Walking on the beach I stumble
The tide rushes in to cushion my fall
I open my arms to its embrace
Cut with the shell I have shed
For a world that no longer wants me
I wait for the tide to take me home

postponed happiness
We speak of the future. Quite a lot, actually. He dreams up its walls and stairs and chambers that would hold our joy and give space to our imagination. I, in turn, paint and furnish them in soft hues of love and peace and contentment to show that we have arrived. And then we wait for it to materialize, bottling up all our happiness for when we can finally set it free. There. Then.

The Evolution of LGBT Portrayal in TV and Film
Happy Pride Month, all! I love Pride Month and everything that comes with it; the celebration, the festivities, the prestige. Pride Month is the ultimate beacon of positivity. Now sadly, there are a bunch of people in society who aren't really crazy about Pride Month and have their things to say against it. To those people, I'll only say this. There's a special place reserved for people who are against Pride Month. I'm too much of a gentleman to say it here, but I'll give a few hints: it rhymes with "bell," and I'm not talking about the city in Michigan.
