Personal Rambling
2 years ago
So I've been on this account for a long long time by now. It's kinda a dated reference to a piece of media that, while ingrained in my soul for plurality and hyperfixation reasons, I've largely moved on from. In fact, having this username has kind of caused grief in that friends and customers haven't known it's me since I use a different unified username everywhere else.
But also, this account holds a lot of history for me. I made this account when I was in a very bad point in my life, and to be honest for about 7 of the 10 years I've had it I've been in some kind of abusive and/or traumatic circumstance. Heck, even now I'm in a situation that causes me a great deal of distress.
This page has been my face when I've been abused by several partners, and been taken advantage of as a teenager. This page has been my face when I've been homeless, and when I was too dissociated to know my own name.
My life is moving on. Soon I'll be moving abroad to live with my soulmate and getting married. I'll be getting the mental health treatment I've needed for decades and the physical health treatment to help me not be in constant pain. My life moves on. I want to move on and away from the history here.
For now, I'm holding out hope for FA to implement a name change feature some day. I'm pretty resistant to needless change and I don't really want the hassle of migrating my followers and info to a fresh account. But if it comes down to it I may move my art and just keep this account for my staff purposes.
Anyway, that's my personal rambling for now. Not much to take away from this except that name changes can't come soon enough.
