I AM SENSITIVE

I am sensitive to the word masculinity, because when I look into the mirror I don’t fit into the definition created by society. Yet I have to compete for the girls and the things I want with those that fit into the definition of masculinity. Even if they do not get them those rare times, […]

Effort Over Duration

I use to believe that doing something for a long time meant you doing it successfully or you are going to be successful with it. But as my naive ass kept growing I realize you don’t have to stay or do something for a long time to be successful, but rather effort determine your success. […]

WHAT DID YOUR LAST STRUGGLE TEACH YOU?

In life, we always face a lot of pain and struggles. As human beings, we quickly give into the pain or we quickly forget when we overcome our pains and struggles.

As a person who feel marginalized, I believe these two groups experience depression in unique way that is hardly talk about in our environment. […]

Do Your Dirty Laundry.

I have heard this phrase “Don’t do your dirty laundry in public” over and over again and I feel it’s problematic. Why should we tell people where they should or shouldn’t do their laundry? Because some people may need help to their dirty laundry or there is no space or place in their house to […]

PARTNERS IN GRIND

At this stage in my life, I don’t need a partner in crime but rather a partner in grind. I need partners who will help me start business idea I have had for years, partners who will criticize my writing skills so I can write better scripts and essays. Partners that will push me to […]

Black ( LGBTQ+, Women) Lives Matter
