At some point, I got curious.
Curious about what existed beyond the only neighborhood I'd ever known.
So I left. Went to Kansas for college. Saw something different.
Learned something about myself in contrast.
And then I came back to the work.

I grew up in South Phoenix.
If you know, you know.
If you don't — it's a place that makes you. Shapes how you see the world, how you move through it, and what you feel responsible for.
Some places don't just raise you. They mark you.

When kids and teens face tough emotions, having a safer space to talk can make all the difference. Therapy isn’t just for crises—it’s a place to be heard, understood, and supported as they navigate growing up.

Behind The Hatred: The Trans Girl With the Thorn in Her Side How hatred affected me — Dennis Rodman, Morrissey and myself

Years later, I would even dream of life escaping my body, of everything finally being over without my own hands being involved. But long before I hated myself, I hated everyone else first.

It was a great time to be alive & come of age. A mixing of two worlds, the old and the new. Very grateful for everyone, and everything who helped shape & mold me into the man I am today 🙏🏾 #90s #throwback #iris #growingup #highschool

Some of y'all got disciplined. Some of y'all got mildly inconvenienced. There is a difference.

The versions of me I had to disappoint On grieving old identities, letting imagined futures go, and becoming someone more honest than impressive

Not every disappointment is a theft.

Adult in Progress: A Year Without Objects, Circa 2005

Is home where you choose the spoons?

Notes from the year I thought I was grown, then wanted to be grown differently.

16) Junior High The author reflects on their challenging experience in junior high, marked by a lack of family support and feelings of isolation. As their family became distant, the author faced bullying and ridicule at school. Despite moments of achievement, like performing in a musical, they struggled to find acceptance and belonging among peers.

I matriculated up to junior high and everything slowly fell apart.

Still Here | Substack The missed hug is real. The exhaustion is real. The loneliness is real. I write for the ones carrying all of it, quietly, and still standing. Click to read Still Here, a Substack publication. Launched...

If you could rewrite one part of your childhood, what would it be? Funny how the moments we wish we could erase are often the ones that shaped the best parts of us.

الحَمدُ للَّه الذِي صَرَف عنَّا السُوء وما كُنَّا لِنعلَمَه لولا أن بيَّنه اللَّه لنَا ..
‏الحمد لله على خطوات لم تكتمل ولو اكتملت لكانت شراً كبيراً،
الحمد لله الذي ابعدنا عن دروب لا تليق بنا و صرف عنا شر السوء و الأشخاص و المواقف ..

Decided to write another thing about #surfing and what it means to my life. Also, the header photo is of me surfing. Whenever I try to add Alt text to my images in Write.As, I have problems (I'll put it in a reply).

In my youth, I cheered for Batman. Now that I’m older, I understand the Joker.
