      It’ S Time To Say Goodbye To Being “The Good Gay”

      Jul 29, 2022

      Summer Playlist: Beyond the Cyclical

      Jun 20, 2018

      It’s summer, which means it’s time for a new playlist. Instead of seeking out new music, I decided instead to play through the songs in my current music library, combing for old or undiscovered gems. If you’re like me, you’ve accumulated music over t

      Around me are fifty or so men, in whose company I will sit and be silent for ten days. I eye them discreetly, wondering who among them is going through a crisis. Who, like me, has a family. Who’s single, who’s been dumped, who’s poor or unhappy. Who’

      Every failed relationship

      Every hardship

      Every tear drop cried

      Every tragedy that’s befallen us

      Every feeling of emptiness

      Every wrong path in life we’ve taken

      Has led us to each other

      And as bad as the past has been,

      I wouldn’t change a single thing

      We belong together

      FOR MON X X X

      SAD BUT TRUE

      It seems the one thing

      that has always saved my soul countless times

      is Rock Music

      When life has felt futile

      and been overcast with loneliness that won’t subside

      lyrical emancipation has given me hope

      and shed light on thoughts so dark

      they betrayed my will to live
