...See more My birth name is Matthew. I prefer to go by either Matt or Mattie. I identify as nonbinary and trans. I've always had an attraction or dare I say obsession with feminine stuff. I grew up within a very conservative family, so being myself has never really been an option. I'm proud of who I am and can't wait to see where my journey takes me next :)

...See more Since it's Pride month and EVERYONE is talking about it I feel like it's time I share my thoughts. Let's go! I've always felt different from others viewpoints on sex and gender. I grew up in a very small, rural and conservative family, so being so different from my norms has always felt more normal and honestly rebellious. I remember when I was a kid while on vacation I watched a film where two teenaged girls were kissing and dating and I was like wow that's real that's possible lol. I consider myself to be nonbinary and trans. I just always sort of knew I was even though I couldn't really talk about it with anyone cause they either disagreed or honestly didn't know. Yet as I grew older I find myself more attracted to like feminine stuff. I've always preferred being around females. I'm struggling constantly to fit in based on the sex I was born as and plus being myself around my friends.  Gender is such a wide and massive spectrum. Figuring out who you exactly are can be challenging, especially without help. I guess my question is how can I come out without actually coming out?  How do I stop being so afraid to be myself without worrying about how others may feel? No one should feel shame or guilt about who they're. There is a little girl inside of me who desires to be seen and heard. She's ready to be the woman who she was created to be :)
Stranger Things

...See more Any other Stranger Things fans on 7 Cups? I love Stranger Things! It's such a unique series that does a great job representing 80s lore.  Not watching Stranger things sort of makes me feel like I'm missing my family in some ways. My favorite season will always be the first.  I can't wait for season 5.  It's sad that it's ending soon, but I think it's definitely time with how much older the cast is now. Plus I think they'll make spin off series. Stranger Things has so many directions it can  go in the past or present. My favorite characters are Dustin, Max, Will, Eleven, Steve, and of course Hopper. Hawkins forever!

...See more (These are thoughts and feelings I've been holding in for a long time. I'm truly sorry if someone reads this and gets triggered or something. I don't mean to harm anyone. I just have to let these feelings go. I haven't felt normal in a few days, so I think typing all of this out and posting it may help. Writing is one of my passions. It has always helped me deal with my pain :) I don't know why you ghosted me. I know thing were rough and not easy, yet just ghosting me has left me feeling so betrayed and uneasy. I sit here and laugh about it honestly. I now struggle to deal with people because of what you did to me. That is so messed up. Like if you did that to me so unexpected what is stopping someone else from doing the same? I never wanted to be or feel anti social, yet here we are. Everyone always tells me to talk to them and they will always respond. But they don't which I understand, yet it just hurts so much to build up trust with someone just to end up being forgotten. And then it's worse when people get offended and start hurling insults back at you like you reaching out to them is a problem. These people know exactly what the problem is, yet they don't want to deal with it so they make up excuses as to why their life is more important and all that ***.  I don't want to hide from my problems. I want to face them and overcome them not make up excuses and act like everything is fine when it's not. Honestly I feel like Winston Smith in 1984. it's like I'm living in this world where a majority of people are just following orders when I see problems and want to face them. I'm never going to a guinea pig, following the crowd. That life ain't for me. I know this makes life harder, yet so much more rewarding. i love to research and ask difficult questions cause those questions need to be answered. It's ok if people get upset. Our emotions deserve to be heard. The silver lining is this has helped me to grow as a person and to understand myself better not because of what you did to me, yet because I learned I don't need you anymore. I'm wounded, but I'm healing so much. Some days and moments are a struggle, yet I got my eye on the prize. I'm thankful to be alive and be a part of God's creation. Life is a gift. It's sad people don't understand that. I'm going to keep smiling and enjoying life, especially with the people who truly care. There are people out there( yes, I'm shouting you out Tiny Whisper :) who actually care about you and that is awesome!  I want to help others deal with their problems. No one should have to face life and all their challenges alone. We need to do a much better job at listening and understanding each other. We're only alone if we allow our minds to play tricks on us. I don't believe in magic, yet I do believe we have power inside of us to take on life and thrive. I'm blessed to be a part of 7 Cups and hear so many others stories. All of us are doing a really excellent job slaying our dragons and becoming the best versions of ourselves. Those negative folks can't touch us no more! Take pride in that and don't allow others weak opinions to slow us down. They too have their own issues and deserve help only if they desire it. God is here. He is with you and wants only what is best for your life. Trust and keep trucking forward! Peace out!

