Identity
Chakra Confessions
The sacral chakra, also referred to as Svadhishthana, is the ‘I feel’. The olor associated with it is orange. This chakra is all about emotional expression. Do you let emotions flow through you freely or do you suppress/avoid certain emotions? Your creativity, sexuality, life force energy (desire), and ability to self soothe all stem from your sacral chakra. A balanced sacral chakra will allow you to have healthy emotional regulation.

A Woman's Journey to Self Discovery
Welcome back to my journey of figuring out who I am, my journey is still going on so this is just what I know so far; I thought I was straight but I since realized that I am not and now I want to figure out what that means as far as my life goes. When I realized that I might be bisexual I thought I was going to feel this huge revelation but I just felt the same, I could say that it was a big adjustment for me but it wasn’t, this was just one more thing about me. I wish I could be like those people who have a great clarifying moment where they are sitting in their room and it just hits them and have this breakdown because they are so scared to say it out loud. I had a dream one night, and then a few weeks later had another dream and after that, I was like huh, I guess I like both men and women and that was the end of that, I didn’t cry or feel scared about it. Sometimes we have a tendency to over-exaggerate a story because we think that people will want to hear it that way but in truth people just want you to be honest with them about your truth.

Their Own Words – A Better Man
Their Own Words – A Better Man (Part One) When I lie beneath a clear night sky, gazing up at a million stars, my mind often goes back to when I was a kid, when I was told that each one of those stars was someone who loved us and who was now watching over us.

Dark to Light, Chaos of You
When the rise comes down like a fall. The life of the many is all but unique. Screw it all most would say and just focus on you. For those where it doesn’t come easy, a rollercoaster of crazy and a struggle with yourself to consume your soul with darkness. Like characters from kingdom hearts, you lie in wait for someone to dive in to save you. For someone who is spiritually known for relying on yourself events of the past, that’s set on repeat. Constantly changing and forming your way of life until you are unable to take control of the wheel. As much as you yell and shout the darkness still has held.

A Woman's Journey to Self Discovery
Talking about the subject of sexuality is not something I’m very good at because I’m used to hiding who I am; it isn’t that I’m afraid of my family, I just don’t see it as their business who I chose to be with, and for the most part, I thought I was straight. For a long time, I assumed I was heterosexual and I would grow up and do all the things that come with that, like having kids and getting married and I was prepared for that. I had a certain view on bisexuality that as I got older began to contradict themselves; I was like most people who thought that those people were just being greedy and that they were just trying to hide who they really were. Don’t get me wrong there are lots of people who use bisexuality as a shield, it’s like they think that if they say they are bisexual then they can still have somewhat of a normal life. However, they soon realize that hiding who they are is never the answer and they drop the shield and just be themselves; whether that is straight or gay it doesn’t matter just as long as you are happy and can look yourself in the eye and be ok.

I feel my calling, Let It Be
As I have watched this year go by, I have been paying more attention to issues surrounding LGBTQ youth. I am paying closer attention to the mistreatment of those you who identify as gay ( I will use this term instead of LGBTQ) throughout the article. There is no malice intended, nor insults or disrespect. I am in the same community and with me having cellulitis in my eyes and eye sockets even writing this article is difficult.

Girlflux: what it means, and who I am
I've never seen myself as a typical girl. When I was younger, I was very much a tomboy - I never cared for the stereotypically girly stuff, and I found my fun outside, either riding my bike or playing in the dirt. I didn't feel comfortable in skirts or dresses (I still don't), and no pink for me, thanks. I actively found enjoyment in my rejection of being a 'girly girl'.

Searching for Normal
Most people probably wouldn't choose Provo Utah as a place to live when they are Gay and have a love affair with rocks and incense. I've thought a lot about where to start my story. Should it be back when I was kid being raised in the Catholic church? Or that time I was forced out of the closet and took my family years to be like, "Oh yeah ok, that's fine." I will be going off on some tangents so just bare with me. I promise I have a point... I think... It's an adventure.

Dating while Demi
Demisexual. One of the least known sexualities. Being part of the Asexual family but never invited out. Typically left out, and pushed aside, by just being told, we're too picky or are being too much of a prude. Just lemme smash. No, for so many reasons! So let's start.
