In the beginning...........

-



Quite honestly my first post on this blog, and my millionth post since I have been on the Internet. I am turning 50 years old March 4h, 1974.  Literally a half a century old, and freaking out at the fact that I should be having a mid-life crisis, but I am a student and I do not have time for such petty wastes of time. ;)

This introduction is many things, but mostly about what I plan to do with this blog/journal and how I can benefit from taking time to chronicle my thoughts.

Tomorrow, I will begin the process of starting my first prompt, or, answering a series of 3000 questions. Mainly because I think those questions help me examine my life - but more on that later. 

This will be a reflective journal, part of my self-care journey, and that is something I am grateful to share with you.

Until tomorrow, love you and please be kind to your neighbors and loved ones,
Jake

To that end, this paper will analyze the intersectionality between LGBTQIA+ rights and social welfare frameworks in relation to the youth population within the foster care system, as illuminated by an issue brief by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) on LGBTQIA+ youth in foster care ( Human Rights Campaign [HRC], 2022 ).
