This video means so much to me… Tonight I flipped to a blank page to start writing a new chapter of my life. Although it was bitter sweet I dotted my I’s and crossed my T’s. I spent so much time writing this story trying to force a perfect ending. There were so many smiles, and so many tears though out this chapter. In this chapter I lost myself, I lost my smile, and I lost my dreams. However toward the end of this chapter I found myself, I found the man hidden within the pages behind the woman I pretended to be for so many years… This chapter will be different, this chapter will be great. In this chapter I will show you my smile, because I have found it. I will share my dreams with you and my adventures. A very smart man once said “When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable” (-Walt Disney) and I believe in myself for the first time in a long time
The person on the left was the most unhappy/ unhealthy version of myself. Transitioning into the man I envisioned in my head was the best decision of my life
“Have you ever wanted to save someone from their own darkness so badly that you are willing to set yourself on fire just to light the way? Even if it melts your flesh and cracks your bones, you’d be okay with keeping them warm.”
Today I was rehearsing with the guitarist from the show I’m doing and I was coughing up a lung bc I’m sick and I was just kidding but I told him he needed to bring me a lemon for me to slice up and put in a cup of tea and so I show up to the show tonight to get ready and he sets down a big ass lemon on my dressing room table and then brings out like 5 boxes of Halloween Oreos and for those of you who pay attention to my posts you know what a big fucking deal that is and so long story short I now have a lemon and more Oreos than I know what to do with
I debated doing this for a long time, but eventually came to the conclusion that there’s no shame in asking for help. If you’ve been following for a while, you probably already know that I’m trans myself and have been seeking medical transition. While I can afford HRT alright, and the rate I’m going, I’ll be in my 40s by the time I’m able to afford bottom surgery. I just can’t live like this anymore. It’s a cliche, but I am trapped in the wrong body. I just want to transition and get it out of the way so I can live my life. Even the smallest donation helps. If you can’t afford to donate, please, please, reblog. I can’t even begin to express how much this would mean to me. It really does mean the world.
