Who am I?

So I’m not going to tell you who I am. I know why would I name the post that if I wasn’t going to answer the question. Well, because what else do you call a first blog post besides, first blog post?  No seriously, I’m asking.  This an example of my rigidness.  I am rarely creative, and I’m literal to a fault.  I’m not a fan of metaphors unless I make them up myself. So yes I am a hypocrite. For the past three years I have been out as gay and I am female so I guess lesbian fits. But I can’t with the noun.  I’m gay and I’m a lesbian seem drastically different. I guess the difference between saying I’m progressive and I’m a democrat. One just seems to be less of a thing. Anyway, I’m rambling. 

So why am I writing this, as a self proclaimed concrete thinker, why would I wind up on tumblr of all places writing my feelings? Well, because I have trouble finding people like me, though I’m not going to lie it’s mostly because I don’t know how.  What do you search on google? Stubborn, rigid, science, and data oriented gay blogs.  I’ve found some.  Lesbian’s who Tech, Out in Stem are both amazing orgs, but aren’t always super feelings focused. That’s right, even though I can’t comprehend them I do have feelings! A ton! Like all of the time! I just don’t know how to communicate them, describe them, think about them, or deal with them.  But that is what therapy is for (and maybe blogging). So those tech orgs are great, but they often are filled with people who come at things the same why I do. And where’s the growth in that. I’m an engineer and am surrounded by people who think like me. But I want to learn more and try something new so here goes. 

Oh the last piece, I think I need to share, is that I’m gonna be talking a lot about faith and Christianity. Probably sharing other people’s posts. But I’m mostly just going to be writing a lot about my struggle and confusion. Not so much about closely reading scripture and drawing conclusions.  I was raised United Methodist and loved it growing up. After coming out I self selected to not even risk being hurt, and left church all together.  No one did anything! Honestly, my home church is super affirming (meaning they like all LGBTQIA+ people and will marry them and will let them lead worships and sunday school basically they treat them like they treat everyone). And honestly even before it was allowed, may have even broken the rules.  But I did not want to ask that of them (even though I was no where close to marriage) and honestly I was in college. I didn’t want to go back home every Sunday. And finding a new church sucks.  It’s the worst. It’s awkward and scary. And I’m GAY! Like butch, dykey, queer, queer, queer.  There is no missing it if you are into pop culture at all. 

So, in summary I’m a gay, Christian, engineer, with minimal ability to understand the abstract who wants to talk about feelings and metaphors and God and try to figure some stuff out.
