It’s been quite a roller coaster week. I’m just glad Friday is here and I have the day off. Tonight I’m going out to dinner with a friend and possibly a drag show. I didn’t sleep well Wednesday night, and I’m going to take today to recover and tonight to try and get my mind off things that have been weighing on me.
I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's.
My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces.
