The letters LGBTQ are just another way of saying that Love is Love.
Do You Find It Hard To Say ‘I’m Sorry’?
The chief reason people find it so agonisingly difficult to simply say "I'm sorry" comes down to a deeply ingrained kind of defence mechanism: we unconsciously treat an apology as an admission of moral failure, rather than an acknowledgment of a behavioural impact.

To the Queer Person on the Bundang Line
The weather in Korea turned dry and suffocating. The bitter cold bit my skin until the heaters of the subway station kicked on. I tore off my scarf, mimicking the other passengers struggling to find relief while we waited for the next subway car.

Birthday #39 Is Almost Here
Sean Covey once said, "It's all about how you feel, not how you look." This has always been my attitude when it comes to seeing another year. Yours truly will be celebrating a birthday in exactly a month, as I'm writing this story on October 13. As you can see by the title of this story, I'll be turning 39. If you've seen any pictures of me on Vocal, most of you would say that I don't look my age and you're right. I hilariously get mistaken by some people for a high school or college student, due to my youthful appearance. Don't get me wrong. Looking young isn't a bad trait to have, but it's not like I have this extravagant secret of how I was able to maintain my appearance. So, what's on the agenda this time around? Since it'll be the final year in my 30s, I'll treat myself to preparing two of the many favorite foods I enjoy the most. Last year on my birthday, I bought myself a nice frozen dinner, a set of slices of cheesecake, and something to drink. We all know that eating out has become even more expensive that it's basically a luxury. The last time I ate out alone for my birthday was back in 2015 when I went to Red Lobster. The last place that someone took me out on my birthday was back in 2019. My friend at the time took me out to Applebee's, had a nice meal, and the staff presented me with a birthday cake. I had a wonderful time at both places, but going out to a restaurant, whether it's fast food or casual, is extremely rare.

Children, Identity, and the Adults Who Fail Them
Children, Identity, And The Adults Who Fail Them Children have always questioned who they are. Anyone who remembers being twelve or thirteen knows how confusing that age can be, not because of sexual feelings, but because of the sudden awareness that people come in many varieties and identities. When I was thirteen, I had gay cousins whom I loved and admired. I didn’t have romantic or sexual feelings toward anyone at that age, but I remember wondering, very simply, whether I might be gay too. It wasn’t a crisis. It wasn’t a rebellion. It wasn’t even emotional. It was just normal curiosity — the kind any child has when they see people around them living differently and wonder where they fit.

What Causes a Man’s Midlife Crisis?
There’s a popular image of a man going through a midlife crisis: he suddenly buys a sports car, changes his wardrobe, starts going out more, or decides he needs a dramatic new career. While these stereotypes can be amusing, a midlife crisis is often about something much deeper. For many men, it can be a period of questioning their identity, relationships, achievements, and the direction their life is taking.

The Soul Beyond Gender
I know this piece may raise a few eyebrows, and I fully expect that some people will disagree with me. That’s okay. I’m not pitching this as a scientific fact or claiming I’ve cracked a code that people have debated for ages. I’m simply sharing a theory. One that grew out of my own observations and spiritual beliefs.

Heteroflexible and Bisexual
Is there a difference between someone who is bisexual and someone who is heteroflexible? Short answer, yes, there is a difference. It is easy to get the two confused, and honestly, easy to understand why they are easily seen as the same thing by many people.

The True Cost of Waiting for an Unsure Partner
When someone we care for hesitates to fully commit, it is easy to view waiting as being patient with them, or a sign of true love. We tell ourselves that if we just give it a little more time, understanding, or space, their hesitation will eventually resolve into certainty - and in our favour. But there is always a high price to pay for putting your life on hold, and being in emotional limbo, while you wait hopefully for someone to make up their mind whether they really want you in their life, or not.
