The most common question people ask you while you are in elementary and middle school.
Now, the common question they ask me during high school is: what college are you gonna go to? What are you gonna study? What career are you thinking about? What are you gonna do after high school? ect. ect.
i hate answering them because i know that they will ask me over and over again.
Progress is growth and development. Everyone is on the clock, time never stops, and daily each person faces challenges that force them to make a decision. You can take on your challenges, overcome the obstacles, and grow from the experience. Or you can hide from your challenges, give excuses, and deteriorate from the experience.
Religion and spirituality have always been large interests of mine. I've always felt something... divine around me and in my life. I've never belonged to any one particular religion although I've read about many and have (almost) always looked upon different sorts of religions with a great deal of curiosity and respect.

When I came into this world 35 years ago, I was born with a birth defect that altered the course of my life and several times, very nearly ended it. I was a man born with a female body.

I was taking a bath and considering the people i know and admire. I considered everybody from rap legends, country music legends, my parents, investors, to politicians and t.v hosts. I came to realize that the greatest of them have the most open minds.
So I have been saying for the past month or so that I've learned more about myself in that group of weeks than most of my life, but I haven't really taken anytime to organize my thoughts and extrapolate. This is a list of everything important and not so important that I have learned since I moved to a new place.
the list:
