Blog homework 2/19
@penny @lemon @missy
This particular blog homework topic has my mind spinning! I have been playing fantasy games for over a decade. I have had familiars, companions, pets, mounts, you name it. I would happily own a unicorn or a dragon. But to choose just one creature, I had to think. I had to go through the fantasy catalouge in my mind. I even went so far as to think of the practicality of each pet! I want a chupracabra but what if he kills the neighborhood goats!? Could I own a vampire or werewolf without it being slavery because they're also human!?
I finally settled on a Phoenix. As cliche as it may seem, I very much identify with the metaphor of rising from the ashes. I has risen from the ashes of who I used to be more then once. One example being sobriety. With the exception of prescription medical marijuana, I have been clean and sober since December 26, 2017. Years before I stopped drinking, I became deathly ill and never quite recovered. I had to drop out of grad school, where I was on track to graduate with honors with a Masters in Art Therapy. In 2016, I had heart surgery that saved my life. Though my body never quite recovered. From the ashes of who I was before I got sick and got sober, rose Brujaja, my modeling persona. Leaving myself behind for a moment, I embraced my new persona. It was almost like I needed a new name and identity to allow myself to be who I truly was inside. Within a year of starting here on SuicideGirls, I came out to my friends as non-binary and pansexual 💛💖💙
Suicidegirls, and this beautiful community, gave me the opportunity to rise from the ashes of my old life and create a new one. I love modeling. I love being an egirl. And I am excited to see what I do next.
In short, I would absolutely own a Phoenix. I, too, am a blaze of fire rising from ruin. However, I have no idea what I would name a Phoenix! Probably Albus 🧡
