Suiko. Hiroshima, Japan. Graffiti Artist. — Frankie Beane

Suiko is Hiroshima. Japan-based. He discovered graffiti when he went on an exchange program in the final semester of university. The year was 1999. His name means a variation ot things–even according to Suiko himself. As near as I can tell it boils down to: be crazy and do what you want because you can. […]

Goodnightnina

She told me good night. “I love you”.

Closing my eyes I ask the universe to take me away

The day is long and I’d like to go now

Wrapping myself in my clouds

Imagining where I am going

Because every time I go to rest; closing my eyes

I am always sent to a new world

Where my father can walk again and I go cliff diving with him

Or I can paint trains in the serene darkness

The world is mapped out; familiar but not so familiar

Subconscious playgrounds

They are so dark and ominous

Or bright.

Luminous.

Light.

Why Certainly

My name is Nina; the transgender psycho blogger.

Climbed out of bed and to the coffee

Op-tea-mystic,

World at my fingertips and I worry  bout no shit.

In this moment,

Judgements or backfires are simply a sign of my attempting progress

Attempt unleash repressed

Memories;

I’m Psycho yes; you could ask anyone that knows me personally

I can indulge you if you like,

Why certainly…

Jotting my journal away! – Nina

photoedit_1456775248349

Journaling is kind of funny on here because it is very random writing for me. Yet it seems to get more views than other posts.  If you clicked here and don’t know me I’m Nina, I am 27 years old and a happily transgender female living on the west coast of Canada (Lovely Vancity). I tend to blog a lot of art, graffiti, poetry, Buddhism related stuff and ocasionally indulge into my life; its ups and downs or spirals down rabbit holes / or perhaps blasting to the moon.

I’m in a great place at this point in my journey and I am really appreciative of friends family and supporters through my m2f transition that occurred for a large portion of my life.  So if you’re reading this, thank you. Also helping to smooth over my recovery from substance abuse and dealing with bipolar and shit that comes along with it, particularly my girlfriend, I love you hun. Thank you.

When I say I am happily trans its because I don’t carry any burdens along with me. I don’t dwell on if I could’ve been born a woman or transitioned sooner. Maybe everything happens at a certain time for a certain reason; I am not really sure, but in this moment it feels right; and I know I am in the right place. And with this: Hoping my life can reach out a hand a little bit; letting people know with growth comes healing.

The studies and posts I do regarding Buddhism, Zen and Tao are important in a large sense and perhaps I should not be the one wording the dharma or explaining it but… I will say that I have grown as a person because of it and it has taken me on journeys I did not think possible. It has also helped with my creativity, focus and recovery from abuse. So I try my best to share that. Untainted.

I have been spending a lot of time with my lover and it’s been wonderful. And although I have relapsed and I have had anxiety and I have been psychotic…

I’m doing good. I am still working on it  and “keep it movin'”.   Always!—- forward.

Today I am just chillin’ at home and watching time slowly pass by. Drawing and reading and  I’m happily typing away and wishing all of you the best wherever you want to go.

Stay beautiful, stay strong.

Peace

Nina
