2024 and Bisexual?
Sometimes in life, things happen that you can't go back from and these incidents change you. They form and shape you into a different person with different thoughts and different beliefs even. I'm a very open minded person and because of this I'm constantly growing and learning and changing. This year has been a weird one for me. My spirituality is changing and morphing. My belief system going from something strict and concrete to something more fluid and open to different concepts from around the world. I know after waking up to these beliefs that I won't go back. That things can only go forward from here. I also know that some people and some of my family won't like these revelations of mine. I know that I'm going to have to come to terms with this and be who I am regardless. I'm getting in touch with my inner light and learning that we all have Source inside us. The amount of things we are all capable of is astounding. You just have to open your mind to the fact that what you believe and what you put into the universe will be. If you believe you will be broke and miserable the rest of your life you will be. However, if you believe you are abundant and radiate abundance you will do just that. Expel the negativity and drama from your life and you will find life and the universe greeting you with love and kindness. I have also discovered this year that I am okay alone. I've embraced who I am in all aspects and even if I don't feel comfortable sharing that with everyone in my life just yet I'm ok with it. For instance a big revolution that I've just come to the conclusion of is I'm bisexual. Thinking back on it I always have been but I've suppressed these feelings because they were wrong, dirty and sinful according to the way I was raised. I remember though that ever since middle school I've had what I now realize were girl crushes and I would look at a girl and think she's hot. I thought boys were hot too but I do recall thinking about girls in a romantic way as well. So, now, here we are at almost forty years of age trying to learn how to admit this to not only myself but everyone else in my life. I've honestly had my feel of relationships with men. I've been through two failed marriages. My first husband was my highschool sweetheart and he never supported me financially or emotionally. My second husband ended in a toxic, abusive way with emotional, mental and verbal abuse on a daily basis. I've tried to date since then with men but I no longer feel that connection. All I see now is red flags and how deeply engrained with patriarchy they all are and it pisses me off. I've really come into my feminine side these past few months and it has empowered me to be more of a girl's girl then I already was. We are women, hear us roar. We will not back down, we will support each other and love each other because loving each other is often times better than loving a man who thinks he owns the world. The sad part is behind every good man is a woman who keeps him standing so I ask you who needs who?

Representation feeds imagination
São Paulo-Brasil, 1998. I was ten years old. Fourth grade. Every school day, my girlfriends and I would get together between classes to talk. I remember this day so clearly. It was an extra important day: Chiquititas, the most popular teen girls tv series at that time, had announced an open casting call for its second season, and they were looking for girls, like us. They were all excited and making plans for how they would submit their applications. I was not.

Lies and Truth
Is there any real benefit to hiding our inadequacies, mistakes, or sins? Who does it serve in the end to fill our environment with corrosive lies? Lies have chains that only stretch so far. Once we've reached the end of that chain we are pulled back with a violent whip-lash that leaves us and those within our spheres broken and maimed. What is the true damage in a lie? Is it the power that resides in spoken bonds, or does it rest in denying who we truly are. Can one who is blind to who they truly are ever find a sure place to stand? Why do we lie to our best selves? Is there too much pain? Or is it anticipation? Perhaps we are filled with anxieties of the unknowns of who we truly are? Will we actually like ourselves? Will we be trapped if we look and see, or are we unable to accept our own "un-acceptabilities"? Perhaps there's a notion, or an unspoken pressure, or law from the world that once you've seen yourself you must stay put, slap a sticker label on your forehead, and declare to yourself and the world that this is who you are, and that you require no more looks, time, or reason. In this web of fear it's all to clear that we have hewn the bars of our inward prisons. If the devil cannot keep us from being contented and satisfied with our blindness, then his next course of action will be to convince us that remaining in our assorted ranks and ways will keep us safe, and that any effort to step outside of that norm is dangerous, idiotic, or just not worth the effort. Why did the serpent tell our father Adam and our mother Eve to hide when they could perceive Elohim approaching? Why did he say to take some fig leafs and cover their "nakedness"? Perhaps there was another teaching hidden within the lie communicated by the serpent that was rhetorical? Fear is a powerful motivation to push us to cover our "exposed" places. It seems that the devil was more interested in getting Adam and Eve to fear Elohim to the point of trying to hide themselves from him in a time that they could actually use a councilor and friend- If the devil can win at teaching a false character of God then he does not have to work very hard to convince the sons of Adam, or daughters of Eve to hide from God. There may be a time when we try to hide from our divine self and from God, when our weaknesses or inadequacies are brought into the light. There may even be a time of stepping away, and doing some work so that, like Adam and Eve, we may return to the presence of the divine, where lies disguised as truth cannot be. Walking in the ways of truth- even if it may scourge our pride for a time is much more bearable than continuing to hid and be drown in a flood of lies over time.

Ensuring Fairness and Inclusivity in Women’s Sports
Growing up, I was raised in a faith that taught me to love everyone, regardless of their journey on this earth. My religious upbringing instilled in me the importance of compassion, empathy, and inclusiveness toward all people, no matter their background or identity. In recent years, the debate surrounding the inclusion of transgender athletes in women's sports has grown increasingly contentious. Both sides present compelling arguments: advocates for inclusion emphasize the importance of equality, while critics raise concerns about fairness and safety in athletic competition. A balanced and equitable solution that respects the rights of all athletes while maintaining the integrity of women's sports may lie in the creation of distinct subgroups for transgender and cisgender athletes. This proposal has the potential to embrace inclusion without compromising fairness, fostering a sporting environment that promotes respect and opportunity for everyone.

My First Love
The sun dappled through the overhang of leaves, creating moving shaded areas on the well used wooden seats of the old library. Aryan, a tranquil kid with a universe of contemplations behind his scenes, was immersed in an exhausted duplicate of "Pride and Bias." His heart beat with an odd musicality, a blend of expectation and apprehension, as he sat tight for her.
