About me; An update from a lost blogger

Maybe nobody on here knows who I am anymore… I am a trans girl, 38 years old living in Vancouver BC… I have worked many jobs and graduated college but I am on disability. To be brutally honest the last 10 years of my life; work was sex work. Some say its the oldest job around. Others might say I’m a whore.

I started this blog many years ago when I found myself living in the Yukon Homeless Shelter here in Vancouver. I had imagined I would be spending a lot longer homeless but thanks to friends and MPA society I landed myself a very nice suite in a neighborhood I had dreamed of. I started this blog thinking maybe I am documenting life on the streets. But it didnt turn out that way. And honestly this is so much more for me. It is such a blessing.

Now I am living under a housing program with MPA society. I have to give MPA society all of their flowers because of the crucial role they had in getting me housing. Not only getting me housing but because of their help, I was able to get sober. I am an addict. But I am 4 years clean.

Nowadays I spend a lot of time inside. Although I have a great life. Although I am clean. Mental illness, addiction and trauma have taken its toll and agoraphobia has a substantial impact on how often I am running around the city. Which is not as much as I used to, not by far. However I do get out. Just not as much. And I do live a very joyous life.

I have indulged in many forms of art that I like to pursue on all my platforms, poetry, music, art, graffiti, photography and video. Modeling? Haha. I love wordpress so much; it is a beautiful place.

Maybe I’ll leave it at that for now. A little of who I am and where I am coming from.

Tata!

Real?

In this winding net we weave and still believe in

Fact or fiction. What is this vision called reality?

My dreams sometimes seem far more tangible

So which existence is it we really live in or which ones a vision?

Perhaps neither are alive or… what we deem is our survival

Too much mandela effect here and deja vu

Psychedelics leave us more clues

They say seeing speaks reality into existence

I see eyes in all directions when I’m trippin

As the matrix watches I walk through that particular realm

How many are there? Honestly which one is real?

The World We Dwell

We live and dwell draped in a veil

Blinded and wondering where does the truth lie

Distraction tactics on the masses pushing plastic from the jurassic

The world is going up in smoke; we better have a classic coke

A sad joke

And jokes aside what comes to mind

Is what the world needs to entail

Coming together and peace prevail

Common sense! Dear rulers; no more bombs descent

No more small arms for men

First world, third world theres no difference

All individuals deserve a decent world to live

But I’ll say again, we are veiled and distracted

Sheeps masked and maybe I was designed to be tasked with this

Who knows, but I need to find a loop hole; to move

Growth

Finding Peace

I could try to type to light a fire with words

But I try to write to make it right ; Flight like birds

Touch the skyline of the city with compassion

Guanyin tactics needed to drastically manage this planet

Whether your Christian Muslim or Catholic

Peace be upon you… in other words you could say salaam too…

Regardless we can all praise the jewel in the lotus

With mindful focus

Its the peace we need to find

You know this

Freedom found

Freedom at the tips of my finger; I write on whim

I just write, write a bit till its done, its fin

Days can be strange but I find peace in all

Freedom in all; Even inside of these walls

Freedom in the traffic in the concrete jungle

On the bus or on my bike I am moving undone now

Undone is the release peace of mind I can find

At any place, at any day, at anytime

Today is the day

With so much drama in the world today; find time to play

Breathe in the ocean and trees when its needed please just

Don’t let it get to you; you are wonderful / indredible

We can all put our best food forward towards a better future

Where everything grows naturally happily

I want to put these puzzle pieces together clever

A world peace endevour

Can we all please get along now its been so long now

So its its time to put the bombs down

Deweaponize and calm now

Do we really need to harm this earth? I think not is the plot

Thats why I choose to jot

Mother earth doesnt ask for much I wish not to take

Today we give back.

Today is the day.
