I write about everyday things here. Mostly to keep track of what happens in my life so I can look back at this all and cringe. I mean, so I can reminisce with nostalgia, and my egg sandwich.
Today, I cried and cried from pain relief. Just north of DC I had an experience with a Neuromuscular therapist who was recommended to me. He did some Myofascial Release therapy and dry needling.
Dry needling, or, Trigger point needling is when someone sticks an accupuncture needle directly into a …
Something I appreciate from everyone I talk to about local support groups for transgender people is how important they are to finding a social circle. The support is nice, but having a place for us all to go so we can meet is invaluable.
Tonight I went to a support …
Today was weird and hard. Playing in an open space is so different than the comfort of Vanessa. This wide open park with plenty of people walking through, but very few walking by.
I played quietly for fear of disturbance. I felt my technical classical pieces were too high class …
After leaving my grandmother I stopped at the Susquehanna River for the sunset. Here I went exploring a bit, played my violin and chatted with a couple people.
One was a mid twenties man studying for a nursing program who enjoyed my music and started a chat. From Iraq originally …
I am lucky. Very luck I feel. The beginning of my trip has had me visting three different types of extended family. Aunt/Uncle, Cousin and Grandmother. They are all very kind towards me and don't care one bit about my transition.
I remember growing up feeling afraid of all …
I went to see trains with my grandmother! What a cool place. I do wish I had much more time to go over everything as I am learning I really like to soak in this stuff.
I feel pretty good about my first visit. I very quickly purged technology from my mind and focused on the person I was with. We went out for a short hike at the Deleware Water Gap, ate ice cream and watched a tv show, and spent time at the library …
I am so lucky. To have so many people in my life still willing to catch up with me even after I've transitioned. This friend goes back to 2010 when I was in my darkest. Working with the greatest team of people I ever worked with while I couldn't truly …
Walking back to Vanessa from the liquor store, someone with a deep voice said something from behind. I look back. A black man with facial hair, thin, six feet tall with a hoody and a bag from the same liquor store was a few feet away from me.
Huh?
You …
I love people. Today I got to spend time with a new person who has captured my attention for a while. I really enjoy now, how I am able to differentiate between people who I am interested in, versus those who I tolerate.
We got together to walk an arboretum …
I have been in Massachusetts for a very long time. In this post I think I'll recap as much as I can before I get tired of writing.
I originally came back in January to deal with some medical stuff. That switfly turned into a total overall of my year …
The house sale is over. I am done. Hasn't fully set in, but I am very happy to get back to my own life.