...See more I wanted to create a space for writers or anyone creative in general to discuss our hobbies and passions here at 7 Cups. I'm an avid reader of both fiction plus historical novels whether that be an event like WW2 or just some famous person's memoir. I'll  read  basically anything, but my favorite genres are fantasy, scifi, horror, thrillers etc. Publishing my own fiction is a major goal of mine. One of my projects is like a Star Wars story, yet within a more primal, medieval viking or pirate like universe. It's a lot to plot and think about, yet I love it! There is so much power within storytelling. I hope the stories I create give others joy and inspiration to chase their own dreams. We've all got dreams. Let's make them happen one sentence at a time. If anyone would like to critic each others stories or just brainstorm I'm down for that anytime :)

...See more I've always dealt with social anxiety. I'm always stumbling on my words, second guessing myself because of fear of others opinions or reactions. It's like I struggle to process information. I realize those dark inner thoughts aren't true and are just holding me back. I desire to be able to talk to others and be  open and vulnerable. Being social is a very important tool I want to master. How do I go from a lone wolf to a social butterfly :)
Journal of Thoughts

...See more I'm a writer, so I've always enjoyed writing out my thoughts and even sharing them online. I feel like it can be very positive and also motivating to others. Words and stories are powerful. And your stories matter too. I'm happy to have found this page within the community. I struggle sometimes to know exactly where to post on sites like this, so this sounds helpful. My name is Matt( also go by Maddie or Mattie). I live in Florida( go Gators!). I was born with a rare disorder called MPS. Basically I'm missing enzymes which are suppose to help the body. Since I was nine years old( I'm now 29 lol) I've received treatment through infusions which basically creates a fake, artificial version of the enzymes that last a few days then I have to get more treatment. I go every week. It doesn't really bother me. I'm thankful for all the wonderful people it has brought into my life. It just sucks waiting and waiting for an actual cure to be found if possible. There are multiple layers to MPS. I have the most mild version. Some are very severe. Life is for the living. As long as I'm alive I'm going to stay positive and encourage others.   I love talking to others about deep, personal stuff. I feel like those conversations are very hard to come by nowadays. I like to hear others opinions. I don't always agree with other opinions, yet it's still good to reflect and have an open mind. I don't have all the answers. The ego is a dangerous thing. I struggle to process information sometimes. The words are always on my mind, yet don't always come out as I hope. I've gotten better at dealing with that, but it can be challenging. In the back of my mind when in a conversation I'm always afraid I'll say the wrong thing or the other person won't understand me.  I'm introverted, yet definitely  also have a more extroverted side if you know me well enough. I'm nonbinary and trans. Like I've always known that about myself, yet have always struggled with how to handle that. I've come a long way and am embracing this beautiful side of myself, yet it can be so difficult to just be yourself around others, especially with how politics is going. I don't care who you are or what you believe. As long as we respect each other we good. I always think about transitioning. Like life as a woman would be so fun, but I also realize the damage that would do to my relationship with my family. I don't blame people if they have a problem with my life choices. I just wish we would respect each others boundaries and happiness. I feel like my creative side is very feminine and that is where I get to be myself. I'm team girl for sure. I love opening up to my female friends. It helps me feel more like myself and equal. I used to be so scared to talk about this, yet now I can't stop lol. I come from a dysfunctional family. Being an empath it can be very draining. Family should always support each other no matter what. My dad is a narcissistic, alcoholic.  I still live at home with my parents, so I'm constantly around that. People are always telling me to leave or whatever which makes sense, yet it's not that easy. I wish he would admit to his flaws and be a little less annoying. I know it's not my fault and I can't change him. It does add more fuel to my fire at least. I'm not a super emotional person, yet I do have a sensitive side and I'm trying to embrace that more. Ok. I'll stop here for now. If you read all that thanks so much. Hopefully I add on to my journal later. Take care and always be creative!
