I decided to write “I Want to Be Free” because I wanted to help people understand why June is essential to the Alphabet Army. But I realise that in doing so, I probably held back on how I truly feel about the things most of us go through daily. One of the biggest things that [...]
PRIDE! One of the most significant months for the queer community worldwide happens to be June, regardless of when any country holds their respective Pride parades. And for the longest possible time, June has also been an essential month for corporations to showcase their “support” to the community. Credit: @mattxiv on Instagram But before we [...]
Being a part of the Alphabet Army isn’t all rainbows and sunshine, even though it looks that way on some occasions. Sure, rainbow flags, glitter, and stunning fashion may be fun to look at, but there’s so much more to the community than just that. Seeing how it is pride month, I thought it would [...]
Isn’t it funny how we thought 2020 was the worst possible year of our lives? Of course, that was until 2021 came along. And while I didn’t enjoy 2020, 2021 made my anxiety go through the roof! Yes, I had a terrible time last year too. But we’re only in May right now, and I [...]

I happened to post “Baby Don’t Hurt Me.” on Valentine’s Day because I needed something to be up on the blog. It’s been a year, and while I’d still like to believe that, it was so much more than just a filler post. I was a bitter individual who was tired of seeing “love” and [...]
The suddenness! The sheer suddenness of the move. The unexpected nature of the move. The unpredictability of the move. The fact that there was no warning! 2020 has been an absolute shit show, and even though I was delusional enough to think this would be my year, it, in some way, was. But before I [...]
