The Garden After the War
Across the ages, we’ve played out this wound—the fall from Eden, the wars of gods and lovers, the burning of witches, the crucifixion of truth. But the myths are shifting now. The garden is not lost; it waits within us. Every healed heart is a seed, every honest union a bloom. We are rewriting the story of creation—not from power over, but power with. This is the new genesis.

FALLS & FOOLS
Somewhere around the time of discovering this platform called Vocal, I dove deep into my collection of journals and texts to dig up anything with enough value to be showcased. Amongst these precious files, a number of them were no-brainers to adapt for publishing, but the same couldn't be said for them all. A handful of the written works were plentiful in significance, yet puny in word count—too puny to stand alone on this website.

No Category for Women?
I have been sharing my articles on Vocal for several months now—pieces about the divine feminine, feminine rage, women’s health, cycles, and all the messy, miraculous, chaotic, powerful aspects of womanhood. I expected to select a category and keep writing. I didn’t expect to hit a wall: there is no category for women.

Silent Scream
A mask I wear that no one can remove it hides a side of me that makes even the gods fear and tremble, a mind that God and the devil created together. These gifts I have called curses; but in reality they are a Blessing and all I have to do is use them and not care about the outcome Because God has prepared the way for my gifts and in doing so made it in his light and grace so it is true. If man tries to sway me away from the tasks at hand I am to turn the other cheek and walk away and continue my journey for Gods plan is Light an Truth to disobey it is to commit SIN an that is not allowed for his children. Follow his will at all costs.

How to Get Your Wife to Want More Sex
Introduction: Why Your Wife Might Not Be in the Mood One of the most common frustrations men share is wondering why their wife doesn’t want sex as often as they do. It’s easy to assume it’s about attraction, age, or hormones, but often the root issue is much more practical: exhaustion, stress, and feeling unsupported.

The Forgotten Elixir in My Father's Cabinet
My father has always been my hero. He’s a man carved from resilience, with hands that have built, fixed, and comforted more things than I can count. But lately, I’d noticed a change. The spark in his eyes seemed dimmer, his shoulders carried a new weight, and the vibrant energy that once filled every room he entered had softened to a quiet hum. The pressures of a long life, of running a business, of simply being, were beginning to show.

Why is There a Trend of Boys Wearing Nose Piercings?
Fashion has no boundaries, and one of the biggest style shifts in recent years is the rise of boys wearing nose piercings. Once seen as a female-only accessory, the nose ring or stud has become a bold unisex fashion statement embraced by celebrities, influencers, and young men worldwide.

Being a Man in 2025
This is a topic that surely will get someone canceled if not handled correctly. I’m not one for catering to everyone but also am a chronic people pleaser so really try my best to not make people hate me. Sometimes speaking my mind can get me in trouble but the kind of trouble may or may not be a bad thing. We all have our thoughts and opinions and sometimes it really doesn’t matter what other people are thinking we have to stick to our beliefs.

We Can Make Something New
8/27/25 Studio 7 - First Hill, Seattle Hello Again, My twin sister visited last week but instead of making a plan we allowed her single day in Seattle to unfurl naturally ahead of us -- my dog and I met her at the airport light rail station before we meandered whichever way we wanted. It reminded me of what you said last summer, maybe when you were cleaning the apartment before your little brother was supposed to come up from LA: "I am free. When I want to go outside, I go outside. I don't need to be anywhere."

18 Year Old Me Would Be Proud
Honestly, this is not what I would have expected to write for my 500th article. It’s not a bad thing to write for my 500th article, especially considering that this milestone used to seem so far away. I actually had the original idea for this article two weeks ago, but I haven’t had the time to write it yet. I’ve held off publishing a few other things to save the spot for this to be my 500th, because for me, this is one of the most important articles I’ve written.
