Poetry on Odyssey: Fantasize

"Let's justify our actions, quit foreboding."

Here is a short poem and my general view of our world today. The focus of the poem is to say that our current reality is far from the wanted "fantasy."


What if there were a world with no commotion?

And what if there were no such thing as fear?

Let me make one thing clear:

There cannot be sadness or racket.

For those are the rules, no exceptions.

Where will we ever be able to find such a place on this planet?

The problems lie in our own depth perceptions.

This society will never be familiar to me.

Maybe someday instead of beating each other,

We will act like we are part of one another.

Or maybe when hope is needed,

Tears vanish and we finally feel completed.

But not just as an individual, but

Together, as one person.

At least, isn't that the goal?

We're not determined,

But even so,

How can we even change what's already been broken?

It's not impossible but difficult

To release all the faults we've been holding.

But if we did, that means success, not just a miracle.

Let's justify our actions, quit foreboding

As if there's no chance or too difficult

To fix, but instead, keep going.

There's no acting as if all of this is opposite from reality

Because this world is known as a fantasy.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

singing
Cambio

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
