dot of black against the blood orange sky. Little would any onlooker ashore suspect the calamity soon to befall on board that vessel …

Aromantic Terminology and Me. Top Story - July 2024.
All the terminologies with being a part of the asexual community. QPR, squish, and zucchini. Each of them are things that I have my own thoughts on. All of which I’ll be rambling here in the most coherent way that I can. I do hope that this makes sense for you all.

Yearnings of a Hidden Daughter. Top Story - July 2024.
Growing up I never felt scared when I was with my dad. I’m still a little bit afraid of the dark now, definitely afraid of heights, and don’t do crowded spaces well. But as a little kid, when dad held my hand or stood by me, no matter how high up we were, or how dark a place was ... I knew I was safe. I don’t know how to explain it, it was a certainty … if my dad was with me, I was protected and I knew this.

Letters to Queer Youth Challenge Winners
When I was growing up, I knew that I was different from those around me. I was a “tomboy” who secretly thought I looked so pretty in dresses. I never understood how girls around found guys hot, yet I wanted to be one. Sometimes I’d wear my dad’s button-down shirts, or pack. And sometimes I loved getting my hair done. I strived to find where I fit into, and yet my existence was always fluid. If only I knew that was okay, normal, valid.

Three Straight Friends Asked Why I Took So Long to Come Out of the Closet
Three sets of straight-guy eyes turn, boring into me, genuinely intrigued. Dudes were perplexed. Wait, what had I said to make them so focused and interested? It was like the classic record-scratch moment, as if the music and conversation in the lively bar went silent and the entire room had turned its attention to me.

The Law of Attraction. You have probably heard so much about this already. Maybe you have watched The Secret (Dare to Dream)? Maybe you’ve heard every celebrity and successful person you know of talking about the very same formula. (If not - start with Jim Carey and the story about him asking for a hike as a kid. Then look up Helen Hadsell. Then perhaps J-Lo, Oprah Winfrey, Jennifer Anniston… they all openly discuss this. Athletes, Olympic medalists and their trainers… the list is endless.

For true change to occur, it is said that we must either go very far down a path of intense suffering (to find life’s truths waiting at the end of that arduous journey - when you will be in such a state of exhaustion and depletion that you have no choice but to change) or you must hear them from someone who you truly trust and who inspires you to change.
