Writing My Own Obituary


I have lived my life on my own terms.  Yes, I have several regrets but I also have a lot of personal victories.  I would've wanted to do more in my life but real life has often bogged me down to what is mundane and routine.  Doting uncle, aspiring writer, assiduous research writer, loved learning languages, music lover, movie buff, tennis addict, loved to dance but too shy to do a Tik Tok video and most importantly, a queen that navigated the hatred and homophobia without any fear.
