A Love Story
A Love Story In the quiet town of Willowbrook, where cobblestone streets meandered through rows of ivy-clad houses and ancient oak trees stood as silent sentinels, a love story as timeless as the town itself unfolded. This is the tale of Elara and Tristan, two souls whose paths converged in a symphony of serendipity and fate.

Renaissance, From the Latin Nasci, Meaning to Be Born.
I must admit, I’m not a loyal or well-versed attender to Beyonce’s music. I don't know every song; I don't even know every album. However, as a public and frequent listener to her songs that I like, I have been allowed to speak on her as if I were an expert. I was recently asked which of her albums is worth listening to in its entirety. Of course, I qualified my opinion by explaining my lack of knowledge and general distaste for idolatry and icons, my disdain at her billionaire status, and how my relationship with her music is “tenuous, at best.” Ultimately, I had an answer and offered that Renaissance is that album. That, due to its very nature, it must be.

The Eclipse
The Eclipse Didn’t they just broadcasting it on the radio? I heard every word, clear and loud, but can it truly be? Isn’t it supposed to happen tomorrow? Tomorrow, as the midday bell rings? Am I right? Again, I know nothing. Yasin’s right, I am a failure, an useless idiot. No better than Wulff. Indeed, he was the right president. No one has ever represented the Germans better. Oh dear, what am I thinking? No one has ever represented us more fittingly.

Walking Through The Rain
I don't have anywhere to go in particular. I am walking, letting my feet take me where they want to go. This morning, the rain started as a gentle shower and grey clouds covered the sky.

Trans People Are In Danger
In 2023, 600 anti-LGBTQ bills were introduced in America, and eighty six were passed, greatly endangering the lives of transgender and queer people all over the country. This is more than double the amount of legislation introduced in 2021 and 2022 combined. Most of these bills targeted healthcare, education, athletics, identity, and gender-affirming care. Healthcare bans towards transgender Americans increased more than five times. As of January 2024, 227 bills have been carried over from the previous year, and are still under consideration. There are currently forty three anti-trans bills under consideration from 2024. Of the eighty six anti-trans bills passed in 2023, twenty four involved healthcare, and twelve involved education.
