I Must Do for Myself.

Transitioning is a journey. A journey that is understood by few and judged by many. Sometimes we must face this journey alone but sometimes there are a few people in your corner that we turn to when the going gets tough. If I have learned anything in my life is that we can’t always depend on people and we must look inside ourselves for the strength and support that we need. Everybody has a struggle, but my struggle will one day change lives and teach lesson.

Lesson of the Day : We can’t always lean on somebody, gotta handle our own baggage kids.

Surgery Time!

Fri, 06 Apr 2012 20:35:00 -0400

So two days ago I had my surgery consult.
May 11th, I will be reborn, Feel finally comfortable in my own skin, I will look like the man I know I am on the inside.
But anyways….It was the best 45 minutes of my life, My surgeon is a great guy who has done top surgery dozens and dozens of times. He made my life changing surgery seem like a piece of freakin’ cake!
I have been waiting for this for years and I will finally have my dreams come true.
I never thought that I would feel this happy before…I wake up every morning and look down and think “one more month and you’ll be gone”. After May 11th I can do everything I have wanted to do.

I can : Run on the beach, go swimming, jump on a trampoline and just be myself.
A more comfortable and confident version of Donovan.
Lets say…Donni 2.0
I thought it would never happen and I’d stay trapped in my shell of misery and worry and sadness.
I will be reborn and that is because I never let the cruel words and discouraging actions get to my soul and I never gave up.
Everybody can be the person that they want to be.
They can live and achieve their dreams.

It sounds like rainbows and smiles coming out of my ass, but it happens to be true

Basically today’s lesson is: Never give up, Dream big and the universe will unfold as it should

Everybody can be who they wanna be, If I did it…anybody can.

Wassup guys?
I’m Donni and please let me enrich your minds with a little background info of your average guy with a huge problem. He was born in the wrong body. That fateful day of June 7th 1991 was when the doctors told my parents that they had a healthy baby girl. Fast-foward 14 years!!
I was 14 when I first heard about somebody who was Transgender.
It took me 2 years to cope with the fact that my birth was a mistake. The fact that I was “Fucked Up” was a lot for a high school sophomore to deal with. Of course my big switch from a depressed, suicidal mess to the happy go lucky guy that you see before you didn’t happen overnight.
Even after coming out to everyone. It took so long for me to be okay with the fact that I was different. I mean I was so afraid of the backlash that people who feel toward me.
Rightfully so.
I have been threatened, shoved, kicked, spit on and discriminated against for something I couldn’t control.
I felt powerless, weak and ashamed.
I was just about to give up on life.
I sat in my bathroom, crying, sobbing, just thinking of ways to end my pain. But suddenly I had a realization.
“Fuck the rest, Just do your best”. From that day on, I woke up with a burning desire to live. I was a happy, carefree guy.
Now with my Top Surgery coming up I feel like its important to still remember my journey.
I also think its important to kill the ignorance with some old fashion education.
Well, that’s my fairy tale story life in a nutshell.

Today’s Lesson : Don’t let the bastards bring you down.
