I Am a Man and I Am Scared
I am speaking about fear of private speaking here. I am talking about emotional avoidance. Maybe this is a form of impotence... I am scared of sharing intimacy. Scared of not being able to behave "like a man." Scared of expressing feelings or emotions and being treated like an object of disgust because of them. Scared... to see what happened to me as a child repeat itself, as it does, again and again, until you die, until you heal... Whatever comes first...

Cheating
Hi, my name is Daniel Moore. I was recently cheated on by an ex. It's happened to me a few times in my life but this one for some reason really hit me hard. I guess because I had built up so many walls from past relationships that I never quite gave into this one until after about 100 breakups and two and a half years. Our story begins in where else than Los Angeles, CA.

The World We Live In
For a group of people so concerned with equality we sure seem to be confused about its definition. You write petitions and organize boycotts, present legislation and walk nationwide for a universal cause, a noble and important cause, and yet, there is prejudice and inequality and though it pains me to say it, hatred within your own ranks.

Life Is A Roller Coaster
Hello, everyone. So this is my first post on here and really I am just seeing how this will go. Anyways off to my post. We all have our hard times in life, and our good times. This year has been a year of ups and downs for me. There was so many times I just wanted to give up, and cry. I was unemployed, I had lost my Opa (grandpa), to cancer, my friends had just killed themselves, and I was just feeling lost in a sea that people call life.

Gender Identity
Gender identity is generally found between the ages 13 and 19 years old. This is when teens are gaining new experiences, emotions, relationships, expectations and all of this can become overwhelming for any teen that age. However, adding gender identity into the mix of everything else that is happening within themselves and around them can cause these years to be the most confusing time for teens. They will find it hard to navigate their gender identity around school and/or home, with their doctors or even with their friends.

How Being Non-Binary Almost Lost Me My Job
I've worked in hospitality for over a year now. I always found it to be one of the most diverse and open-minded work communities. I thought that I would be accepted into it without question or judgement. For the most part, I was right.

Love... What Does It Mean to You?
What does love mean to you? To many people it could be a favorite vacation spot or a memory with someone they love. For me personally love means a lot of things. Love is never ending. When you find something that you love so so dearly, do not let it go!

5 Ways Active Duty Will Change Your Spouse
If your spouse has just returned from active duty, do not be surprised to see signs of change. Regardless of rank, or job, or the degree to which they experienced front-line combat, the military has a transformative effect on officers and recruits. Indeed, this is by design. The fraternity, the shared sense of purpose, and a wealth of proprietary experience not shared with the general public combine to bring out certain traits in active duty troops.

He Loves Her; He Loves Her Not
Her name was Maria and she was a good sister. She was a strong person who could do anything she ever wanted to do if she put her mind to it and pushed herself. There's a song from an old musical that goes "How do you solve a problem life Maria?" That song was a good fit for her, in most ways. She was stubborn and refused to let anyone tell her what was and wasn't possible. She smiled often and laughed loudly. She sung like her life depended on it and never took no for an answer. She dreamed big and her family knew she could do it. She had never been in love before. She was 17 and on her way up, but that was before him.

Signs That You're Making an Ass Out of Yourself on a Date
Back in the day, I had gone on a date with a guy who we'll call Max. Max seemed to be a good-ish guy with a lot of issues when it came to both manners and behavior — many of which ended up becoming very apparent when I sat down with him.
