Random thoughts of a transwoman,
I’m deep-cleaning my digital presence this morning, and it’s been a total blast from the past. I just went through 2,600 blogs I’ve been following since 2012. Looking back at twelve years of data, I realized that three major passions have been the "North Stars" of my life since the very beginning:
My Identity: Looking at my first post asking, "Am I trans?".......... well, twelve years later, I have boobs now, so I think we can check that "yes" box!
Visual Art: A constant stream of photography, nature, and art.
Writing: Going through old journal entries was a trip. Some of it was pure cringe, but mostly I just realized that past-Lexi really needed a hug.
I’ve pruned my feed down to 1,300 blogs, and for the first time, my dashboard actually reflects who I am now, not the "gross" or "unregulated" parts of my past. The more areas of my life I clean up, the more it feels like I can finally breathe.
Between cleaning up Pinterest and getting ready for a 3rd round interview (fingers crossed!), I’m feeling the urge to keep this momentum going. I’m ready to physically let go of the things I don't need anymore. No more masking, no more holding onto clutter, just making space for the simple, consistent life I’m building. Honestly, my experience is my experience; I don't need you to understand. Please respect my existence, and I know I have some shortcomings there myself, but I need to set my boundaries more firmly.
Off to get coffee.
