Personally, my biggest support has been my wife who has been with me every step of the way. Even the steps that terrified us both.

But also, I have found my family that I have been searching for my entire life. I found them here and on the blahaj matrix chat rooms.

I hope they all know just how special they are to me. They've given me a space to be myself and I feel like I finally fit in somewhere.

When I say they're my family, I truly honestly mean that.

There is one special person that I've met here that I know for a fact will always be a part of my life. I wouldn't trade them for the world. ❤️
