Empowerment
Three Fat Women.
One was Mrs. Richman and the other Mrs. Suttlef. One was a widow, the other had divorced two husbands. The third was Miss Hacken. She was still a virgin. All three were about forty years old. And the days of life were passing by merrily. Mrs. Suttlef's features were distorted by obesity. Her arms, shoulders, and hips seemed heavy. But even in her middle age she was still beautiful. She wore a blue dress only to make her eyes shine, and she maintained the beauty of her hair in artificial ways. She liked Mrs. Richman and Miss Hacken because they were both fatter than she was. And since she was slightly younger than them, she thought of her as her own daughter. This was not a bad thing. They were both cheerful. She often joked about her future fiancé. She herself was far from the entanglements of this love affair. But in this matter she had full sympathy with Mrs. Suttlef. She was sure that she would soon have a new flower.

Pretty femboys
Once seen as taboo or misunderstood, the image of the “pretty femboy” is rising and it’s turning heads for all the right reasons. With a soft aesthetic, gentle confidence, and gender-defying charm, femboys are reshaping the narrative around masculinity and beauty. This isn’t about trends or shock value. It’s about identity, self-expression, and pushing back against outdated gender norms.

Last Lights on Birch Road
Okay, so. My name’s Maya. I’m fourteen. I live on Birch Road. And this story? It’s real. Like, *super* real. You might think I’m making it up because, well, streetlights don’t *do* that stuff. But they do. I saw it. And I’m writing it down so if anything weird happens to me later (kidding… maybe?), someone will know the truth.

Does Truth Still Hold Its Value
Truth defines the character and spirit of a person willing to speak directly from their heart.' A fleeting moment in the lives of many who prefer a more disguised version of truth, often for fear of not being accepted for who they are. Our world has built walls of acceptance with conditions that require participants to live by a conditioned code of familiarity. Currently, this encompasses a diverse range of spoken rhetoric that may appear manipulative to those who prefer the art of truth. Defining this honest way of being takes us to the depths of a human who is comfortable in their own skin. Truth is subjective and open to philosophical interpretation and thought. One person's truth may be another's biased vision of the same subject. For example, the mythical city of Atlantis is a concept debated by historians, spiritualists, and seekers who search for truth in places others may not look. The seeker desires the truth and only the truth and will follow the gingerbread trail to the ends of the Earth to find it. Once discovered, the seeker takes the role of a detective sifting through a cold case where information was limited. We then draw upon the value of intuition, that gut feeling that often speaks louder than facts. Seeking truth is a solitary vigil for the seeker, unraveling ancient secrets and cover-ups by those who distort Earth's history and our perception of it. Power makes people hide what is true and redefine the imagery they want others to see. People in high places alter records and archives to make us believe in myths, fairytales, and folklore. We are a human race of believers and we are often easily influenced. The seeker longs for truth in all things, knowing the nature of humans to choose power over integrity.

Difference
'Rewriting the script of your life is a brave frontier and requires a willingness to step out of the old into the new.' Many will follow a well-rehearsed pathway familiar in origin, but few dare to reinvent their story with unique innovation. Welcome to the dance of evolution and the feelings that come with growing through experiences that can break your spirit, while expanding your truth of self. A fragmented vision of uniqueness molded with precision and programming. Somewhere in our distant past, a split occurred that fractured the hearts of those left out in the cold due to their dishonored points of difference. Humanity became defined by their skin color, cultural background, sexuality, and religious devotion. We disagreed about how we looked and what we believed in. Conflict ensued as Planet Earth lit up with the flames of racism, bias, narcissism, and unfairness. Mother Earth shifted on her axis as tears fell from her intuitive heart. Humanity was now an anomaly, a rogue race in the shadow of love and difference. A weakness in our collective stronghold, and why our intelligence demands we terminate bigotry, ageism, classism, nationalism, sexism, and homophobia. Our strength lies in unity; when we have the guts to break down the walls of intolerance. Now the tide turns in favor of acceptance and sympathy for those targeted by hate. A cold and cruel word that infects the human psyche. Words are powerful, and when voiced in harsh tones, they pour poison from programming and negative influence.
