One year ago I made a bet with myself. I bet that I wouldn’t have the muster to keep this blog going for a year.
The initial intent for the blog was to relate my experiences as a neutrois (and rather charming) person. It was precipitously started because of my impending top surgery, and my desire to document it. I’ve done that, and much much more. Despite a mild hiatus (ie, bout of laziness), and to my own astonishment, I have managed to keep this going for one whole entire year.
To commemorate, here’s a taste of what was yet to come – my first post.
I have since gone on to write such masterpieces as:
- a metaphor for what Neutrois means to me
- another metaphor on passing as something you’re not
- a dissection of the intersections of my neighborhood
- exhausting but not exhaustive LGBTQ book reviews and lists
- as well as, well… the rest of the 90 entries on my blog
All carefully infused with biting sarcasm, sardonic cynism, and just a pinch of positivism (though I will never admit to that one).
As I’ve been re-reading what my past self wrote, I’m often surprised by either how insightful, courageous, naive, and round-about I am. But I have discovered morsels of wisdom spread throughout that I didn’t even realize were there before. So, browse around, explore, and even if you’ve been there before, you might find something new.
Thanks for sticking with me!
Best wishes for the next year!
Thanks for opening yourself up through his blog 🙂 Its incredibly inspirational.
Congratulations on a year of blogging!
🙂 It’s been a great experience reading this blog and I hope it continues to be something that you enjoy writing. Congratulations on a whole year!
Congrats on the bloggaversary! It’s crazy to think it’s been a whole year, isn’t it? So much has changed, I feel, although maybe this is just in my own experiences. Either way, congrats, and I’m looking forward to some more Neutrois Nonsense awesomeness!
I can tell you right now that there are some exciting changes in store for this year, and I already have quite the collection of drafts.
As always I really appreciate your comments, even if it’s just to say hi.
congrats! thanks for all the inspirational, informative, friendly posts!
And thank you all for your inspirational and friendly comments!
Then I will just say Hi. You introduced me to the concept of neutrois, and I am grateful.
And thanks for reading, and learning. I love it when people go out of their comfort zones to understand others.
i started at the beginning two days ago and am now here and can’t wait to see what the future (but what is actually now your past) holds. i really enjoy your voice. i feel like i’m getting a very compassionate education, one that’s squiggly (not linear, but yet it is) and funny and sweet. I’ve had some “damn it, just get it already” going on in my life as of late, so this is refreshing and much more helpful!
