Your Reflection: It's not them, it's you!

It is a complex combination of parallel traits and kindred mannerisms attempting to fit into a symmetrical synergy, it's a discovery of identity and a dive into the depths of dissimilarity, it's an awakening to the knowledge of imperfections and purity, and it is the evolution of brilliance. Doesn't this description sound mysteriously appealing but somewhat intimidating? By now, I am sure you are wondering what I am talking about. Humans are miraculous creations, so divinely assembled with all the pieces fitting into the correct spaces, woven together by the elements of the earth, and held together by the very essence of God;  living phenomenons powerful enough to shift the entire balance of an atmosphere just by being present. We are light moving in darkness, triumphantly blazing a trail for others to follow. Isn't it ironic that we can be all so profoundly glorious and be absolutely blind at the same time?  People, including myself, struggle to see things that are s...

Passionate about Passion Jonesz

I grew up in a Christian home, headed by a dominant but loving grandmother.  My grandma was in a word and understatement, brilliant.  The depths of this woman's wisdom ran deeper than any of us were aware.  As a child, my beloved grandmother suffered a lot of emotional, verbal, and mental abuse and trauma.

Of all the things she taught me, sex was never a subject to be discussed and any mentioning of sexuality other than being heterosexual(she probably didn't know this word), I am sure would've caused complete pandemonium.  I have always been different and hyper-aware of my differences in comparison to my friends and family.  While I didn't know what made me the oddball, I knew something about me wasn't the norm.     The Talk I started my period when I was 11 years old.  My mom gave me a Kotex pad(hated those), told me to put it on, and go back to bed. Later that day, I...
