30 years ago, I was resting in a hospital crib. I was three hours old and I imagine that I wa still rather blue tinted and wrinkly.
I was expected to be born on New Year's Eve, but something happened and I decided that November 30 was a day good as any to be born. Thanks to the emergency c-section I now have a very easily identifiable feature - a small white scar on my left ear. By now, it's about one centimeter long and half a millimeter thick.
My life has not been easy. I've faced hard ships in the shape of bullying, abusive boyfriends, mental problems, loneliness, and financial difficulties. And yet, I am happy for the life I've had so far. I have been blessed with amazing family, both biological and chosen, brilliant friends, and breath taking experiences. During my 30 years in this body, I've traveled to three continents and 14 countries. I have friends I can't live without all over th world. I have a husband who supports my dreams and my development. During the past 16 years, I've gone from a frightened, suicidal little girl to a strong, independent woman who believes in her ability to achieve her dreams.
I have learned so much the past decade alone that I could fill days upon days worth of blog posts with just mind dumps and factual tidbits.
I am a science geek, a history nerd, a SciFi addict. I read fantasy and fantastical stories like I need them to breathe. I binge watch Dr Who, Gotham, and Agents of Shield. I also watch Niel Degrasse Tyson, BBC documentaries, and MIT Open Courseware because I think it's fun.
I am a femnist, an LGBTQIA+ ally, and a human rights advocate. I am asexual, heteronorm non-conforming, and I have a tendency to space out.
I am me. I am the best at being me. The most important lesson I have learned during my 30 years in this life is that no one can be me better than I can, and therefore I am the only one who can make decisions for my well being.
DFTBA
