What IS Love in 2022?
“Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. I use the word "love" here not merely in the personal sense but as a state of being, or a state of grace - not in the infantile American sense of being made happy but in the tough and universal sense of quest and daring and growth.”

Why Brittney Griner Matters
Brittney Griner has played basketball in Russia for the last 7 years. She was recently arrested for having cannabis in her possession. Brittney carries a letter from her doctor who prescribed cannabis for pain. Possession of cannabis is a criminal offense in Russia. I find it interesting this is the first time Brittney was stopped and arrested for cannabis when entering the country. Since before the 2016 presidential election, the Russians have been waging a war in America. The Russians have and continue to successfully use social media to divide this county. Americans haven't been this divided since the Civil War. Yet, we keep falling victim to Russian's new and successful war against the U. S.

Pride. Runner-Up in After the Parade Challenge.
The first time I saw her, I was seven. Baby blue plastic counter. waxy cream floor. The wood-colored handle of the fridge at my spine.

Raging Homosexual
I just broke the metal gate. Before that, I finished masturbating just for a release of energy. Usually I think of nothing when I masturbate,

My unique life experience
The meaning of hard work is to see a bigger world, to have the opportunity to choose life freely, to not bow to the people I hate or not to become the same as the people I hate; Never buy a useless thing at a bargain price; Do not love the people, again lonely also do not rely on. We used to think that persistence makes us strong, but when we grow up, we find that letting go makes us strong. Better hide your faults than show your cowardice. The more you talk, the shallower you appear; The coolest appearance of a woman should be that she is charming, kissing different lips, liking different people but not loving anyone. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, love is like this, you won't mature without losing, life is like this, you won't grow up without some danger. What you want, god will not necessarily give you, you have to strive for, don't live up to the people who love you, don't live up to yourself; I believe that one day, I will become a better myself, will become parents to rely on, become a reliable friend, become worthy of love, I have been working hard. Later, I gradually learn to accept rather than pay, even if I met the heart of the people also shook his head and said forget it. Disappointed enough to let go, do not disturb is my last gentle; People, to a certain age, are with some worry, with some unspeakable pain, every day happily to live. In this world, a lot of people smile to you, but really inclusive of you too little. I finally went through that period of time to see everyone like you, do everything can think of you, listen to the songs are about you, very lucky, I can finally ask the return date, do not have to contact; Time is not a thief, stole how much precious, in return, but they can not see the regret. Distance probably means: you know I didn't sleep, I also know you didn't sleep, looking at each other's updated dynamic, but can't say a word; The most sad is met, got, lost in a hurry, and then left a scar in the bottom of my heart, it makes you when the pain, when the pain. Individuals can experience particularly difficult periods, long or short, that leave you feeling hopeless and unable to see the light. However, indulging in complaints, distress is useless, sad pain is more useless, rather than pick up the mood, shake in fine spirits, head out to face, perhaps everything will be better; If you're busy, it's more likely than not that you're really important: you're weak, you have nothing better to do, your life sucks and you have to make up for it, or you act busy and make yourself seem important. When your efforts are not worthy of your ambition, don't feel unworthy. Give it your all, even if it doesn't work out.Learn to find happiness, make happiness. All you want in this life is joy. No matter what, no matter who. Everything I do, I just want to have fun. Life, most of the desire for power and wealth, other such as fame, retreat and so on, although a few, but also exist. And all I do is to make myself happy. Now the pressure is generally large, because what you seek for can not be found, so can not be happy, so to find happiness, make happiness. For example, a morning greeting with a neighbor, a smile from a stranger, etc., can make people happy. If you can't find it, make it yourself, work out, read a novel, even smoke a cigarette, whatever makes you happy. Never mind that smoking hurts the body. In my opinion, it is better to be happy for forty years than to be miserable for seventy. Of course, the above remarks, one's words, follow the language, not enough to think, I and casually said, you and with the eye to see, if help, extremely happy. Please forgive me if I talk too much

Hang onto your pride.
As I arise contemplating the parade that passed before my eyes, I pause to ponder, among the wonder, what Pride means to me.

A Formal Introduction
The Good Ol’ Days For most of my childhood, I suffered from uncontrollable anxiety, feelings of guilt and shame, self-loathing, fear, and a cemented thought that I was a bad child and a failure at best – not to mention I believed that I was damned to hell. At the time, if you had asked, I couldn’t tell you exactly why I felt all those feelings. Truth be told, I don’t think I had half of the vocabulary, I do now, to even describe the sensations I felt. It did not take long for the self and family neglect of my internal and unspoken needs to mount and fester into disease.

Logos are not enough
Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s great that many companies have felt compelled to acknowledge that the LGBTQIA+ community exists at all. It is encouraging that it even happens. In fact, that was where I started in my own thinking about acknowledging pride month. Let’s make a logo and be visibly supportive of our fellow humans, but the more we discussed it, the more I realized it wasn’t really the kind of contribution that I wanted to make. It’s too easy. It’s too little. It’s not about colorful logos gracing email signatures for one month out of the year. This is more important. It’s about fostering a culture that acknowledges that our differences are our strengths, our similarities are catalysts, and keeping our focus on what matters for the task at hand.

Is a Genderless World Possible?
Gender is a hotly debated topic that is difficult to breach without someone getting upset. The current precedent is that self-identifying as a particular gender is absolute, and we should accept the individual’s claim without question. In this article, I would like to question not the validity of one’s feelings, but what it actually means to identify as a specific gender.

Illuminated Shadows Ch.2
Chapter Two I could not open my eyes, but I felt every muscle in my body scream out in pain as if I had been tossed off a cliff and left for dead. I tried once more to open my eyes, and then I finally opened one eyelid, then the other followed. My vision blurred, and I did not recognize my surroundings. I put my head back down on the pillow as I felt the bile rise in my throat from my spinning vision. My hand went to my head, and it felt hot and wet. I knew I had a fever, but I could not bring my voice to make a sound.
