Well sh*t. She's the Lagoda of New Bedford, the same girl as the half-scale model at the whaling museum and gifted first to the Gothenburg maritime museum, then joined the whale exhibition at the natural history museum up the hill. One will be glued to that glass for real next time she visits.

Guess who nerved up and sent that e-mail, @the-golden-vanity ? 😁

So my mom watched the final episode of ‘Wynonna Earp’ with me. My strictly Christian-Catholic conservative-brainwashed mother watched an episode representing acceptance and celebration of gay/queer marriage with the WayHaught Wedding.

She cried. She smiled. She laughed.

She seemed to really enjoy watching it.

I think it’s time I stop worrying that she won’t accept me for who I am. At this point it’s nothing but fear.

My dad on the other hand… maybe he would have something negative to say but ultimately would just go with whatever my mom thought about it in the end.

So I think I’m gonna be brave and come out to them.

Even if they already know. I mean I’ve been watching gay/queer TV art/entertainment for most of my life so I’d be very surprised if they didn’t know that I was.

Yeah, I’m gonna go for it. See what happens. If I don’t ever post again you’ll know that it never went well.

I don’t want to disappoint them after we’ve just lost our dog but I think that it’s time. At least for my mom.

I AM BEING BRAVE

Ok so I read someone's lovely awesome post about being brave and putting our creative stuff into the world and maybe someone will like it even if it's crap, and to care less about creating crap and really embracing crap, so I GIVE TO YOU MY CRAP!

The Earth is Under Attack

In no uncertain terms, the world is being terrorized by forces beyond the control of the majority of humanity. Pollution threatens the air, the water, the soil, the very core of our living planet. 

The 5 Holy Custodians

Thankfully, the Earth is not defenseless. Decades ago, the planet summoned five children from around the globe, each with a sacred destiny: to come to the aid of all living things. 

As is often the case with prophets and avatars, each of the custodians was rescued from dire and cruel circumstances by their righteous purpose. They were selected by mysterious fate to make manifest a glorious and regenerative future. 

Together, under the tutelage of a wise benefactor and with their magic rings of power, the holy custodians trained for one purpose: to meet all threats to the planet head-on, and to defeat them. They are:

Water — Tabitha Lupescu (Transnistria)

Air — Lee Min-Hee (N. Korea)

Earth — Eudes Muamba (Congo)

Fire — Levi Hoch (America)

Soul — Janu (Tibet)

Through their rings of power, they can each commune with their specific element, controlling the very nature of reality. When all else fails and the odds look bleak, they can join forces to summon the champion of the planet to come to their aid: Gaia Man.

The Final Fight

Now adults, ten years since their last disastrous mission, the custodians of Earth must reunite one last time to face the greatest danger the Earth has ever witnessed.

It will not be easy. Myriad vile forces have convened to hinder their progress and threaten their lives. Despite the odds, and with the help of old friends, the guardians of Earth will gather their significant prowess to take a stand against the forces of evil.

About

Gaia Man is the first in a duology of books, based loosely on a beloved children's cartoon show from the 90's: Captain Planet and the Planeteers. Gaia Man takes the general mythos of the series and spins it on its head, playing with more adult themes and situations. The book postulates that any group of magical children tasked with protecting the planet would inevitably find themselves labeled enemies of the status quo, and asks the question: what would they be willing to do to get the job done?

246 pages. 50,460 words.

SO YEAH...um, there it is, out there in case people wanna read it. I AM BEING BRAVE!

You can download it for free on itch (name your price. $0.00 is totally fine with me, just please let me know what you thought of it if you read it)

My first terrified attempt at watercoloring in 15 years (that is since I developed a form of color blindness/distortion), using an old practice drawing. Current anxiety level as I share it: I might get a second look at my most recent meal.

I did something quite brave yesterday I mist of a completely crappy day decided to reach out to two old friends. One I lost touch with due to time and distance, the other because years ago they felt I wrong them.

Their both I fb so I messaged both. Letting them both know how much I miss them. But not just miss them it was so much more. My first lost friend was always a person in my life that was so very postive, radiated kindness as she went through her day. They convinced that yes one I'd find something I love reading it would become a life long love affair. I credit them for my love of fanfiction! That's just tiny bit of their amazingest.

The other was like a brother to me. In every way. I never had a brother only an much older sister. But we clicked on a very deep level. We were basically inseparable for quite a few years. He's one of the closest friendship I ever had with a guy. It would take far too long to explain everything brilliant about him, all the reasons I love him so. All I can tell is when I found him on fb, seen his smiling face I started to sob. Because of the pain of missing that face in my life and overwhelmed joy that he's doing so good and is happy.

I sent them both messages. I really didn't expect anything, especially from 2nd friend... Low and be hold I was happily surprised when both of them sent me messages back. I was literally crying when I seen them. My first friend said they sorry that we had lost touch. That they missed me and loved me and of course we're still friends. So like them.

The one the basically my brother. Was happy to hear from me. Couldn't even remember why he been upset at me. Of we're still friends that never ended. I got to chat with him for a bit he online. It was amazing to be talking to him after so many years.

I just had to share this happiness I had happened yesterday. 😁❤️ The whole day completely turned around. I'm glad I sucked up my fear and reach out. Two people I've missed so deeply for years are now back in my life. I don't how big or small that might be there here!!

34 -

My family thinks I’m absolutely nuts. They’re constantly whispering to younger cousins “don’t copy her” and “she’ll always be the wild one, never thinking”. I was desperate to fit in but I never really did. And now I’m out here wondering why the hell I ever wanted to in the first place.

Blood is thicker than water, but water has the power to dilute the strength of blood.

True, I can be reckless and impulsive. If I want something, I have to have it. I am selfish and persistent in my pursuit. Whether or not it’s good for me is another story. I’m stubborn and sensitive, sometimes blindly optimistic.

But frankly, if we spend time waiting for the perfect moment….it’ll never come. No matter how much we plan and prepare, there are always uncertainties.

I believe we have to create opportunities for ourselves. I don’t want to wait around and wonder, I want to know. If I fail (is anything really a failure or just a redirection?), then I have more information than I started with. Something was still gained.

Some caution is a good thing. However, awareness + acceptance always > caution.

It’s not about succeeding - it’s about trying. It’s about having faith, trusting that things are always working out in your favor. Reflection and introspection, then continuing to move forward. Everything is a lesson, to teach us more about ourselves.

At the end of my life, I want to be able to say I lived a full one. That I didn’t hold back out of fear. That I didn’t succumb to being a victim of circumstance, I didn’t stay complacent within the status quo. I don’t want there to be any “what-ifs”. I want to be able to say that it all had to happen this way. That I understand the meaning of my story.

That I loved fiercely and passionately. That I didn’t allow the injustices of the world to harden me. That I used my pain for good, turned it into hope. That I continued to strive for better, that I never gave up.

That I didn’t do it perfectly, but I did it with compassion, self-respect, and grace. That I confidently pursued my dreams and I humbly acknowledged my mistakes. That my experiences shaped me, they didn’t just happen to me.

At the end, I want to say that I know who I am and what I stand for. That in my life, I made the most of it to become the truest version of myself.
