I’m still figuring out what I want this personal blog to be. I’ve been focusing more on fitness and family issues, so I haven’t been writing enough—or at all—for both this blog and my own projects. I’m struggling to write out a novel I’ve outlined, but it has difficult to sit down and write with everything going on.
I’m recently came out as trans to my family and friends. I’m not sure if I want to include that part of my life on this blog—I’m not an expert on the topic by any means. That said, I have been questioning whether I should use my voice to help the trans community, especially trans youth. Please vote No on any anti-trans bills and donate to charities that help trans youth and trans folks of color.
Here are a few:

Looking to the future, I want to focus on various topics, including but not limited to:
Travel
Pop culture
Writing—academic, nonfiction, and fiction
Overall, I want this blog to be fun and creative for myself and my readers. I’ve noticed a ton of traffic to my academic writing, so if you find those projects useful be sure to cite your sources. I list my sources below the piece for people to go to the original whenever possible. Check out my Twitter feed, although I rarely post. It’s the easiest way to get hold of me.
Please stay tuned and be safe.
