I'm just a guy trying to stay alive in a world that doesn't care. I love life, I love exploring all of the wonders this world has to offer. Unfortunately for the past 2 decades I have been living in constant pain. That's changing.
It troubles me to no end;
to think about our young people in America.

Those that were born shortly before the Pandemic,
and all of them since.

What world are they living in?
We experienced & knew a much different world.

It's not the same world for them.

It changes your perspective.

Every single day I struggle to get through.

I haven't had an earned income since 2012.

My country, my friends & my family have all but given up on me.

I was given a home, a place to heal & feel loved.

Yet, through all of this I still somehow have found the time to imagine a better future.

The last 22 years of my life have been lived with the possibility that each day could be my Last.

I've survived this for What?!?

As I contemplate the mere possibility of returning to the work force, the world is going to Hell.

At 16 years old I had to convince my parents, in two different states to sign papers to allow me to serve my country.

"Pravda"
(Правда)

Is a Russian word that means "truth" or "justice". It was also the name of the official newspaper of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1918 to 1991, acting as the voice of Soviet Communism.

Every single day I struggle.
Not with paying bills.
Not with going to work.
Not with raising my children.
Just with getting through each & every single day.

The journey is just about being as real as you can be.

In a world that has forgotten how to see individuals, and can only view others and often themselves, only through labels. I have lived a life that defies labels.

There is a joy in hardship, a freeing of the soul... that the affluent can scarcely ever know. #keepinitreal

Hello Bluesky. My name is Douglas. I like to be known Online as Real_BlackbirdFlyin.

I've wanted to take the Bluesky plunge, but, I've been unsure how to introduce myself.

I could tell you my "ASL".

I could tell you all of the Titles I've held, throughout my time. Those are just labels as well.
