You May or May Not Get What You Assumed
Sadly, we live in a world today where our first assumption about people is that they are trying to
screw us over. I am not sure if it has to do with Mercury being in retrograde (I’m still unsure what that actually means) or if it’s just been a week of trying to put myself out there and getting more negative reactions than anything else.

I Danced Like Everyone Was Watching
There I was, just like that, I was finally the cool kid in the crowd. At least this is how it felt to me and isn’t that was really matters? Let me bring you back a few days before this experience. On Christmas, I had received a message that I could get a free ticket...

If you are weird, embrace it!
All my life I have been called shy. It’s a fair assessment. My shyness as a kid was so strong that when teachers complimented me at parent-teacher conferences, I would just cry. I’m not sure why. Maybe it was because I would try so hard at everything I did but I felt...
Arriving Queer to a Class Reunion
