About   

A lot of people say they don’t want drama. What they actually mean is that they don’t want emotional responsibility — ni pour eux, ni pour les autres. We live in a time where intensité is celebrated, but clarté feels threatening. People crave closeness: long nights, soft conversations, physical presence, la chaleur humaine. Yet the moment something requires direction, intention, or continuity, they freeze. So they hide behind language. “Let’s not rush.” “We’ll see.” “It’s just a moment.” As if vagueness were wisdom. As if emotional fog were depth. But there’s a difference between being deep and being lost. Between sensibilité and indecision. Between freedom and avoidance. Many minds today are divided: one part wants connection, tenderness, passion, présence. The other panics at stability, consistency, engagement. This inner contradiction creates chaos — not out of cruelty, but out of fear of choosing. And here’s the paradox: trying to avoid drama by avoiding clarity often creates the very drama people claim to hate. There is nothing poetic about emotional ambiguity. Real peace comes from knowing where you stand — même quand c’est inconfortable. La vérité est simple. Yes?

I refuse to accept a future in which we (trans women-Black/African American and Latina trans women) are subjugated and repressed.

Very sad to hear about the passing of adult male actor Lane V Rogers aka Blake Mitchell. He passed away today from a motorcycle accident. In the healthcare system motorcycles are also called donorcycles because th victims are almost always candidates for organ donation. May he rest in peace. He was only 31 years old.

In a world where being authentic is the ultimate goal, isn’t getting messy, misunderstood, underrated and such a term misused? Striving for being genuine is a higher standard. Comes from within, and honestly is so hard to find that kind of gem these days, almost becoming rare if I may. Don’t come looking for the things I can’t offer, however, I gladly share. Again: Happy Holidays. With love, Frank.

Lowkey sometimes can’t be on this app cuz everyone looks so fit and the comparison mindset starts kicking in. Why does everyone look like they’re a part of the heated rivalry cast? This is like Grindr but with full body pics😊😂😢

As a fellow know it all, in order to avoid being absolutely insufferable, it’s okay to play dumb sometimes and let other people teach you things you already know :)

Limiting beliefs are childish- Hear me out: They come from your childhood, and your justification of them makes you look like a kid. In fact you act like a child when you’re fixated in your limitations. Why? Because that’s what you’ve learned, and it’s wired in your subconscious. You identify with lack because you probably saw your parents identify with it, you feel unloveable because your parents didnt know how to love you. And because you still live from that place that’s all you see and experience. Let go of the past, set yourself free and go live your life like an adult. You can make more money than your parents did, you get to love who you choose to be with, you get to feel good about yourself simply because you exist! Talk to yourself like an adult, you get to define what type of adult you become. If you don’t know how to be one, that’s where the work begins Besos 💋

Is it a post-30s crisis to feel out of place with friendships and have the desire to meet new people, new vibes, a change of scenery?

The most childish belief in dating: “Nobody would pick someone like me” “Guys don’t seem to like guys like me” Grow up! You’re worthy of love. Stop looking for it in the wrong places. Attention is not love, And performance is not connection

Do you talk to the people you often see at your local gym? I keep to myself but I did talk to someone and they were cool. However, you miss 1 day of saying, “hey” cuz some days you just want to keep to yourself or its a rough day and that person suddenly doesn’t want anything to do with you😂. Like damn bro who hurt you?

I spent years feeling alone in relationships. Not because love was missing, but because I wasn’t really letting myself be seen. Not fully. Not in real time. What’s changing that for me isn’t more sharing — it’s more curiosity. The kind that stays present when it’s easier to perform. The kind that makes space for real connection, even when it’s a little messy. I’m working on a project about this right now — how relational curiosity might be the missing skill in how we love, listen, and relate. If this touches something in you, I’d love to hear your experience: When have you felt unmistakably seen in a relationship — or quietly unseen, even when everything looked “good”? Just collecting thoughts, patterns, language. No pressure. Just dialogue and maaaaybe some beta testing :)
