Spacecowboy Finn saves the galaxy via Top Surgery
Donation protected
Oh! Hello there!
My name is Spacecowboy, nice to... oh-ahem-yea, alright.
...Ok, ok it's Finn....
anyways..
Oh shit.. you wanna get legal about it?! - My name on that piece of paper my parents filled out the day I was born? - Oh sheesh, really? .huh.
Oh.
I... see.
ok.
*shuffle*shuffle*
Well.. that still says Carolyn Virginia Schroeder.
Yea-I'm in the process of having it changed-it's a bit awkward
but..
NOT AS AWKWARD AS THE FATTY TISSUE I SEEM TO HAVE GROWN OBNOXIOUSLY IN MY CHEST REGION.
That's right folks... it's time.
Que Madonna:
"the show is over, say goodbye."
Thing is though, I need some help.
And my partner will tell you how terrible I am at asking for help, so it's probably a pretty big deal that I'm doing this. Probably. Heh.
In reality, I feel vulnerable as heck but what the hay...
I thought I had it covered, but my insurance changed recently and the top surgery went from costing $100 to somewhere around $3500 (you'd be amazed at how very much they don't want to nail down an exact number for you with these type of things.) Anywho... I don't have that amount with such short notice and I'm scheduled for surgery Feb. 11th. I really, REally don't want to postpone and / or jump through all of the hoops once again that got me to this juncture of this fun little path I'm on... so here I am.
Just a spacecowboy, standing in front of a computer, asking an unseen, unknown number of humans to love me.
...Notting Hill anyone?? No? Just me? ...ok.
I've set a goal for $5000 because I won't be able to work for at least 2weeks and possibly more like a month, so if I somehow touch enough of your loving hearts to get me above and beyond what the actual surgery will cost, the remainder will go towards paying my bills, etc.. and if I've miscalculated and I somehow end up with more than enough for all of this then any extra will be donated to other LGBTQIA+ folks in need.
Ok, I'm wrapping up - promise... you may be wondering though, what's with the fundraising title? Saves the galaxy? How exactly is Spacecowboy Finn going to do THat? And what the heck could top surgery have to do with it?!
Well guys, gals and nonbinary pals, lemme try to explain a little somethin I call love...
When I sit quietly and feel that divine life force flowing through my being, I can feel it getting stuck. I can feel it gunking up in certain areas and it feels like I can't let it flow out to others as wholly and nourishingly as it could be if things were... a bit different. If I allowed myself to fully manifest in the way I'm meant to. I can feel something / someone inside asking me to do this work, to take this journey with them. The person I'm becoming. Or the person I already am rather but this version has some glimpses to share as to what's next for me. They're quite convincing as to how important it is for me to strive for all of the magic, all of the possibilities that this life has in store for me. To let the dance be FREE. So I've accepted this quest and I'm on my way.
I believe if I accept myself more wholly and fully embrace all of me then I will be able to more fully and readily embrace and hold each one of you.. and those of you I have yet to encounter. By allowing myself to be, I am allowing myself to love - not only myself - but others in a whole new way. When each of us can do this for ourselves it ripples outward indefinitely. Part of what gave me the courage to embark on this was seeing and resonating with another individuals path and how it had positively affected their life. So when we do this for ourselves, we just might be the encouragement someone else might need.
THIS is how I save the galaxy through top surgery. One moment at a time. Through abundant, unrestricted love.

As a token of my appreciation, I'm offering presents!
Donations of $25 will receive a recording of me singing you a gratitude song. I can’t sing on key, but I can sing with feeling!
Donations of $50 will receive one recorded meditation guided by me... Ever wished your meditations took you to unknown galactic warblings of joyous hilarity?? Seek no further.
Donations of $75 will receive a love poem written by yours truly... or a poem of some sort. My heart is already so full of love from all of this, I'm fairly confident that love will have some part to play in the whole writing process.
Donations of $100 will receive all three of the previous gifts mentioned.
Donations over $100 are very unexpected and I can't even think of what I will do once I finish pissing my pants with joy but I'm thinking :
Donations of $150 will receive one hand-drawn cartoon of supreme delight. (SUPREME.) Plus the previous gifts.
Donations of $200 or more will receive somewhere along the lines of I'll write you a bloody novel!! Apparently the thought of a $200 gift brings out the British in me...
Um. wait... eeesh.. I can't write you a novel for that - hold on.. ok.
You will receive a poem for you and poems for 2 lucky loves in your life and the previously mentioned gifts! Weeeeee!
Thank you for taking the time to read my story. There’s a lot going on in the world and it means a lot that you are giving this your time.
Much love,
Finn
