Easter is a Family Affair
At the time of publishing, Easter is just over two weeks away (the approval process for Vocal can take longer than expected).

And the Oscar for Jealous Husband Goes to Will Smith
Reality is always messy, ripe with conflict, unsettled resentment, and bittersweet redemption. Ironically, the compelling filmmaking ingredients necessary to make it to the Oscars were the ones Smith²-Rock delivered during the 94th Academy Awards. Watching the incident was like seeing all of what the world has known as jovial and light-hearted entering reality’s no man’s land. Not sure if we should be thanking the Academy for this one.
The Jealous GirlfriendPublished 2 months ago in HumansDear future lover, please love me like...
Dear future lover, please love me like my sister and I love one another. Love me like my sister loves me when she asks me to let her know when I arrive somewhere safely. With a thoughtfulness that reminds you of me when you see my favorite character on a t-shirt. Love me with an understanding to know when I am ready to talk, and when to leave me be until I can piece together my words. Love me with a sense of admiration that’s not afraid to tell me when I’m wrong. Love me like my sister who runs to me to tell me about her good days, but also entrusts me as the only person to show the darkest parts to. I desire a love that knows the way I think and process, but more importantly respects it.

Every time I think of trying to describe the sensation of relationship jealousy, my mind automatically goes to the scene from Twilight when Edward is trying to explain how Bella’s smell shoots a sharp pain in his throat akin to a branding iron. I’d say that jealousy is a similar feeling, only it’s located in the chest. It comes on quickly and makes you feel it all over your chest, and especially close to your heart. It’s frequently matched by an equally painful throat closure and the feeling that your stomach is dropping, like you’re on a massive rollercoaster. In other words, it’s a mixture of anger and fear.

Choosing Divorce Meant Finally Choosing Me
Three years ago, I made the bravest, and at the time, one of the saddest decisions in my life when I finally said, “Enough!” and ended my 30-year marriage 15 years after I knew it was already over. Never one to be a quitter, I continued to try to make the best of a horrible situation until my soul finally convinced me to choose life.
