They’re Using You …

melodyinsights Opinion

Reading Time: 4 minutes

  There is a very good piece on Unherd by Gavin Haynes that’s well worth a read as it holds up a mirror to the mob mentality of identity politics within social media – The Purity Spiral, do go read it. In my absence from social media I find that I’ve been labelled a bigoted transphobe.  […]

SwirlingFire: Reality versus Fantasy

melodyinsights #WickedWednesday, Swirlingfire 6

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Reality versus Fantasy My reality is not your truth – it does not mean I’m a liar.  My memory recall is poor, not my ability to know the genuine, accurate real “right” from manipulated, twisted, abusive “wrong”.

Top 5 Posts Here are the most clicked on blogs during 2020.  Four posts are my personal experiences, except for one – ‘Canary in a Coalmine’ was a massive turning point of support for those that read and recognise the subtle nuances of life experiences many of us never talk about.  The survivor of that […]

SwirlingFire: Canary In A Coalmine

melodyinsights #WickedWednesday, Swirlingfire 365Words 15

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Canary In A Coalmine “I will die without you”, he wailed, as the snot bubbles muffled his tears of well rehearsed anguish. Daily use of five fingered ferns could not subdue his rage, it masked that he had, unsurprisingly skipped his anti-psychosis meds. “ I won’t survive without you”, he snivelled. Threatening to kill himself, […]

SwirlingFire: Mental Bondage

melodyinsights #WickedWednesday, Swirlingfire 365Words 4

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Mental Bondage First text and last text of each day. Doesn’t sound like a big task. It wasn’t. It was so easy to trap my mind into a continuous loop to revolve around him, his needs and wants, I was excluded. First text and last text were often ignored, usually because I could see his […]

SwirlingFire: The Sadist and the Fawn

melodyinsights #4Thoughts_Fiction, Swirlingfire 365Words 13

Reading Time: 3 minutes

  The majority of my writing is a creative outlet to process sexual assault / trauma resulting from suppressing #Rape within an uninformed non consensual d/s mentoring “dynamic”. The following piece of prose is a fresh visit as new memories surface and the anniversary to “first scent of fear” approaches – please exercise caution with […]

SwirlingFire: Blame, Shame – Defame

melodyinsights #WickedWednesday, Swirlingfire 365Words 8

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Blame, Shame – Defame Hours pass by like a decomposing carcass. Entrails ooze as the stench of death hangs over us. Heat seeking destroyers of those still breathing. Carrion Crows in a city that continues to collapse, Whilst incoming circling vultures pick over the remaining pulsating parts. Overweight bluebottles, all spittle and froth deposit their […]

SwirlingFire: 365 x2

melodyinsights #4Thoughts, #WickedWednesday, Swirlingfire 365Words, DefiningMoments, Selfcare, Silence 13

Reading Time: 3 minutes

365 x2 Two years – no direct contact. I’ve become so attuned to “walking on eggshells” that my regular daily phrasing and pausing before responding has become very measured and calm.  My brain swirls whilst calculating perceived levels of threat. I try to not react to information.  Recently I’ve chosen to mute/unfollow angry, violent, judgemental, […]

Now That Was A Surprise

melodyinsights Confidence, Gender, Passing, Personal 9

Reading Time: 2 minutes

  AI picture filters such as FaceApp were something I didn’t take much notice of until the other day when I saw the transformations of some people I sort of know.  What was intriguing was that you could see the actual person in the different pictures, even with the gender filters.  That gave me the […]

[F4Thought] Holidays

melodyinsights #F4Thought, Discovery, Fantasy, Holiday 22

Reading Time: 5 minutes

Holidays have rarely had any importance to me.  I spent a couple of decades travelling for business and when you do that, the last thing you want to do with time off is spend it in airports and hotels.  A holiday was a day or two spent doing relaxing at home.

I’ve often worn lace, not strictly limited to lingerie.  A collection of dresses, tops, skirts and accessories are featured in my wardrobe.

melodyinsights #F4Thought, Personal 8

Reading Time: 3 minutes

  Dreams, eh ?  They’re something I rarely remember.  I’ll often have the vague memory that I must have dreamed before awakening yet almost never recall what it was.  So it was a bit of a surprise the other week to have a dream I could vividly recall at the time and even now have […]

SwirlingFire: Stair Gazing

melodyinsights #SB4MH, #WickedWednesday, Swirlingfire 13

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Stair Gazing I’ve been thinking about how transient mortality is to other people during LockdownUk CoVid19 pandemic and how the selfish need to be outdoors is at the expense of others. It also made me reflect at finding my father, dead, eyes still open – sat on the bottom few stairs.  I’ve always and, probably […]
