Title: Hello from Maia!
Post by: MindfulMaia on April 28, 2026, 10:27:06 AM
Good morning, I'm a nonbinary transperson who feels more feminine than anything else.  I mostly consider myself a transgirl, but am pretty genderfluid.  But I'm really still exploring what it all means, since I just realized my trans nature about three months ago.

I live in the Mid-Atlantic region, in a fairly conservative area at the moment, but hoping to change that before long.  I've just started letting my feminine nature unfold after being restricted for nearly half a century.

But I'm here now and glad to be here.  Interests of mine include mindfulness and exploring spirituality and consciousness.

I've already said hello Maia on your 1st post but it doesn't hurt to say it again! Hiya! Welcome on board.

Mindfulness and spirituallity? I think we might have a few Buddhists on here actually who could be able to help in that regard. It is something that I am interested in too, I'm just starting to read up on it myself. We have a section on spirituality that might be worth checking out.

Hey Again Maia! 👋👩

Excerpt from my blog entry post...

"When I finally began moving towards a life that reflected the truth within me... I found that everything meant more to me... art... philosophy... history...poetry... spirituality... quantum physics... the nature of consciousness and reality because, these things are the very stuff of life and, my life now meant something real and true to me..."


This is all a spiritual quest of the highest order sister... Live and Love every step!


Onward

Ashley, that's so beautiful!  I have also found a greater richness to life since I started exploring this.  It's like my heart had been dimmed down in the past, but now it's open and shining.

As we move forward, our life becomes a process in which we are finally fully engaged in... Our connections to life... to the world... to others... and to ourself expand and blossom...

Here is a snippet of Walt Whitman for you that speaks to finding your true self and place amongst others along life's journey...

" From this hour I ordain myself loos'd of limits and imaginary lines,
Going where I list, my own master total and absolute,
Listening to others, considering well what they say,
Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating,
Gently, but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me.
I inhale great draughts of space,
The east and the west are mine, and the north and the south are mine.

I am larger, better than I thought,
I did not know I held so much goodness.

All seems beautiful to me,
I can repeat over to men and women You have done such good to me I would do the same to you,
I will recruit for myself and you as I go,
I will scatter myself among men and women as I go,
I will toss a new gladness and roughness among them,
Whoever denies me it shall not trouble me,
Whoever accepts me he or she shall be blessed and shall bless me."

Onward We Go Brave Sister!

Ashley 💕
