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’m an advocate, though I don’t want to be one. Do I have a choice?

  • Conflicting Friends

    Conflicting Friends

    You were once a friend, but too many demands signaled our end. Your constant necesity for perfection led me into a world of deception. When I crossed a line you didn’t like, judgments flew like battle cries. I wanted to make you a distant memory, but realized without you it’s hard to breathe. I kept…

  • Only Worth Five Points

    I stared at the assignment, unsure what to do. I had not done the first part, but there were already problems. I could only comment on one person’s reply. You wanted me to let the teacher know. I considered it, but saw it was only five points, so I ignored you. I did the first…

  • The Shadow

    When you speak to me, you disappear like ocean waves. You only return when your friend translates your words. “You never understand me!” You slap my fingers with a rigid ruler, but it’s less painful than before. Before, you were more present. You were like homemade lemonade or orange juice, more sweet than sour. Now…

  • Were You There?

    I don’t remember how I met her, but I remember being her student. She was frightening, a shadow watching my every move. I grew quiet around her, hoping to make my life a little easier. It didn’t work, but it was easier than having a conversation with her. I always wondered where you were. Were…

  • An Unlikely Friend

    You’re an unlikely friend to me, but I wonder when your friendship ends.

  • A Moment of Kindness

    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.

  • 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…
