An about me moment…

For those who don’t know me… Im 31 years old

Im a trans girl. Living in Vancouver Canada

And my name. Is Nina.

I believe in the dhamma of Budda.

My story is too complex to tell, or… perhaps is now is not the time but maybe one day I’ll be able to share with you my all…. but for now my poetry will have to do.

Some of the things that I can tell you however… I most certainly will… I still have a love for hip hop www.youtube.com/user/innashademusic

I have done a couple little things in the past few months but nothing serious

Poetry which you will always find here I have no other place for it…

I do some modeling and art on Instagram:

Today as the rain pours in my city wordpress is a refuge from the cold and damp of a city half boarded up and covered in street art. I had recently left town and when I finally returned looking over Vancouver I remember why I love this place so much. Its a magic place…

I love Vancouver street photography…. One of my friends takes a lot I wonder if he has a website… Uno momento… Found it!

More of a Vancouver Graffiti link… Im obsessed with graff and streetart and this guy takes (the best shots)

Since I transitioned many years ago my life has substancially improved. Although I end up moving from place to place I am always in balance with what it is to live in such a way. Every good and bad… simply another opportunity. It is what it is.

I came here to rant a little about myself and I think thats good for now.

Thanks for stopping by!

 

About me. A return

Its been a very long time since I have been away from WordPress. Id like to come back to this and reintroduce myself. My name is Nina and I’m 31 years old. Im a Buddhist, a step mother, an artist and a trans woman. I started this blog while living in a homeless shelter many years ago and I can remember walking across the street to the coffee shop to do my daily blogging every morning. I had originally thought i would simply write about living on the streets, but. It became much more than that.

Im returning now as many things have changed. I got married and am looking after a young one. I am sober. For the first time in my life. Something like 8 or 9 months. It has been easy but it hasn’t. I am very thankful for this morning; an opportunity to speak and place another step on this path. The path of buddha, sobriety, motherhood, art and most importantly love.

Im not sure where to begin but I suppose I already have. So since I have been gone; budhism has truly become my path. I have realized there is no place for alcohol in a buddhist. I see the dhamma now as the only path to be on. I am also a visual artist. A graffiti writer and painter. I am shocked and happy to say that art is my profession yet am still but what you would call the starving artist. But I am happy.

Sobriety was taken away from me by the age of 13. So 17 years of usage which is more than half of my life and pretty much the entirety of my adult life. I have found new ways to enjoy life, to cope with pain and anxiety. As i write i feel like the lotus blooming from the mud.

Hello everyone. Im here again. Im back

Love Nina

Boop.

I’m a little different and that’s totally okay

Who wants to be perfectly normal anyway

I’d rather do me and me be free anyday

Why conform to a norm I wasn’t born to be boring

I write poetry at 4 am while the rest are snoring

Let today be a beautiful day in either sunny skies or pouring

Peace

Mind

As I incline; recognize my devine mind

Nothing can define I

My finesse stretch through nets n wires

Im cosmic in flesh form born from a torn war in the soul scorned

From out the darkness light with a heart to fight ignite fear in the wicked

Split them in half in split seconds

Go.

Dare to write

Writing your dreams, desire, sex, love and passion

Whatever that may be

You can see your thoughts colliding with concrete written form

It’s bare and exposed

Lighting a way through the dark reality of human consciousness

Love yourself

Blessed with the food, shelter, family friends

Give thanks when you write

Nobody is promised tomorrow

Everybody dies; but not everybody lives.

On one; while willy two’d the three.

Imma easter tweakin rabbit;

wit a knitted wicker basket filled with easter egg licorice hashish;

bouncin up the aves wit it;

towerin empowerin steppin on leprechauns;

weapons drawn pointed at the annointed;

joint lit so tell me what the heck you on;

im on one; while willy two’d three;

swinging a jewly piece;

the rhymes like tom.

Foolery.

ReflexZionz of All my questionz and answerz.

I see myself; Inside and out..

Reflecting each others burdens and blessings.

Beautifully damaged imperfect perfectionz.

In this moment I’m Time Travel In.

Time Continues Unravel In.

Side my soul.

Finding myself; there she is.

In the mirror I stared;

Aware; Here.

And

There it is.

 

Nina.

 

 

 

Slowed.

Its all been slowed to a stop

And I felt like a child again

Something as simple as the breeze blowing on my face

And the sound of wind

The tattering rain on the tin roof

And the slightest warmth in the air

Smiling when I can feel,

And hear; the earths simple pleasures

Timeless is and

Precious is life.

Nina

Just Smile beautiful.

Wake up

And not long…

Realizing the blessings as usual

Its the the morning;

The sun hasn’t even risen in the sky

And its another day to start again

You are you; and you are beautiful

Don’t feel so down about money

Don’t feel down about anything!

All I want you to do is

Just smile for me…

There you go… 🙂

 

Nina
