Deny: A Dream Come True
Deny was a boy who never felt loved by his parents. His father was an alcoholic who often drank and gambled away their money. His mother was a depressed woman who often blamed and abused him for their misery. They never cared for him, nurtured him, or protected him. They never showed him any affection, attention, or appreciation. They never encouraged him, supported him, or praised him. They only criticized him, insulted him, or beat him.

I am no different to them. Top Story - March 2024.
With the brutal and violent deaths of two 16-year-old's Nex Benedict (they/them) and Brianna Ghey (she/her), one year apart, and nothing but an ocean dividing them. Nex Benedict was attacked in a bathroom of their school, they weren't attacked because of an argument they were attacked and sustained injuries that killed them over their choice to be themselves. Brianna Ghey, another 16 year old, was stabbed over 20 times to death, again, not because of an argument, not over gang affiliations or anything like that, she was killed over her decision to be who she was.

What's Inside
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.

A Cake Too Beautiful
Have you ever seen a cake so immaculately decorated, you didn’t want to cut into it? Sometimes that’s how I feel about love. The idea of it can be too beautiful to actually dive in. I think that’s especially true of dating apps. Sometimes I like just knowing I COULD match, or simply knowing someone else wants to match with me. It’s the idea of being wanted. But that’s not love, because love requires that initial step of bravery, the ability to trust another person with my vulnerability. But first and more importantly, it’s about loving myself. Because if I don’t love myself, I can’t fully and truly love someone else. And that desire to be wanted would only be a reflection of my own insecurity and fear that I’m not worth loving. So it then becomes easier to say no than to say goodbye.

A Deadly Sin called Pride
Even though I am not a Christian, I had to learn about the `Seven Deadly Sins´ during my childhood. And Pride is one of them. During the last years, I had many conversations about those deadly sins and their importance for our lives. Although I am nowhere close to agree to the bible and what religion does to humankind, we should avoid committing those deadly sins. Our lives would be more healthy in all directions.

Given the current noise around Trans people Existing In Public, and legislation being tabled against it, I thought it was time for some pushback.
