CURRENT MISSION

my current mission is to couch surf my way to Portland. Not happy living in the south.

ABOUT ME

My name is Colton. I am 21. I am a transgender male(ftm.) I enjoy listening to music, traveling, discovering new people and new places. I don't enjoy residing in the south for quite a few reasons which is why I'm planning on broadening my horizons and moving to a place where I am free to be myself, aka a place not in the south.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life because someone has to live it. Life is too short and often times, life is too long for others. A friends recent suicide really taught me a lot and made me realize that life goes on without those people. Life doesn't stop for anyone. Life doesn't stop for a single soul. However, it may make people more bitter but it doesn't stop. Ever. Since this time, I have helped others who were in need. I live because I deserve to be happy just like everyone else on this planet. Living in GA is difficult basically because of my gender identity. I am almost half a year on hormones and pass very well but one thing is missing and that thing is that I can't legally be considered a male in my state without surgery and I don't like that which is why I'm I process of moving elsewhere so I don't have to spend thousands of dollars just so I can live comfortably as the gender I really am. In other places on the west coast, this is different and I just want to be happy.
