In the gardens of life, “almost” grows like a vine, winding its way through the tangled branches of our aspirations, seeking out the light of what could be, while casting shadows upon the blossoms of our achievements. It is the quiet rustle of…

No Time And No Words Did I Waste
My dear friend of 10+ years talked to me on Skype for an hour and 45 minutes. Gerry ███████████ an openly gay and borderline effeminate college best friend of mine who despite his busy schedule, always finds time to keep in touch. Not only has he enjoyed huge success in recent years, but he finally met the man of his dreams (███) whom he lives with in ███████████, Ohio.

The Misfit’s Triumph
I have experienced life as both a misfit and someone who has received praise, traversing paths which at first seem to be at odds. In those moments when fortune’s favor shone upon me, and praise was bestowed, I savored the elixir of achievement and the comforting embrace of validation. Meanwhile, as a pariah, I discovered the fortitude to stand firm in my convictions, an unyielding adaptability, and the courage to remain steadfastly true to my inner essence. These seemingly discordant episodes have, like the harmonious interplay of light and shadow, refined my ability to empathize with souls navigating the labyrinth of varied circumstances. They have illuminated the path toward personal…

Sticker Wall
When I was a little girl, I told my mom that one day, I would have a wall of stickers in my house. She would often reply to such statements by saying, “when you have your own house, you can do whatever you want.” Well, today is the day. Amelia and I are starting our own sticker wall in the hallway that leads to the basement of our house.

The Enduring Power Of Love
The sky was a canvas of pastel hues, as the sun descended in a final blaze of glory. The moon, a luminescent orb, rose slowly into the night, casting a mystical glow upon the earth. As the stars twinkled in the inky blackness, the moon and the sun shared a timeless embrace, a dance of light and shadow, of warmth and coolness, of life and death. For though the sun’s fiery passion was spent, its legacy burned on in the soft radiance of the moon, a testament to the enduring power of love.
