Just got home from one of the best rides I think I have ever
had. At least mentally. Had some great epiphanies and realizations.
I have lots of random streams of consciousness before but
today was next level.
I sweat. A lot.
I ride pretty slow but I love it nonetheless.
I have a t shirt from @hbstache that says ‘Sometimes I ride
to remember, Sometimes I ride to
forget’. Couldn’t have been more appropriate for today.
I have disliked myself more than I have liked myself.
Trying to not be who you were meant to be is exhausting and
painful.
I love my best friend of 36 yrs more than she will probably
ever realize.
Reconciling my mind and my body has been excruciating. But
it is happening, finally.
My brother uses the analogy of your life span being the
length of a yardstick. I am running out
of inches and I don’t want to waste them.
Twitter is my safe space.
What I say there is me. Usually the raw me. The vulnerable, scared,
open me.
I cry. I am scared. I
am strong. I persist.
Trying to come to grips with my ex partner dying sooner than
later.
Nature is beautiful.
I love dogs so much.
True love is elusive. But I will be damned if I don’t find
it.
Being gay is still hard.
I used to hate being ‘sir-ed’ on a daily basis. Yeah, so?
Dating sites suck – until you read that one profile that
somehow resonates with you. In a good way. And thanks to that
profile, I have learned more about myself than ever. Sounds a little odd, but I
only ever speak truth. Maybe it is more that I was ready to understand what I
was reading. Open to it. Could ‘hear’ it.
Speaking of truth – sometimes it is cold and painful, but
wouldn’t have it any other way.
I am not much to look at but I am a good human whether you see it
or not. I know it.
I am ready.
