Everyone’s identities are inextricably tied to their own experiences. Growing up, I knew that I was gay; that I did not identify as a boy. Knowing this, I had to learn what that meant for me in the broad scope of society, as I became socialized around certain suspicions and attitudes of femininity and people like me.

Just behind the pair of desks on the left side sits a printer which makes a warm, soothing hum when printing paper.

On the right side pair of desks you see men…

He watched the dancers move. He analyzed every detail, from the slight but graceful gestures of their hands to the flow of their steps. The weight of the bodies were well controlled, resulting in a smooth performance, with no sign of any stumbling. Flawless. Lovely. Like all of the dancers he’d seen on stage or even on TV.

Many people ponder over the thought on how they hear sounds, how their ears work, and how different sounds are perceived. Sound is in fact, just the vibration of the particles of an object, but the way the human ear distinguishes different sounds is truly fascinating.

cycle within a large family. Hours go by, filled with lessons on how to deal with boys and those ‘pesky whisker burns,’ old stories, life lessons, heart to hearts, and tears of laughter. Throughout our hours of conversation and bonding, the faint hum of QVC sales representatives are with us until the wee hours of the morning. My grandmother is a VIP platinum member of QVC, and most likely their most loyal customer since the conception of their program. Not a single QVC product deal sneaks by…

He felt the coldness of their gaze.…
