Everything is bigger in Texas. Big trucks, big hair, big booties, and big hearts. I can't verify that fact in it's entirety based on a single trip to Dallas many years ago, but I can tell you about one of the biggest and sweetest hearts I have been lucky enough to meet currently living there.

@lushlex has a big ol' marshmallow heart so soft and...

Last year was a fairly rough patch of skin on our feet as we tried to walk down a new path tall and proud. Some of us earned a few new scars and others somehow found time to relax and catch up on all that media backlogged on our bookshelves. However we spent the past year, all of us can agree it was definitely one...

It has been a dreadfully long time since I've offered any tribute to the beauties that inhabit this site. Through a pandemic that felt like a re-imagination of the Black Plague, anxieties and darkness plundered our hopes and dreams. Shadows loomed like vampires in the night and the full moon yearned for the madness of our lycanthropic howls. Our own ghosts haunted our homes as...

Most people think of me as a naive and inexperienced person when it comes to relationships. I'm not going to argue nor agree with that simplistic statement as much of it can be found true while pieces of that naivety are learned notes from a song that often goes unheard. What I'm trying to say is, people see a person that lives outside of romantic...

Love is not always a whimsical array of music notes and rays of sunshine, but oftentimes finds itself defined by the oils that grease the gears and the movement that shifts us partially forward and sometimes back. It's a difficult dance to learn but an easy song to sing, a righteous ray of hope doused with a little too much salt when configuring the right...

Life can pull some of the most cruel pranks with a vicious tilted grin and zero apologies offered, but between the muted rays of sunlight and gray shaded clouds rests a heart that still beats with intent.

We've all been there before, haven't we? That deep down feeling of guilt or shame, the creeping anxiety like a stealthy spider slowly walking up our spine, or...

The past year was one of the most difficult periods of time most of us have faced since first drawing breath outside of our mother's womb. We've lost so much in a matter of months, weeks, or, in some cases, days after the pandemic first hit. Companies crumbled under the pressure as they sought something suitable to sustain themselves during a time when leaving the...

Begin with an introduction of self, something we should know about you that might not make the first impression list when meeting you for the first time:

It's fairly obvious that I'm shy when I first meet anyone, but one (or two or three) things that I freely share with friends, strangers, and strangers that are on their way to becoming friends are hugs, kisses,...

Nominated by @victoriaboness back in January, but I only recently had my account reactivated so I'm giving it a shot before I go (again).

1. Name

Nowadays most of my friends know me as Xander due to Roller Derby and my gamertags/online persona, but older friends and family call me by my first name (Josh) though I enjoy like going by a variation of my...

I did steal this from @nebula so I could sneak in a few more posts before my membership expires (again) in 4 days (from tonight).

1. What song have you been listening to on repeat lately?

Lewis Capaldi's "Before You Go" which hits really hard these days for (somewhat) obvious reasons as the world goes mad and mental health becomes a full time job.

She always wore makeup. Always.

Eyeliner, lipstick, a touch of blush.

She painted on a smile to wear everywhere she went whether she intended to attend a party or was pulled along with only a minor amount of kicking and screaming like a hormonal teenager torn between seeing the boy of her dreams and sparing herself from embarrassment. Never once did her smile smudge or...
