No real post for today, ladies and gents. Today, I embark on new and exciting adventures. One in film editing. I'm going to test my hand at YouTube videos that closely align to my blog. I considered making another facebook profile, one for a public figure or something...but have decided against that. I will, instead, allow followers on my personal page. Anything that's public, they can see. So...it's kinda like the people I have blocked so I'm not too worried about it.
I'm nervous, excited, tired and weary. This is not something I do well. Change, being in front of the camera, taking on responsibility. But it occurred to me through a dream this weekend: I want to do something big. And I've always known that, but I'm garnering the courage to at least try. The hope that I have for all of this is to someday be a person of stature who can bring awareness and education to trans* issues because I don't want there to be a definition or label. I'm as much of a man as my brothers are. The only difference is I don't have the physical makeup they do. But I'm still a man, I'm still a person.
I had a very nice conversation/debate earlier this week about the labels that society places on people and the varying opinions that are out there and it just further fueled a fire that has been inside me since I was in high school. I hope that my blog and YouTube channel will be places of sanctuary and resources that people feel they can use for whatever positive growth they need. Encouragement, friendship, education, advice...things that I had to discover on my own and wait until my mid-20s to really have from society.
I'm hoping you all go on this journey with me. I'm aware that "you all" is a very small number, but maybe someday in the not-so-distant future, that number of 3 or 4 will expand to 20 or 30 and continue to grow. Here's to the future we all deserve.
