The Gift That Kept on Giving
So, this is me. She is pretty, and I love her. I love me more than I used to.
After many conversations with Zannah and their wife Carissa, they gifted me with this artwork on FA, and it meant so much to me. I couldn't really process it at the time, but it opened up some feelings that had been locked away for so long. It's still hard to process, and I still doubt myself from time to time, but... I am trans. I am a budding trans woman. Maybe a bit tomboyish, but I'm female nevertheless. I finally realized it at the beginning of last year. I am still growing into myself, still figuring things out, and yet, I am no longer playing the part of the scared, depressed boy that I thought I was. This poor gal was cooped up in my head for so long, she didn't deserve it. She needs to be free. I need to be free. I will love myself and become my true, most authentic self. I hate myself for keeping her locked up.... But I need to forgive myself, as she and I will never grow if I don't.
Jen, together, we'll be strong. We'll be a beautiful person, we'll be authentically us. We'll show the world that it's worth loving yourself enough to explore your identity, your innermost self.
Thank you,
Zannah. Thank you,
Carissa. I owe so much to you both, for helping me to realize who I really am. Thank you both... so much.

Oh, shoot, hiii, I'm super glad to hear from you!!! God yes, I'm loving every step of my journey, as rocky as it is. I wish I had understood the feelings that I'd had back then a little better, and sometimes I wish I had started everything so much sooner, but better late then never, right? Seriously, thank you, Zannah. If there's anything I can do for you or Carissa, please, let me know.
Lots of folks get those feels, but the important thing is you took the step! There's no such thing as too late. Would it be okay if I post about this on social media? I don't want to share your story publicly without your permission. I'm just kind of blown away that my art was the first crack in your egg.<3
