i'm a pretty calm person. not very talkative, but that's not by choice. being born in a world that isn't built for you isn't a very nice experience. i grew up in a very libertarian household, though my parents held certain views very conservatively. that included gender and sexual identity. i just continued to do what i did outside inside: masked most of my feelings. it happens.
i started connecting with the idea of gender identity around 2023. i went as a trans woman back then, but my identity shifted a lot. eventually i decided on non-binary. i always felt different from the rest of the world, and these gender stereotypes that came associated with each facet didn't appetize me. my identity came naturally after that.
when i started presenting as youh, i felt a lot better. being me felt like something i wouldn't really experience, but i got proven wrong. i never really connected with other people, really. as mentioned in the previous post, my brain age is "bigger" than my physical age. this made connecting with people a hell of a lot harder, especially during my crucial periods of development (middle school).
well, time passed. and as the years went on, i felt like i was finally belonging somewhere: inside of my own self. i still struggle a little bit with being somewhere, but online spsces made my life a bit better. i'm finally able to be myself at least somewhere, and you know, that's pretty neat.
my apologies for the more morbid post. we WILL have games on here soon, maybe even an ask! and a lot more rambles. i'll see y'all later!! :]
