Do you ever stop to just look around and marvel at the people around you and wonder how they accomplish so much in a day? I am not just talking about the extraordinary accomplishments of humanity either. It’s the seemingly mundane tasks of daily life which leave me most impressed. Those which in a past…

Another night, another blog written in the dark embrace of my bedroom. My heated blanket hugging me. The sweet tunes from this playlist labeled “acoustic doze-off” have me energized. My mind is racing, my legs are bouncing to the rhythm once more.

It’s just another rainy night in Seattle as I sit here on the bed with my headphones and iPad wrapped in some of my favorite blankets. The music has my legs bouncing up and down, while my partner lays beside me sleeping soundly.

I have spent a year trying to figure out how to write about this topic. The topic of my bottom surgery and the effects it had on my state of being. It’s difficult to describe, it’s more than I thought it would be. Prior to the procedure, the only somewhat comparable experience I had to…

What’s it like to be trans? How do you know? That seems a rare sense of self-awareness at such a young age, don’t you think?

This is something I wrote long ago but never published as it was quite dark. It was something I needed to work through on my own prior to sharing it publicly. Maybe I am broken… I feel deeply for others in their suffering, I support them in their protests, and cheer them on in their…

As I am steadily marching towards the next major milestone of my transition I can’t help but sit here wondering what drives me to pursue this procedure? Why do I want this? What are my expectations of going through with this? As those of you closest to me already know, I have decided to have…
