about

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.

  • 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…

  • My Experience at the Museum of Modern Art

    A few weeks ago, I was invited to two different events revolving around art. The first was a discussion on art and audio description. Unfortunately, I couldn’t go.

  • You Need to Change Your Way of Thinking

    For about a year, I let my hair grow. I remember being excited to see the progress of growth, but, at some point, I got bored and tired. It didn’t help that, if I wanted certain styles, I had to ask people to do my hair for me. If I was going to have natural,…

  • Blind Stories: Quinceañera Summer Crush

    It’s my birthday today! This is the story I’m choosing to share with you. My birthday feels strange because my grandmother is not here to see it. She passed away three months ago. Since I was seven, she’s been here for all my birthdays, but this will be the one she’s unable to see. Then…

  • My Name Is Anexis and My Pronouns Are They/them

    Rcently, I made a post discussing that I’m questioning my gender. It was a very short piece I wrote for one of my classes. Definitely read it if you’re interested in my thoughts about it. Although it was not a very detailed piece, I covered everything I needed to at the time. I still am…

  • Questioning My Gender

    For years, I identified as a woman. Now, I’m not sure. I can’t quite remember what I saw on YouTube a few weeks ago, but it got me thinking about my pronouns and gender. My feelings came to the surface quickly after that. My conflicted thoughts. My questions and what I would do to answer…

  • Writing Daughter of Death

    If you know me, you know I’m an avid story consumer. Reading is one of my favorite things to do. 2020 was my best year, getting 160 books in. Quarantine helped, but I was also going to job interviews two months before it started. In my commutes, I always had audiobook playing without fail. I…
