This is the first summer I get to wear whatever I want to the beach 🏖🌊 I decided to be a low cut lemon boy 🍋💙

Go me! Keep on dancin’ you superb funky little man!! ✨

This is me. . I was a teenage boy back in 2007, graduating high school about to go off to college. And today, I am a (nearly) 30 year old man. . I am a man. . It’s taken me a long time to call myself a “man” and feel that that is true. I would otherwise say, “I’m a guy” or “I’m a boy”. When society is often telling us that we are not who we say we are and what a man is supposed to be and look like - when we are not fully confident in ourselves, we may tend to believe those voices. . They also say if we speak highly of ourselves, that we are arrogant. So we fear doing so - and in turn talk down about and to ourselves instead. I’m here to help rewrite this story. I’m here to be my very best friend and biggest cheerleader. To encourage and lift myself up. To stand strong in who I am. To speak to myself the way I would with any other. To speak love into my heart, lungs, and veins - into every ounce of my being. . A week from today, I am going to be 30 years bold, and I’m here to tell you, I am a man. I am a proud Transgender man. Beautifully complex, sensitive and strong - and perfectly imperfect - I am human. . Standing tall at 5’1”, dancing and tossing leaves and flowers and love into the air for all those who will catch and receive them - I cry. I smile. I laugh. I hug. I touch. I hope. I love, think and feel so deeply. I am powerful and strong. I am respectful, thoughtful, and considerate. I am patient and kind. I am empathetic. I am caring and compassionate. I pound my chest and shout to the sky - I am a WORTHY, CAPABLE, SEXY LEADER! . Who are you? Speak love into your heart, and let it flow through you. What makes you the beautiful, perfectly imperfect human that you are? . #visible #wearehere #trans #transgender #transman #transmasculine #afab #ftm #hehimhis #borntobeme #whoiam #myverybestfriend #kindness #breathe #strength #hope @thelittlevolcano #magma #chainbreaker #love #support #chooselove #speakloveintoyou https://www.instagram.com/p/BpaUOKdHN9e/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hqlvi4f2g6ru

2013 vs today. Here's to loving myself despite every possible obstacle and staying true to my happiness no matter how many people try to get between me and my way of life.

Start off by being kind and accepting those who are different, my goal in life after I’m out of the USMC is to start my own clothing line called CALVANNA. 25% of the profits will go to raise money for the Trans kids, and I also want to open a gym to those who aren’t accepted by their schools or parents for being different and remind them that being different is okay, all the proceeds from the gym will go to organizations for trans kids who can’t afford the surgery or the hormones. We deserve to be accepted by those around us. We are family one way or another. What I want the gym to include is boxing, for those who want to work out the anger built up over the years of not being accepted. A parkour gym because Parkour is life. I want to teach young kids self defense because we risk our lives everyday just to be the gender we were born to be. Change is forever and we have to accept that. 

She steals my hoodies, and wins almost every argument. She has tiny little snores sometimes when she sleeps, but shes always warm when she cuddles into me. She runs me baths when i come home from work, and rubs my back. She means the world to me, And i hope she’ll have me for eternity. I’ll love her with everything I've got, and ill hope that’s enough...
