Received a message in my messenger a few days ago. Spoke of a woman who was feeling inadequate in her relationship and described a man that was, for all intents and purposes, simply not present. It struck me when I read it. Thoughts immediately began to run in my mind. Opinions and judgements were plenty. But I ignored it. Dismissed it. Kicked it a one liner response and moved on. It’s been days later and I’m still thinking about it.

I mean, who isn’t insecure? About something. At some time. I’d wager to think that we all feel insecure at different times in our lives. It’s part of the human condition. One of the many horrible but natural things that make us human. The feelings of being inadequate. Not enough. Lacking. Whether it’s our language, body image, the lifestyle we live, etc. there seems to be plenty of reasons to make us feel less about who we are inside. And I honestly believe 99.9% of our insecurities are developed and formed in our early childhood development.

COVID-19 has been the topic of conversation for weeks and with that has come all sorts of conspiracy theories as to the how and why we’re dealing with this virus right now. I have never been one to put much weight into conspiracy theory. But like COVID-19, conspiracy theories have been somewhat hard to avoid as of late. I’ve been “tagged” and messaged by various people over the course of a good week. Many of which I don’t consider to be “crazy” or easily “duped”. So after being consistently told to check into “QAnon”, I thought why not? I’ve got time, right. So this is what I’ve found out and this is what I think. Understand that I am in no way speaking from a position of authority on the subject. As with most things I write about I’m simply sharing with you what I think. So take that as you will; hopefully with a grain of salt.

Every once in a while I come across something that I think is unique. Stands out to me as different and catches my attention. I’ve never personally met Jay Cookingham or his wife Christine; but she recently passed away, and he has been sharing their story on FaceBook.

I’ve been on FaceBook a long time now. Seen many posts of people who have passed away. Few that I’ve known. Some are a shock. Others are an extended reminder of the pain this life holds at times. People offer their condolences then generally it’s put out of mind. But this has been different. This has been anything but ordinary. And after following the posts over the last few weeks, it became increasingly clear why.

A few weeks ago I posted a blog titled, “Why I’ve chosen to be gay“. Whenever I write […]
