THE FORGOTTEN MATE
Introduction Alex sighed as he strolled down the streets of his small town. He knew everyone around him and felt the warmth and comfort of his friends and Neighbors every day yet felt like something was still missing from his life. Or someone, he corrected himself. He was 32 years old and had long ago come to terms with his identity as an openly gay man, but his quest to find the man of his dreams had been frustrating and fruitless.

A Love Story. Content Warning.
A Love Story In the quiet town of Willowbrook, where cobblestone streets meandered through rows of ivy-clad houses and ancient oak trees stood as silent sentinels, a love story as timeless as the town itself unfolded. This is the tale of Elara and Tristan, two souls whose paths converged in a symphony of serendipity and fate.

Renaissance, From the Latin Nasci, Meaning to Be Born.. Content Warning.
I must admit, I’m not a loyal or well-versed attender to Beyonce’s music. I don't know every song; I don't even know every album. However, as a public and frequent listener to her songs that I like, I have been allowed to speak on her as if I were an expert. I was recently asked which of her albums is worth listening to in its entirety. Of course, I qualified my opinion by explaining my lack of knowledge and general distaste for idolatry and icons, my disdain at her billionaire status, and how my relationship with her music is “tenuous, at best.” Ultimately, I had an answer and offered that Renaissance is that album. That, due to its very nature, it must be.
