Going to New York City next Friday!
My college is doing a day trip and yesterday was the cut off. I had cash in my pocket so I figured why not. I’m pretty excited. This will be my first time in NY that I can do whatever the fuck I want. I definitely would like to hit up some bars and maybe do some shopping.
That awkward moment when you realize that you’re going to be 23 this August.
I’m old.
Blah. Just doing some laundry and cleaning up a little. My room looks a lot better.
If you look close, you can see the pup and kitty in this pic.
My face tells you exactly how excited I am.
Hanging out with some cool cats later on tonight.
We were supposed to have a cookout but today’s weather is blah.
1) When did you realize the term transgender referred to you?
Well I started watching YouTube videos from trans* guys maybe like a couple of years ago. And the more I saw what they were going through the more I could relate. Eventually something just clicked in my head. I think I officially came out at school like maybe two terms ago ish. Other people knew before that. I don’t think there was a single defining moment when I realized, it took a lot of things to convince myself. I was definitely older though when I realized, like as in the past year or two. I think it’s really awesome that there are children who can tell at such a young age that they’re trans*.
I think that’s all I really have to say. I’ll try and make the rest of the posts a little more exciting. Maybe I’ll start including pictures. We’ll see.
Alright, ladies and gents,
Time for another 30 Day Challenge. I can’t promise I’ll keep up with it but I will try, even if it means queuing stuff to post on the day it’s supposed to.
