the wind kisses my cheek and i believe in love again

the summer of newly found romance and knowing my bones have more purpose than just making profit

the way our lips have more to give than just words

the summer of refusing to swallow my own tongue and wading in shallow pools until goosebumps raise on my skin

Today, I am alive

25 feels like opening my eyes for the first time. It feels like learning what it means to be inside of this body instead of merely existing in it. 25 is learning to take up space again. Undoing the moments in life that taught me to be small. I've spent a very long time being a slave to other people's perceptions of me. It was how I kept myself safe as a child. Now, I want to see what will happen if I radically lean into my instincts. To trust my gut despite the stares or the questions. It is a challenge, but I have to keep reminding myself that I don't have to live up to anyone's expectations of me. I am allowed to decide for myself who I want to be. This world will only continue to try and sell you a dream. A version of yourself that you think you need to be but I am committed to creating my own fulfillment.

Sorry, my what? My pronouns? Oh, yeah I'm between genders at the moment. No, it's cool, I quit my last gender a little while ago because it really wasn't working out. I don't know if I even have a dream gender anymore.

[draconym]

Oh yeah, it did come with benefits, but they weren't really worth it. The culture was really toxic. To be honest I think I'd prefer a part-time gender so I can just be self-described in my spare time.

[draconym]

I mean, in a perfect world we wouldn't need gender, you know? We could just voluntarily be perceived as much as we're able, as much as makes us feel fulfilled. Having a full-time gender shouldn't be a prerequisite for food, shelter, and healthcare.

I started testosterone today. I couldn’t be happier. It’s been a long time coming. I remember when I first started questioning my gender three years ago and being scared shitless. Scared to even admit that I might be trans. And now I’m on hormones. It’s funny how much things can change. I’m looking forward to seeing myself change and grow as time goes on. I hope my happiness can convince the people around me that this is the right choice for me.
