going down?
iterating on yesterday’s fun wordplay, here’s the inverse! i’m actually really enjoying writing in this style. it causes me to think of words as a form of art in addition to its meaning. here’s: going down? (d)on’t fret,(e)levators exist.(s)tairs if you’re willing.(c)arefully into the unknown,(e)ndeavor what isn’t understood.(n)othing stands in the way of knowledge.(d)escend beneath
the climb
i took yesterday off as a much needed refresh. besides, i’m the one who is pushing myself to do this, it only makes sense that i treat myself with kindness and love. thank you to my friend Jake who inspired me to write this one after loaning me his copy of “selected poems” by ee
mother
i’m incredibly fortunate to have such wonderful and supportive parents. my mom is my rock and i can feel myself becoming more like her. not necessarily externally, but the way she carries herself is an inspiration to me, so i could only be so lucky. here’s mother: selfless as a teacherconfident as a coachalways in
underneath the moon
things have a funny way of falling together. sometimes when you’re looking at the moon, she looks right back. the real question is, what does she see? here’s underneath the moon: gaze at the stars beneath the moonsee how she trembles as the paths intersect back and forth the lines connectshaping into you two shinealign

harmony
i wasn’t feeling that incredible today. yesterday’s birthday party events left me feeling drained both physically and emotionally. i don’t think i like golf at all (sorry dad). i took Luna on a walk up to the park in the foothills and we just sat for a while and stayed present. here’s harmony: the air
bliss
today i just sat in front of the mirror and thought about my progress so far and what it means to me. being trans is so hard, but so rewarding. i get to live life from two totally different perspectives. here’s bliss: moonlight bath with fallen starsgaze defiant guarded heartstrusting bodies, merging mindsaccursed ghosts are
what if i’m not
today is trans visibility day, and my very first post on the site. i wrote this from a place of angry understanding. a place where i understand that people are inherently good, but they do not strive to understand feelings that are complex and unfamiliar. here’s what if i’m not: am i me if i’m
