    I suppose that means it starts at the top with fathers teaching sons that its okay. Also, teachers-students, mentors-mentees, coaches-athletes, etc. So, maybe its not the boys who are to blame, but the men that teach the boys how to cope with inadequacy.

    Only when I was able to recognize that doubt could I begin to see that there might be some other way of being. Until kids are shown that its okay to be any other way, Im not certain that there is much hope for change.

    It occurs to me that uncertainty w/r/t "masculinity" may be the very source of my disease - . Confused and conflicted about my relative worth, I withdrew into booze, subsequently cocaine, or anything else that might numb the doubt shot through me.

    In other words: crazy can't fix crazy. Find a friend that'll tell you that something is garbage. Yay.

    If you're new to the game, find a few writers who might rip out your soul and shape it into something that a stranger might read. It'll hurt, but the hurt means a whole lot less when others begin to compliment your writing.

    I don't know much about writing fiction, but what I know I've learned from critique, and the wisdom of other writers who are smarter, more objective than me. I would be nowhere if it weren't for these amazing people who've nurtured me.

    Dreamers should be protected. No wall should be built on the border with a friendly country. College must be more affordable. Women deserve access to reproductive health services. All Muslims shouldn’t be banned, & the press isn’t the enemy of the people.

    "Convenience is all destination and no journey." The most meaningful things to come out of my life have been the most difficult to accomplish. We are unhappy because we are no longer compelled to try at life.

    Asking a prisoner to pay for his incarceration is nonsense, especially if prison is intended to "rehabilitate" criminal offenders. Punishing prisoners for seeking change via creativity is tantamount to cruel and unusual punishment.
