Discovering my sexuality<br/>while growing up as a Christian in the South wasn't easy, but I didn't get into any real trouble<br/>until my own church told me I wasn't welcome in God's house, in my twenties. Dejected, I<br/>spiraled into drug addiction and crime, and my drug of choice was crystal meth. After years of<br/>living life to the extreme with the craziest drugs and wildest sex I could imagine, my HIV+<br/>diagnosis only told me one thing: Go out with a bang because your life is almost over.<br/>Today, my life is a very different story and much has changed. I'm not homeless, I don't think my<br/>life is ending any time soon, and I have an evolving perspective of what it means to live a<br/>balanced and spiritual life. I make it a point to have people in my life who many would say live<br/>on the &amp;quot;social outskirts&amp;quot; and who embrace ideas and practices society believes to be &amp;quot;taboo&amp;quot;<br/>because these are my people and we have so much in common. I have a dirty, sexual, VERY<br/>open mind and yet maintain a strong connection with Jesus Christ. I feel called to tell my story<br/>and connect with others to help them find a greater understanding of themselves and a path to<br/>spirituality as well</p>
