This isn’t going to be a pleasant blog. Nor will it carry an overall message of positivity or hope for better mental health. I have no advice. It will instead describe incredible pain, despair, fear, anger, and hopelessness. I will detail my experience in the mental health system and it won’t necessarily be organized, chronological,…

My photographer got a lot of pics but only a few are worthy, because I am not photogenic! When it came to the friendly competition – most tips wins! – I got second place.

In July 2024, I was violently detained and hospitalized for suicide and later, completed an Intensive Outpatient mental health program as the year ended. I remember that during the program, I was quite anxious about the upcoming holidays because I was not living in my house. Every day, I wrote here and in a journal,…

Class has resumed. I had a week of no school so I practiced and focused on singing. I had a private lesson with my choir director, and she helped me run through my two songs for the Divas and Rebels show on the 4th. I sing at that fundraiser, and then on the 8th I…

The fundraiser flyer has been released, and I shared it all over my newly created Instagram as well as my Facebook. I brought in a lot of business to Nyne at the drag show two weeks ago, and I’m hoping to get everyone to come out again. More than before. This fundraiser is a big…

I only have a few precious photos of those years I was really into drag, mainly during college. Back then cameras on phones weren’t as common. All these photos date back to 2010-2012.

Despite school and work, I must sing. After getting in touch with one of the Pride coordinators, I then got in touch with the Spectrum Singers, a local LGBT choir that does performances throughout the year. They don’t have anything till the next season so I have to wait awhile on that. Which is fine,…

In my 20s, while being a broke college student, I did a lot of drag. I had met a drag queen at a show and expressed my own interest in performing. Between music and singing lessons as well as dance, I had a decent background in performing arts. I almost majored in the fine arts,…

I had a good thought for tonight but now I am fragmented; my thoughts are multifactorial. I don’t even know where to start. Most of the time I just dive into work, this keeps me on a path. At Sacred Heart I was recently recognized for my talent at patient care. The patient died but…
