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. During the course of our conversation, Gerry brought back memories and remembrances of the good old days back when we were students at Marshall University. It’s sad to think of how I let the good times pass me by without any…

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…

Only The Moon Understands The Beauty Of Love, Part 2
I was reflecting on my work, Only The Moon Understands The Beauty Of Love, earlier this morning. As the moon’s silvery beams dance upon the surface of a placid lake, I realize that the reflection of my authentic self shimmers in the depths of my soul. Just as the moon’s reflection creates a mesmerizing scene on the calm lake, my true nature can be seen shimmering within the depths of my soul. I have always been different, and like the reflection of the moon, my true self is not always easily perceived, and it may take a still and quiet environment to unveil it. In life, I often find myself…

Ordinary World
As I sat down to write this blog post, the opening notes of “Ordinary World” by Duran Duran were playing in my head. This song has always spoken to me on a deeply personal level, and I often feel as though the lyrics are a reflection of my own life. Like the song’s protagonist, I too have experienced loss and upheaval in my life. There have been times when I felt as though I was adrift in an ordinary world that had lost all meaning and purpose. The feeling of uncertainty and disorientation was overwhelming at times, and I often found myself struggling to make sense of my experiences. Yet,…

I Am An Oxford Comma Enthusiast
As an Oxford comma enthusiast, I am always surprised by how controversial the use of this tiny punctuation mark can be. While some may view it as unnecessary, I believe that it is an essential tool for conveying meaning and ensuring clarity in writing. As a voracious reader and a skilled writer, I can confidently say that the Oxford comma is a critical component of effective communication. The Oxford comma, also known as the serial comma, is a comma placed after the penultimate item in a list of three or more items. For example, consider the following sentence: “I need to buy bread, milk, and eggs.” The Oxford comma appears…

The Cult Of Social Media
I used to spend hours scrolling through my social media feed, which gave me a sense of excitement and belonging in ways I never had before. Being a part of various online communities was like finding a home away from home, a place where I could connect with people from all over the world and share my thoughts and experiences. At first, it was innocent enough. I joined social media to keep in touch with friends and family, to share pictures of my life, and to stay up-to-date on the latest news and trends. But as time went on, I found myself becoming more and more engrossed in this world.…

A Sense Of Introspection And Reflection
As I sit down to write about my life, I am filled with a sense of introspection and reflection. It is a task that requires not only a steady hand but also a sharp mind and a fluent pen. I am drawn to the idea of exploring my past, of understanding how I have arrived at this moment in time. My mind wanders back to the early days of my childhood, to memories of playing in the park and chasing after butterflies. These innocent moments were the seeds from which my curiosity and creativity grew. As I grew older, I found myself drawn to books, to the stories and ideas…

Nostalgia And The Loss Of Childhood Memories
Today, I am engulfed in a maelstrom of complex emotions as I reflect upon the evanescence of my childhood memories, seeking to navigate the ebb and flow of sentiments that crash upon the shore of my consciousness, like waves upon the shore of an ever-changing sea. In this moment of contemplation, I find myself consumed by a bittersweet feeling, born of the realization that my childhood memories are slipping through my grasp like grains of sand in an hourglass. The pangs of loss that assail me are keen and poignant, as I attempt to cling to the vestiges of my past, even as they elude me. As I sit and…
