Up Early

By Joe

Today, it wasn’t Isabella that got me out of bed early. It was me, or at least my body and mind. I woke at 3:30 am to use the bathroom and went back to bed. That’s where the body comes in. However, I could not fall asleep again. This is where my mind kept me awake. It wasn’t anything specific that was running through my mind, but I just couldn’t make my brain settle down and go back to sleep. After lying in bed for 20 or so more minutes, I just gave up and got out of bed to feed Isabella and make something for breakfast. I suspect this will be a long day.

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. View all posts by Joe
