I saw the above headline on a sign in a store last week. So true.The only time in my life I can remember being happy about getting older is when they announced the COVID-19 vaccines would be distributed by age.I always thought to myself, ”if I get run over by a truck tomorrow, I will die happy. I’ve done everything I dreamed of doing.”Well, recently I have thought of a few more things I want to do!After a couple of frantic weeks on the computer trying to get a vaccine appointment, I finally received both of my shots.I felt such a sense of relief and absolute joy. I was free — no more fear of dying alone in the hospital. My friends and I were really cautious through the past year. We tested frequently, but we did not lock ourselves down. We always wore our masks. Now we are free to roam the world.Life is slowly coming back to normal. Events are scheduled.Sister Cities International OKC will be celebrating Cinco de Mayo with representatives of Puebla, Mexico. The party is on May 3 and open to the public.

Image: Everyone's Invited - testimonies uploaded to the site have prompted multiple police reports of abuse More than 14,000 allegations have now been made by school pupils on the website, which is gathering testimonies of sexual violence and abuse."Consent needs to be talked about from very young age," says Dandy. "Pornography needs to be talked about from a very young age. "It's not inappropriate to talk to a 10-year-old about sex, it's inappropriate for a 10-year-old to be watching fake sex online and thinking that that's what's normal. "That's the bad part. It shouldn't be uncomfortable to have this conversation.""I was sexually assaulted, for the first time at 11 ,12, 13…
