I can’t remember a time not being gay and for the first part of my life, thought that everyone was until we hit purbety and start looking at the opposite gender to have babies with. We only know ourselves and I assumed we all go through the same things. When the rest of the guys in my class started crushing on girls, I was glad to be too. It was a sign of maturity, I thought, because men married women and I had been expecting the change. My attraction for guys didn’t fade

Hey #Porcupine, have you heard about Stress? Yeah, apparently that’s what Anxiety-Depression Heart is being labelled. Can you believe it? It’s true. I’ve seen entire room silenced the moment she stepped in. People were avoiding her and whispering her name in fear it’d conjure her somehow, and when I mentioned and wanted to invite her to join us, I was hushed quickly. Dull and uninvolved, people were noticeably superficial around her and conversations were short but the mo

How was your day #Porcupine? Earlier, Papa Heart and I were conversing when Laughter barged in. Realizing we were in the middle of something important, Laughter was quick to apologize feeling out of place. “No need to apologize since you are a little rowdy.” I replied. “As you have not yet baked your pie and time is always hungry and almost insatiable, except for when it comes to your pies. I might never know why but from the first bite, to the very last one, time stops fo

Do you know who loved surprises and telling stories, #Porcupine? Santa, and he travelled the world to give the gift of wonder. Here is a story about Santa, before he grew old and fat, and why we bring trees inside that you might not have heard before. ~~~ twit twit twit ~~~ Winters always were long and cold up in the north. Nights were frigid and back in the old days, families relied on their reserves and each other during the long months. Kids grew up greatly during this

There is an untold adage to an old days' tale. An account that doesn’t necessarily conflict or contradict with popular beliefs but meshes on its own between the lines of the stories we know. Overlapping as colours make red and green. We tell children what we’ve learned ourselves; of a merry old man that lives in the north with elves, but remain aware #Porcupine as this version unfolds the origin of werewolves and exposes a different side of the jolly man during a difficult

#Porcupine, if you are looking for answers, first tell me what is your identity. Excuse me for asking but I’ve heard people speaking of “an unseen world” as if there is a gate or a tail end and I’m concerned that you fall for the spectacular. The rule is that sound mixed with a state of mind that is boundless and colours will always turn to total blackness, is that not accurate? You should know what I mean since we all experience it from time to time. The veil, if you want

Good morning #Porcupine. How have you slept? When I woke up, the bright sun outside and warm temperature made it that I couldn’t resist going out for a little morning cardio with Anxiety-Depression for a great start to my day. You know how important it is for me that my body is strong and able so I laced up my running shoes and headed out to the beach. What is not to love? Fresh air? A good stretch and a little pump? I was feeling good and proud of myself for following

What is the process of learning, dear #Porcupine? I was hanging out with Effort, Reputable and Expertise earlier this afternoon, catching a movie later. We were hungry and there was a place that looked like a restaurant but didn’t have any sign other than then being open for business. Curious and up for any cuisine, we went in to find an open space that had two rows of round tables with chairs all the way down the middle of the room and three cubicle-style concepts areas on

How is it hanging #Porcupine? Have you ever played a friendly game of Monkey in the Middle? A game of skills amongst kids to learn about behaviour, positioning and participation. Well, once older and surely wiser, we instead refer to the ball we toss as our knowledge, successes and ego. What? Your banana is bigger? Not larger but longer? Enticing, but are you asking to be compared to the others? Did you say sweeter? Aged or a spoiling wise one? Enticing, but should I u

Kindle for a riddle, #Porcupine? <3 <3 <3 What can be used to cook, build, climb, stack, and is perfectly collected and remains 100% itself even if blown up by dynamite? <3 <3 <3 A heart made of stone is one that is sturdy and resilient. Even when it breaks, is blown, smashed or crushed, every shattered piece remains absolute, which is remarkable. Making them emotionally stable and trustworthy. They are easy to talk to, therefore understand everything because they’ve heard

Sonar, Santa Claus “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I wanted to become Santa Claus and that’s what I answered each time. The job needed someone that could differentiate what is right from what is wrong and I was convinced that I was born young to learn how the world works and live old forever to give something thoughtful to everyone nice or a potato to those on the naughty list with a lesson of cultivation. Strange how the mind of a child works, isn’t it? It was d

Jogging has literally opened new horizons for me. I can go for longer distances with a lot less effort than before. Did you know about the park farther down the trail? It was lively so I took a break and snapped this memorable picture. >On the left, there were three gentlemen sitting in lawn chairs controlling these miniature sailing boats, with a fourth one throwing a metal rake tied to a rope as far in the pond as he could to pull back the weeds to the shore. I talked t

You talk about the stars And who you think we all are. There’s planets afar With meteors a jar. A moon or a few But none the dew. Stars of all size And galaxies to harmonize. A pull like a bull, But none bigger, stronger or better Than the fire of a gun Or the Arabian Sun. You know yourself, That is fine. Since we only know ourselves, I’ve asked #Porcupine. You can be a prince and you can wear a crown, Constellations are above and you are not part of one. You’re here, look up

I was out of milk this morning so had tea instead but that doesn’t start a day the same way. I wasn't moving very fast about anything. Not in any hurry at all. The day wasn’t very sunny and it was indeed nice to enjoy a little staying in. It's raining today and it is forecasted all day so I decided to head over to the grocers and walk the aisles. I grabbed some fresh chicken and ground turkey, along with some of my favs veggies. I waved hello to the clerk and said hi to

Onions are resilient, layered and have a unique defence mechanism. The soil they grow in affects their flavours and storage life, and while onions can be harvested at any stage of it’s growth cycle, it is when it’s leaves drops and starts to wither that they have reached full maturity. Pull them out and shake the soil off. Many grows them themselves, yet most grabs their onions from the supermarket. Although similar, there are different varieties of onions and some are swe

#Porcupine, I went jogging this morning. Why would anyone leave their Heart in concrete on the sidewalk? There was no name.

Oh #Porcupine, Are you telling me that if I find you the right spot, enrich the soil with compost and manure, keep you perfectly hydrated, diligently weed free, ensure you have the space you need to grow with a tad of TLC that you are not going to turn out to be absolutely outstanding in your field? It’ll take time, Effort and the right attitude from you. Settle those roots deep and take the space that is yours to have. It will all depend how quickly and how well you can a

Silly #Porcupine. You’ll hurt someone with those sharp quills, guaranteed. Don’t disagree when you can’t even see behind yourself, and do not point those things my way and pretend that I don’t know you to be completely harmless front to back. The truth is, I should apologise for teasing when the way you are is how I like you to be. Sonar Silverstud 8P Agent of Fortune *Share to comment - start a conversation - find me on social*

*There is nothing like family.* I found myself particularly inquisitive today. I think on my feet usually. You know, on the go-go, but seems like all I get are more questions. Maybe I’m not asking the right questions or asking them the right way, and maybe I shouldn’t be looking for answers at all but for better questions to ask instead. You see what I mean, #Porcupine? Is it true that we think differently depending on who we are with? What about where and when? Will I
