I'm Comfortable here!
Why Do I Have To Wake Up?
Waves lap one another as the sun kisses my skin,
The taste of Pineapple juice is no sin,
Sweet voices in the air as the seagulls sing,
Squishing sand between my toes is my favorite thing!
Smells of donuts, waffles, fish, and chips fill the air,
Letting the world go by,
Tomorrow's chores are not today's!
The shrill of an alarm makes me jump,
I give it such a loud thump!
What is so important that I have to be disturbed from my
peaceful haven where things are less absurd?
Real life is a bitch, not a beach!
I'm comfortable here,
Why do I have to wake up?

Sunsetting Pride 2024
Happy Pride! As Pride Month 2024 begins to sunset, I want to congratulate every individual who has become brave enough to take control of their life and live as their authentic, beautiful self. This is a month when it highlights those accomplishments. From acceptance within families and friends to acknowledgement in the political arena. Starting with Stonewall (and events prior) leading to the Supreme court ruling for same-sex marriages. We are here, we are queer, and we should never live in fear.
