Hi, everyone! I’m Anexis and my pronouns are they/them. Nice to meet you! I’m a blind college student majoring in english with a concentration in creative writing. I’m a content creator who began on YouTube with the channel Videl Blind-The Blind Reader. I now currently run the channel Anexis Matos and no longer post on my old one. I started blogging to share my writing. I’ve always enjoyed stories. I started writing when I was between the ages of 10 and 12. My stories started out as Dragon Ball fanfiction which will never see the light of day because I deleted them. Now, I write original stories that I hope to share at some point. My aim with this blog is simply to share my thoughts on whatever interests me. From reviews to blindness, you’ll see it here.

  • I Had So Much Hope

  • Planet Fitness Is Not a Judgment-Free Zone

    One of the things I struggle with as a person with a disability is feeling welcomed in establishments. I prefer spending time online and socialise as little as possible. It’s a drain on my mental health. Recently, I decided I’d like to get back into exercising. To make that easier on myself, I got a…

    A Moment of Kindness

    I resent you, but I also appreciate you. You’re not so bad. You give us what we need. What we want. Our rights. Our freedom. Our lives. We have that thanks to you. For that, I’m grateful.

    Audio Description of Perfect Match Season Two

    Before reading, please read the original audio description critique of Perfect Match. I won’t recap my thoughts. Instead, I’m going to focus on one specific aspect, so it’ll be short. For those unaware, audio description is a separate audio track added to visual media that describes visual aspects. It’s mainly intended for blind and visually…

  • Disappear

    If you’re always here, why can’t I see you? I guess it’s easy to disappear at will when you’re not the one in the line of fire.

  • She Reminded Me of You

    I forgot about you, but it seems you never forgot about me. You were waiting in the background until I needed you. I didn’t remember his introduction. The confusion I felt when he told me to befriend you. The uncertainty when he didn’t bring you up again. The relief that others dealt with you. You…

  • Trouble

    You got too comfortable, but it wasn’t your fault. I got comfortable around you and invited you into my life. You were right one time, so I decided to trust you again. Why not? You proved your loyalty to me. I wrote a story whose title I can’t remember. I was so proud. It was…

  • Your Name Is Advocacy

    He sat across from me when he told me you were important. He told me to trust you, but never warned me that you would disappoint me. He made you out to be the solution to problems I didn’t see. He made you seem like some form of rescuer, but did he know the weight…

  • Cure

    They’ve prayed, asking some god to heal me. To cure me. I know they’re kind, but I wonder if they think at all. Why would I be blind if their god didn’t want me to be? There’s no cure. Maybe there will be, but not yet. Blindness is here to stay.

  • Letter to Akira Toriyama

    From time to time, I think about you. Not in depth, but I do. Your stories. Your characters. Your time. Your dedication. Your genius. Why should I think of authors? You’re deities in your own right, giving us gifts that we don’t always deserve. Then again, that’s how benevolent deities are, aren’t they? But you’re…
