Struggling..
Life is worth the struggling is what they say. I have been struggling these last few weeks. At the end of September i was laid off from my job. SO i went on to do door dash, a food delivery kind of business. Well since the first of the year the app has been dead. no orders which means no money. Which means bills are paid and my girlfriend is struggling as i am. Because now she has to cover everything. She shouldn’t have to cover anything. I wish i had a job. I wish i could support her instead of her supporting me.
One day it will be better. one day i will be better.
Coming out and the aftermath
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Sorry its been awhile! I’ve been staying busy with life, family, and school. not working much sadly. Life of retail. BUT huge news! If your not following me on youtube then you dont know but i came out to my parents! yes big news, but it wasnt great the week after. They were okay with it the night of but the two or three days after were rough. The shock wore off and my Dad was having a hard time with it. He was yelling at EVERYONE, NOT JUST ME. He was yelling at my girlfriend blaming her, then yelling at my sister and mom since they knew before him. It was really rough. I was extremely depressed and didn’t want to do anything. I hated that he was taking it out on everyone when he should have just taken it out on me. its been about a week and a half since i told them. They are basically just putting their heads in the sand and ignoring it. My girlfriend and i have been able to go over and talk with them and hang out, but its awkward for me of course.
As of right now we are all doing okay. i’ve been over to my parents like everyday this week so far. im working on finding a new job and saving up for my surgery. wish me luck.

It’s Saturday
Hey guys it’s Saturday and I’m being a little lazy. I have been pretty busy over the last few weeks since my last post. A lot has happened as well. I’m now a promoter for BrixBennet so go and check them out and use my code JAKE10. They have an amazing site and new shirts and more. They help a lot with transgender youth. I wanted to be apart of something amazing and help them raise money for transgender youth. So please go and check them out.
I also got an email from my surgeons office and they are going to hold August 2 for me so I can pay the deposit at my next paycheck. Go and donate to my youcaring fundraiser if you can or just share it as much as you can. I also have new merch on inktale I’ll add the link at the end of the post. Please remember all proceeds go towards my surgery fund.
Other than that I started school and I’m working early in the morning so I get tired when I get home. Working 4-12:30 or 4-9:30. Am this is all in the early early morning. So I’m sorry I’m exhausted by one. I’m trying to stay as active as possible and keep everyone as updated as possible.
I love y’all a lot you keep me going.
Til next time

Voice update!
Hey guys! So short post but my voice has dropped majorly!
So Ive noticed a major difference, have you?
Friday yay
Hey all!
Today is the start of my long weekend, though i do have to go into work for about three hours which is fine with me. it makes sure i get my hours this week.
So all morning I’ve been working out, i’m also keeping a work out diary of everything i’m doing throughout the day. I’m working towards my work out goal of 150 lbs. I’m at 174 right now. i was at 185 though so its working so far. I’m happy about it very very happy.
So my therapy appointment is at 3 pm and i’m really looking forward to this session. it helps to really talk things out for me and puts things into reality. I’m so glad i found my therapist and its going amazing so far.
How are yall?

Hello from the other side?
Hey all!
So I am researching some surgeons and i think i found a few in Texas, some in Florida, and a few in north Carolina. I’m extremely interested in the Keyhole surgery. I’ve seen some results from that surgery and i think it would work for my chest size and what not. I even messaged one of the Doctors about it hoping for a reply soon.
Today has been a long and interesting day. Working was harsh everyone was grumpy. Though i did reach my step goal on my fitbit. Which is awesome. I should be winning one of my challenges!
So that was my day.

Facebook?
Hey all!
So i started a facebook page for myself and to support others! I’ve noticed on Gofundme there are A LOT of people trying to save up and get the surgeries or treatment and i wanted a page to help those get more attention. I know how hard it is to save money specially when you dont have a family that supports it. So go check it out.
Hit like and share Please!
Today has been a rather short day. i didn’t have to work to long so i started my first session of work outs on fit-star. my heart-rate went up to 150 which is amazing because i dont think ill be able to go for my job today with it almost raining or going to rain. I am working hard to losing my weight. I want to go down to 150 then start lifting weights and working on my chest and abs.
Any suggests on work outs? I have a ab wheel which is pretty damn amazing btw.
So until next time good night.
Been awhile
Hey all!
It’s been a few weeks now and alot has happened!
So i started therapy, had my first session on Friday and it was just a get to know you session but it went great. Really looking forward to working on my new few steps on this journey. As well i have started working out. I am hoping to lose some weight then start working on building some muscle and working on my abs and chest. I want to be ready for when i have the all clear to do my surgery. I have found a great surgeon in Florida, i’m very interested in the keyhole surgery. I’ve heard its great with very light scarring. I am hoping and crossing my fingers that i’m a good fit for that surgery.
Also i have set up a gofundme account for my top surgery here is the link.
Go please even the smallest amount will help me out.
Thanks again for following my journey!
Just another day
Hey all
So today not much happened, though everyone at work thought my hair looked great. I’m going to be learning to style it different ways from not on. i god some Axe hair gel and paste. Along with hairspray.
Okay enough about my hair, I’ve been doing okay recently its been harder and harder without her support. She’s kinda a friend but she has her moments and i just wanna walk away and let her live her life. Though she doesn’t let me she says its rude and that i’m basically ignoring her and what not. Which i am it’s just hard to talk and joke with her at times. Specially when i think she might be dating someone new soon. Which also doesn’t surprise me. She jumps into relationships and think shes going to be better off when she should just wait and be with just friends. Though she’s constantly on my mind and i’m working on trying to just let it all be. Put it in a little box and try to move forward with my life. She taught me a lesson that ill never forget.I’ll never forget it. I need to be honest even though it scares me to death. I had been friends with her for years and never could tell her, because i never wanted to lose her specially if she knew the truth. it’s the hardest thing i ever did was tell her the truth. It felt freeing but in turn i lost her. I don’t want anyone else to feel that pain and i don’t ever wanna make someone feel like that again. i wanna do better and be better. So i’m going to be on my own and working on myself. Learning from my mistakes and never letting them happen again.
I miss her though and i love her even though she hates me.
