Getting By With a Little Help From My Friends
Even though I haven’t always realized it, community has played a huge role in my life. I grew up in a stereotypical small town—exactly the kind you hear about in country music songs. Everybody knew everybody. The kids you graduated with were the same kids you played with at recess in kindergarten, and it was […]

(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Be Anxiety Free)

It’s not ISIS, and it’s not your parents having sex. It is called “expectations.” Everyone has them. […]

Dreams of Transgender Education Through Film
At the beginning of each new year it is custom to create a list of resolutions or goals for the upcoming year. Last year my best friend and I drove across the country from South Florida to Los Angeles. Of course there were dreams I was hoping to fulfill once in California. Dreams of renting […]

Boundaries to Pain
Do you know why people hug when they are in pain? To place a boundary on the suffering. To draw a line where the pain can extend to. Without such a line, one’s agony will push out and is inherently less controllable. I have only experienced this type of embrace once in my life. As a high […]
