I lived in a White World until I was 25!. Top Story - May 2025.
I was born in the predominantly white population of Northern Ireland in 1972. This will sound crazy to some people, but for the first 25 years of my life, the only connection I had to another culture was through an Indian boy in my high school.

My Ideal Man
I rarely or if ever divulge details about my love life, but this story is perfect for me to do just that. It's been nearly six years since I was in a long-term relationship and at one point, was engaged to be married. Dating has drastically changed over the years, but as for me, I'm still looking for that special man to spend the rest of my life with. As someone who has Autism, it has been difficult for me find a man to date or be in a relationship with, because some assume that my disability is a burden to them. When they hear the word disability, they assume that they'll be taking care of me forever. Despite my disability, I have a job and live a regular life. So no, I'm NOT a burden. My expectations of finding an ideal partner aren't outrageous or unreasonable. Once you have finished reading this story, you'll know a little bit about the things I expect from a man.

"I'm completely straight," I told myself while sitting in the school classroom trying to keep my eyes on my work to avoid staring at the beautiful girl sitting on the table opposite me.

The PERSON Who Never Told a lie In His entire Life
In the golden heart of Arabia, amid the sands of Makkah, a light was born not to illuminate just a single land, but the entire world. Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) came into a society divided by tribal wars, choked by ignorance, and drowned in injustice. But he came not to condemn, rather to uplift — with words as soft as a breeze and a heart vast enough to hold the burdens of all.

Unchained Horizons
The sky was bruised with clouds, swollen and heavy, hanging over the broken link of chain that lay abandoned on the asphalt. Beyond it stood a wall—tall, whitewashed, cruelly clean—ringed with barbed wire and crowned with silence. A metal ladder leaned against it like a whisper of rebellion. This was not just any wall. It was a divider of lives, of truths, of past and future. And the chain, once taut with containment, now lay slack and shattered.

unbound. Top Story - May 2025.
2004 when i was in high school, i powerlifted and crude peers joked that my "tits would get hard." this didn't seem like a problem to me, but i knew what they intended to mean—small breasts, flat, more like pecs, defined and masculine. how derogatory of a woman. unfitting and disgusting. my irreverence toward gendered expectations bristled, challenged, and disturbed some. it excited others.
