Life
Nightmare at Home:
It is a Thursday night, and once again, my father is working late, not expected back until the following day. Sleep elude me despite my attempts, as I anticipate her inevitable visit. She always came at night. I waited patiently, the sound of rain cascading heavily on the roof of our mansion, a grand inheritance from my grandparents, claimed only after my grandmother's passing two years ago.

Mastering the Craft: How to Edit and Revise Your Creative Writing. Content Warning.
Creativity speaks a thousand words that no grandiose gesture ever can express. We often define creativity as the art of expressing one’s opinions through different creative outlets. Creativity is the essence of every decision we take; it is the catalyst that equips us to think over the conventional bounds of a perceived notion. The flow of performing various tasks coherently with a spark of unconventional ideas marks the essence of creativity. Whether it be media houses, the publishing industry, business magnates or authors, creativity pioneers the process of brainstorming and building brands that leave an impact on the lives of consumers.

To the ones January has not been kind to
To the ones January has not been kind to Hey there stranger, I hope you realize how amazing you are and how beautiful the world is because of you in it. This one is for you if January has not been kind to you. I know right now all you feel is how the darkness that surrounds knows no end, and the light that you are so desperately and intently searching for seems to lose its way in the dreariness of despair. I know all you long right now is a moment of peace and this month has constantly put you on the edge of your sanity. January has not been your month, all it has done is test your strength and remind you that you need to keep it all together. Life in its entirety has plonked you into the land of uncertainty, and all you yearn for is to be lost in a land where you cannot be found, only to be rescued with the warmth of love and a warm cup of coffee.

Well, well. Content Warning.
I keep searching for the house. Your eyes eventually get used to the light bouncing up off the white everywhere-- or so they tell me. My lungs sting with the dry frozen air as another blast of wind carries the powdery snow up at my face.

They Promised Sunshine. Content Warning.
They promised sunshine today, but all I see is grey skies. It's not like the sky is partly sunny and mostly cloudy, okay? It's all grey. Freaking forecasters f*cked it up. The only sunshine happened in sunrise. Ever since then, their promise of SUNNY ALL AFTERNOON has been a crock of shite.

A Writer's January. Top Story - January 2024.
A Note on Resolutions vs. Intentions Perhaps not many people have experienced this, but as a spiritual person, interested in awareness and personal development, in the past year I've seen a rise of the word "intention" over "resolution".

A Long Battle with Instant Gratification
Over the years, I've made myself available to random people who have questions about my transition. Sometimes, people contact me about surgeries, becoming a parent, or dealing with family, and those who don't accept them. When I talk to people who identify as trans about transitioning, I always place importance on thinking about the longer-term YOU. I made a lot of poor decisions initially. I can't say with certainty the decisions I've made and have internal conflicts with until this point in my transition will be another person's internal challenges.

Goals Achieved and Dreams Yet To Come
I'm not making any specific resolutions this year, for Vocal, or for anything else. As most people who set New Years Resolutions can tell you; that rarely ends in anything but disappointment, guilt, a lingering sense of shame and failure, and a general feeling of futility.
