Why "Waxing Poetic"?

    Ahh, gentle reader,     

    A few nights ago, my Sweetie and I were cuddling and talking, and I was feeling extra mushy. I said, "I don't know why I'm waxing poetic about everything today.", and the phrase has been stuck in my head ever since. It's one that I really like, probably because no one says it anymore. 

    There's also the fact that there's SO MUCH negativity everywhere now. And I am guilty of it, too. I want a place where I can remind myself of and share mostly positive things, things that make me giggle, things that remind me of the beauty of human beings - beyond my beloved Sweetie, who is the most beautiful of the humans. 

   

    Warning: Incoming cheese! 

    One of the things that brings me the most joy is that my Sweetie makes me laugh every day. EVERY. DAY. I think that is the most magnificent magic. They are not as sarcastic as I am, so it's usually positive humor. They are just so funny. That was what drew me so strongly to them. (That's a story for another day.) I just feel so lucky, so blessed, to have found my home, who just happens to be hilarious.

Autumn soothes my soul

Ahh, Gentle Reader, Summer is hard for me, for many reasons. I don't handle heat well. Other people can't stand the thought of possibly having a natural scent, so they bathe in perfume/cologne, (which hinders my breathing). I get sunburns. It's just not a good time.  But eventually, summer comes to an end, and the magical season of autumn arrives. I've been particularly overcome this year by the breathtaking beauty around me. The trees are so vividly colored, I can look at nothing else. I feel that the beauty of fall fills something in my soul that I can't even identify. It's a balm for me.  This year, I'm trying to pick some leaves and laminate them to put in my journal, and a few to send to penpals in far away lands. I hope wherever you are, that you are enjoying this absolutely beautiful time of year.  Love,  Izzy

The Breakup

Ahh, Gentle Reader, I recently broke up with a penpal. I have not heard back from her, so I’m not sure what she might say. She was my longest running penpal. She was also the oldest in age, I believe. We were friends on Failbonk. I loved her . She has always been kind to me. So, what’s the problem, you ask?  She shared a couple posts that I so strongly disagreed with, that I was forced to act . I could not allow such injustice-driven posts to go unnoticed or unchallenged . I could not ignore the fact that she was spreading misinformation and unfiltered hatred on to her friends and that it was hurting me .  The first one was about the rainbow, and how humanity had distorted its meaning. Apparently, it was to symbolize a covenant with “God”. I don’t know anything about this, as I gave up Christianity many years ago. I simply cannot reconcile the “just and loving God” with the one that allows children to be raped, women to be oppressed, innocent people to be tortured and kil...

Not a small part of me HATES him

Ahh, Gentle Reader, Dad has been haunting me today. First, "29", then going to the hardware store (where every smell, every tool, every man covered in grease who knows what the fuck he's talking about reminds me of Dad), then a man on the bus with worker's hands - dirty and beat up, and lastly a penpal who asked what my favorite time of day was.  Not a small part of me HATES him for what he did to Mom - what he turned her into.  And part of me loves him because he was our Dad.  And another part FULLY believes he would have hated Matt for who they are (without actually getting to know them).  And I wonder if he would hate the Drag Queens and ALL the Trans KIDS and people who are being silenced, if not killed. And when I think about that, it SICKENS me. I'm glad I only inherited his physical problems, and not his mental defects.  Dad was racist, and sexist, and many not good things. He died when I was 20, and only starting to learn about feminism and activism and ...
