Sweet Little Lies
Being popular and well respected in a small town meant always being on your game and never slipping up. So, when the hottest party of the year arrived on the first day of winter break, I knew couldn't skip it, no matter how much I wanted to.

The Heart-Shaped Goddess
My eyes are full of dust as I wake up in No Mans Land on an old, threadbare blanket with Brick by my side. Brick, my best friend, my confidant, was exiled from our tribe five years ago for using tribe electricity to power a black box he discovered on a trip to the tech dumps. This was a forbidden action, but the sentencing was a stretch if you ask me. Then again, that’s why I’m here on a dusty bed of sand with beetles in my hair instead of waking to the rising sun in my cosy hammock in the searchers quarters, inside the earthly gates.

Free and Wild
Being at one with nature can feel like winning a prize. I've been drawn to water and those calming, moody, blue landscapes for as long as I can remember. When I was little, I would always draw the bluest oceans and the darkest skies, as I grew older I would wander the seaside cliffs looking for the best spot to sit and look over the water, to daydream.

Not All Disabilities Are Visible
More and more of late I have seen post upon post and complaint upon complaint about disabled people being ridiculed, shouted at, and abused in some way or another for utilising disabled facilities and parking spaces when they are not visibly disabled.

Why Fan Culture Is a Lie...
Fan culture, in its simplest form, is the circulation of creative material by the people who consume it. Even in its simplest form the lie begins, because in order for fan culture to exist, the hype has to be built by the creators and distributors of the aforementioned creative material in the first place. This means that before we even truly begin anything, creators are already grafting and vying for the attention of some members of the general public.

Why Are Some Men so Afraid of Sex on Periods?
We live in a time where women are particularly open about their periods, either through an abject desire to make the world listen, or just because they’re so used to them that it doesn’t cross their minds to be discreet. So, why, if this is the case, are so many men so afraid of one of the most natural occurrences when it comes to the female body?

Since the dawn of time, the human species and animals alike have engaged in sexual activity. Not only for the purposes of survival and evolution, but also for pleasure.

The Latest TSwizzle Controversy, Fan Power, Unsigned Musicians
Whether you like the woman or not, Taylor Swift has certainly sparked some controversy in her time as a seemingly evolving and rebirthing musician. She seems to have taken several leaves out of the books of women like Madonna and my personal messiah Cher in that reinvention seems to be her favourite pastime. Is this all down to 360 pressure or is Taylor really the kind of woman who wants to inspire people to change themselves whenever the rest of the world gets bored? Who knows, this article isn't about her personal choices anyway.
