A little secret about me
Something I do when I’m alone is ask my phone what I need to hear and then I hit shuffle on my music and the first song that plays is what I need to know in that moment. Sometimes my phone gets on a good run and everything that follows feels equally as good. So…

Shot day
Today is Friday, the day I give myself a tiny injection of testosterone. I’ve been looking forward to this since Wednesday or so. This was my fifth week injecting myself.

Other times I stick with something until the very bitter end, when I should have given up earlier. I have…

New Year’s Eve/Welcome 2024
It’s almost my year! I still have that feeling that 2024 is my year! 2023 had its ups and downs, but I definitely have felt so much personal growth this year. I was able to enforce boundaries in person with people, and I learned so much about my relationship with my father and how I…

Daily Prompt 12/31/23
Perfect prompt for NYE! I feel nostalgic about the 80s, the 90s, news stories about the MIddle East, toys I grew up with, and shows and movies from my childhood. You know, the things that make everyone feel nostalgic! I feel nostalgic for the times when I thought I could do anything or go anywhere…
