Humanity
A Caged Bird. Top Story - March 2024.
Even on my best days, when I try to write, my brain speaks to me in a lexicon I fail to understand. The words of a story remain trapped, and I cannot direct them to the blank white page before me as I sit in this park. I watch a mother hug her little girl. Her arms wrapped around her like wings of protection, soft and warm like feathers. Her daughter's tiny face pressed against her heart. Then I remember you, sad, lonely, hurt, misunderstood. I knew you wanted to, one day, stretch your wings wide beneath the sun's warmth; you yearned to take flight. There were no limits. You would reach for the sky, breaking through the walls of that suffocating cage.

Misconstrued Identity
One thing which surprised me was realizing how the same person or entity could be perceived so differently. On one end a person could be considered a hero and looked upon as being a very kindred spirit full of love and empathy, while on the other end they may be considered the vilest human being, wicked and full of hatred.

A Reflection
Introduction These are just some thoughts on things. I am working and looking out the window and the birds flying and dodging through the grey skies like the ideas in my head, waiting to be woven into some tale or pattern to flow from my fingers.

Love: From the Perspective of the Unromantic. Top Story - March 2024.
When reduced down to stereotypes, I've noticed that there is a harsh gender line regarding experiences of love and romance. Women are expected to have a stronger connection to and capacity for love. Love seems to play a more central role in a woman's expected life's narrative (i.e., fall in love, get married, have children). For men, love seems more often regarded as a secondary aspect to the narrative (i.e., achieve an aspiration, secure a wife along the way). I think this is part of the reason why girlhood gets lumped with romanticism in a way that boyhood never seems to be.

3 Reasons Why I Hate the Word "Vibes". Content Warning.
1. It makes me think of a disease, like a gross one. I just think of the bubonic plague, leprosy, or some kind of disgusting skin rash when I say the word "vibes" aloud. Ask me why? I'm not sure exactly. I cannot fully articulate why, but it makes me think of some sickness that just won't go away. Ironically, the word "vibes" just won't go away! It just keeps popping up in many people's vocabulary in this day and age. I can just picture or hear people saying in a British accent, "Watch out! He's got a bad case of the vibes!" My skin starts to crawl when I think of this. If I'm honest, every time someone says the word "vibes," my skin just crawls in general. There are few words that cause me to react in this way. Many people seem to have a distaste for the word "moist," but that one doesn't bother me at all. I could eat moist pound cake all day and be perfectly happy! As long as no uses the word vibes while I'm eating my moist pound cake, then I'm content and my skin will not be crawling.
