Without getting political I am losing my career of 13 years due to my trans identity.

13 years of hard work and dedication feels like it has been ripped from me. I have alot of emotions surrounding this, but I've come to a space of peace with it all. I feel this has come at a good time for me in my life. I dont align with the agenda, my unit has run me ragged and finding joy in anything had become near impossible.

I had no time to draw, make music, or really even do anything that brings me joy. Depression honestly hit me hard over the lsst two years. Being told I am being kicked out in turned kicked my butt into gear when it comes to putting myself a little bit higher on my own priority list. In short it's really looking like a blessing in disguise.

As of now I am on indefinite leave of absence until I have my offical end date. I am taking this time to better myself, get my hobbies back, and spend what time I have left with Giotto (I cant believe my boy is almost 15, where does the time go).
We will be moving back across the country soon, but my first goal is to just recoup after the whirlwind that has been the last two years.

I am also being evaluated for disability and benifits, so I know even after I lose my career I will have something coming in as its looking like I will be leaving with at least an 70- 80% VA disability rating, which I am going to fight for higher (we all seem to have to).
As for a job, well I finally am reaching my life long goal and will be working in a hospital as a chaplain. I am fortunate enough to know the director and he has a spot waiting for me as they want to keep the pagan representation alive in their trauma centre.

Its been alot, but I really am looking forward to having my life back and being creative in some shape or form. Ill be posting pictures of some of my projects that I was able to work on, not really furry related but they have kept me sane the last few months.
