I’m just 1 person scraping by with my minimum daily workouts. I had a busy week (and next week proves to be even more difficult) so I just barely met my minimum goal of at least 20 minutes of a workout each day. I’m still proud that I reached my goal, even as the total…

Coming Out as Single
I’m just 1 person who does a lot of coming out. In today’s society, it isn’t just those in the LGBTQ+ community who find themselves in the position of deciding whether to come out or not. When we meet new people, those people make certain assumptions about us partly based on context and partly based…

Week of Workouts
I’m just 1 person trying to take care of my body and mind. I’m definitely going to need to focus hard on next month’s sleep challenge, because I know I’m not getting enough of that. I am getting outside a little more, however. And I started some new meds which, so far, aren’t causing drastic…

I’m just 1 person who read a lot of LGBTQ+ books by people of color during Pride Month in 2020.

I’m just 1 person who read a lot of LGBTQ+ books during Pride Month in 2019. Honestly, I read a lot of LGBTQ+ books throughout the year, but I decided it would be fun to see how many I could get through in just a month. Pride Month was the perfect excuse for me to…
Week of Workouts
I’m just 1 person working out even when it’s hot. I lost my air conditioning this past weekend, which means I had to move my workouts downstairs where it’s slightly livable. My basement isn’t really the best place for me to work out, given the flooring and space. So I’ve chosen a lot more standing…
3 Free Documentaries to Watch for Pride Month
I’m just 1 person who doesn’t usually watch a lot of documentaries. Unlike my sister, I prefer fiction to nonfiction when it comes to movies, shows, and books. But I recently watched some short, quality LGBTQ+ documentaries I wanted to recommend you check out during Pride month. The best part is that all three of…
Why Are There So Many Different Pride Flags?
I’m just 1 person who loves how many different pride flags exist. Most everyone is familiar with the rainbow pride flag, which serves as a central symbol for the LGBTQ+ community. But there are dozens more representing different genders, sexualities, and subcommunities. There have also been a number of different versions of the rainbow flag…
Week of Workouts
I’m just 1 person working out in the evenings again. I’m trying out a new block schedule for myself, to see if it works better for me. That means shifting my normal workout time from just before lunch to the evening or even the night before bed. My day in general seems to be going…

My Journey with Pride
I’m just 1 person on a constantly evolving journey toward pride. I could fill a book with the search for myself, though by the time I finished the book, I likely would have discovered new things about myself I would want to include. My understanding of my gender and sexuality grows as more terms are…
