Where life is going [View all]

I'm happy with myself physically now. I got one surgery remaining to get facial surgery to remove a few masculine features but other than that I think I pass officially.

Thing is I'm not happy with the direction I am going. I feel like a dinosaur where I work. I'm surrounded by very young adults from 19 to 23. I'm 32 soon to be 33 in a month working a job that a younger adult should have.

We have a running joke here that I'm the senior queer. Which I'm fine with since it makes me laugh. But it just feels bad that this is where I am in life. But I don't know what to do for a career. I wanna write stories but I feel I'm no good at it. I wanna restore and create with my hands but I feel I'm not my grandfather.

I don't wanna make coffees forever. I enjoy being around these younger adults since they are all very progressive minded. But I want something meaningful.
