Welcome to my new blog! Unlike other blogs I have started, this one is going to be a bit more like a personal life journal. My hope is not only that you enjoy what I have to share from my life, but that you gain some insight into things you may not have otherwise considered.

Some of the things I’ll be blogging about are my life as a disabled transgender person, a friend and advocate of LGBTQ+ persons who are incarcerated, personal growth lessons, and my journey to rebuilding stability in my life.

My Starting Point

As of now, I’m currently living in a nursing home. My disabilities are such that I need help with a lot of daily things most take for granted. The intention is to get rehabilitated enough to live on my own again, but with the pandemic taking it’s toll on everyone and everything, I’m having to do my own thing in order to minimise the worsening of my debilitating conditions.

I have no real income. Loved ones and help me out with covering most of my basic expenses, but I’m still dependant on earning what I can here and there. Back when most people in the US received stimulus checks, I used some of that money to open up a Roth IRA and two trading cash accounts. I’ll go more into this in another blog post.

Romantically, I’m not involved with anyone and I’m not looking. Since becoming disabled a little over four and a half years ago, I’ve fallen prey to one abusive situation after another. My goal is to take this time to work on myself so I’m better equipped mentally and emotionally, have control of my own housing and finances, and reclaim things I wasn’t able to enjoy when I was in those horrible situations.

Spiritually, I’m struggling. The pandemic precautions keep people from gathering in order to help control the spread. I’m sure most people who need a spiritual avenue are strained. Online resources are only as helpful to me as I can access them, which is another obstacle I’m not always able to work around or bust through.
