Welcome to my new blog!
Here I begin - an avidly passionate yet humble writer, ponderer, savant. A constant work-in-progress. A unique amalgam of identities, interests, curiosities, fascinations that may possibly be of interest to others similar to me.
Be they fellow queer + trans folks, psychology researchers/professionals, collective liberation advocates, and/or multidisciplinary artists, or otherwise, I hope my musings here interests you, my friend, in some way, shape, form.
So here we go, lift off! 🚀
A semi-concise list of my recent obsessions/areas of greatest interest:
The future of psychiatry and psychotherapy, namely related to psychedelic medicines such as FDA-approved esketamine (Spravato) + psilocybin + MDMA
Personally, I have evolved tremendously through the neural rewiring + healing induced by psychedelic medicines
These include the spurning of my gender transition in 2018, surviving isolation during the COVID pandemic in 2020-22, overcoming major depression following my divorce in 2022-23, adapting to a drastic restart move back home to the NE in 2023-24
The potential of returning to grad school (Take 2!) @ the University of Pennsylvania's Applied Positive Psychology MA program
Including studying with the renowned founder of the positive psychology movement, Dr. Martin Seligman
The nascent yet burgeoning field of positive psychology utterly intrigues me, so I hope to be accepted + matriculate in 2025/26
The collective consciousness awakening that ancient Buddhist practitioners + psychedelic healers alike have called for over centuries, one that feels like ever-expanding
The thrilling prospect of Kamala Harris being the next biracial female President of the United States!
The Gen Z-driven “brat summer” vibes permeating pop music + culture. See Charlie XCX for more
The multitude of confounding, energizing, complex, overtaking, poignant, mysterious, all-encompassing journey of falling in love…
On that note, thank you for reading to the end!
May you be well, peaceful, content, safe, loved.
Abundant loving gratitude your way 💖✨🙏🏼
