The Importance Of Community

the-importance-of-community

For a long time I have not been active in the lesbian community in my area. Recently I have begun to miss that. A few weeks ago, I decided to get involved and start socializing more. I am lucky in that there is a very active lesbian club that meets less than a mile from [...]

1 Year

1-year

525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear. 525,600 minutes - how do you measure, measure a year? In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee. In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife. In 525,600 minutes - how do you measure a year in the life?
Sorry, I just couldn’t help tossing in those lyrics, [...]

Growing up there was one person that I looked up to. One person that always made me smile and who I knew loved me no matter what I looked like, who I loved, or who I would grow up to be. That person was my Grandma, but Grandma sounds odd to me. To me, she [...]

What’s It Like To Be A Lesbian?

whats-it-like-to-be-a-lesbian

I’ve actually had a couple of people ask me this question recently. At first it seems almost impossible to respond to. Hmmm, what’s it feel like to have blue eyes? Or curly hair? Or to be a heterosexual for that matter? It’s like, normal! I am totally at ease in my skin as a lesbian. [...]

Write But Not Right

write-but-not-right

As we merge more and more into our respective careers and lifestyles, it’s become increasingly harder to openly post without fear of repercussions. Or something like that. There used to be a time when the internet was not as widely used but now with social networks like Myspace and Facebook, the boy that you dated [...]
