Praveen and Narmadha love story
Praveen and Narmadha had grown up together in a small village nestled in the mountains. They had known each other since they were children and had been inseparable ever since. They spent their days exploring the mountains, swimming in the river, and dreaming of the future.

Deconstructing My Depression. Runner-Up in Pride Under Pressure Challenge. Content Warning.
Please be warned this has very heavy topics of transphobia & suicide. I am not in the best mental state right now, as I am sure so many other people feel the same. I am sure that even if our struggles are different, many other people battle the same emotions. It can feel isolating, even though intellectually I know I am not alone in these feelings.

a modest proposal
With a rising percentage of Americans identifying as LGBTQIA+, it is clear that a cultural shift in our country is necessary to achieve any semblance of peace in the coming years. Nearly 6% of Americans identify as queer in some capacity, and an estimated 20-40% of houseless youth identify on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum. What accounts for this is often the response of family members after a child comes out. The queer youth is either kicked out or leaves their home due to safety concerns and lack of support. There must be some solution for this housing insecurity amongst queer youth that adequately addresses the harm done by straight and cis counterparts.

"Not a game,Its a emotion"
Jallikattu, also known as sallikkattu, eru thazhuvuthal, or manju virattu, is a traditional sport that takes place in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The event involves the release of a bull, usually of the Pulikulam or Kangayam breeds, into a crowd of people, who then try to grab the hump on the bull's back with both arms and hang on to it while the bull attempts to escape. The participants hold on to the hump for as long as possible, attempting to bring the bull to a stop. In some cases, participants must ride long enough to remove flags on the bull's horns.

Within the Cocoon
If walls could talk…that is the common phrase I hear all the time. I should know, I am a wall. I have seen many families reside within the room I have been watching for decades. Presently, it’s quiet, but I prefer there to be life. I enjoy observing the humans live their daily lives. Most seem to follow the same social pattern. However, there has been one particular case I have found to be intriguing. And this is the story, when I was able to witness an extraordinary transformation.

Unbound
I wore a binder for the first time today. I know it may seem like a small thing if you've never been uncomfortable in your own skin, but I've always seemed too big, too much, too many. Went to an AA meeting, a restaurant, out for a stroll, and had to weave myself around straight (passing) couples who take up the whole sidewalk–I guess they may not know what it's like to hide, or I wonder if they're insecure, unable to let go of the hand that proves their status quo. I understand that impulse, the urge to blend in with society, with 'normalcy.'
