World War ll: The broken pride of Japanese soldiers
Amidst the dense jungles of the Philippines, where the vibrant greenery hid the scars of war, a small group of Japanese soldiers clung to survival, remnants of a bygone era. The year was 1947, two years after World War II had officially ended. Yet, for these soldiers, the war persisted, trapped in a time capsule of their own making.

There are many kinds of power, used and unused, acknowledged or otherwise. The erotic is a resource within each of us that lies in a deeply female and spiritual plane, firmly rooted in the power of our unexpressed or unrecognized feeling.
'Coming Out'Hell
It all started with dreams. For years, I could never work out why I was seducing women in my sleep. Did my subconscious self think I was male? Is it normal for other women to dream of being a man?

A Turning Point with a view
The bustling port of Hamburg hummed with the rhythm of life where ships of all sizes navigated through the waterways. A scent of salt and diesel filled the air, creating a symphony of maritime existence.

It is safe to say that one of the biggest remarks I get when people realize I am a WLW(or women loving women for the straights), is "Omg two periods, that must be crazy!". And they are right, syncing up with your partner and riding the menstrual train of being overly emotional, irritable, crampy and sometimes even irrational is just part of what comes with the WLW territory. But from experience, sometimes it can be really nice having someone to cuddle on the couch with, eating all your favorite snacks, crying at movies that aren't meant to be cried through, and massaging each others cramps while simultaneously cursing mother nature. For a week every month this is the routine, maybe you two will argue, but pretty quickly one or both of you will realize "Wow, I'm really pmsing!" and it will be laughed off. But, what if that realization never comes from your partner? What if instead of a week of being slightly emotional, every month their cycle completely takes over their mind and body for weeks at a time?

John POV “Hi grandma!” I called into my phone. “Oh John, sweetie how are you doing?” “I’m fine Grandma, well not really,” I chuckled, “I’m just wondering if I can have you’re raspberry cookie recipe, I know you don’t normally tell people but it’s for love, I think Raphael is mad at me and he loves them. I want to surprise him with them. I don’t know what I’d do if he broke up with me.”
Navigating Double Standards in Relationships
In the complicated world of romantic relationships, we often stress the significance of equality, respect, and comprehension. Nevertheless, as we navigate the complexities of modern love, it is essential to acknowledge and confront the existence of double standards that can silently affect the dynamics between partners.

I came out of the womb in a birthing squat. My pen is the fruit of my life’s labor — the written story. To blow the lid off my own life and expose it, whether through fiction, poetry, or essay, is the only way I know how not to feel alone when the going gets bad.
