talked to my therapist about my frustration with the whole social security bullshit and was inspired to make a meme about it <3

Name Change BS

SS: if you do one thing wrong on your name change form, we’ll bury it in a pile of paperwork that no one will touch for months.

DMV: tells you that you need your updated SS card but really only need your marriage certificate.

Passport: sends your marriage certificate back separately from your new passport to give you a heart attack right before the holidays.

NCIDQ: You got married?! Totes cool. Just use the PIN we give you and we’ll recognize that it’s you.

A Slight Snag in my Christmas

My Christmas was mostly good! I got awesome presents!! I’M SEEING RON WHITE ON JANUARY 5th NEXT YEAR!!!!! WAHOOOO!!!!!!! AND I SAW DR. SEUSS’ THE GRINCH!!!

The snag came when a couple of family friends came over and celebrated Christmas with us. The guy who is around my dad’s age apparently gets confused when my mom calls me by my (new) name Sage and said that I’ll always be Megan to him. :(

Okay, weird shit keeps happening to me

So some people at work lately have walked up to me and said "Hey Antonio"

Accidentally, because they forgot that my name was Angelo.

But like, holy fuck. That's my fucking birth name how does that name spring to your lips?

I mean, sure. Angelo and Antonio aren't too far off. They're pretty similar. An-o, you know? But like, still.

It's weird, hearing my co-workers, who only know me as Angelo, call me Antonio. Something that only my mother and a few of my friends call me.

Speaking of my name change, I've been experiencing like, this, like, dysphoria. People at work call me and know me as Angelo. And a few of my friends actively try to call me Angelo. And I feel myself as Angelo.

But like, my mom, at home, calls me Antonio. None of my family calls me Angelo. Not that I see any of them. I don't really want to see them.

I kind of want to change my name again. Not my first name. I like Angelo. A lot. This is my name.

But I kind of want to change my last name. I want to make it something more meaningful. Like my father's name. Harrison. I think the name rings true. Angelo Harrison. I dunno. Maybe in a few years. Maybe when I'm more secure and confident in my body, my gender, myself.  I don't want to end up changing my name a million times. Only a couple times, maybe once or twice more (if I get married to some guy (or girl) and end up changing my last name to theirs, even though I'm not planning on it at all).

Like, I dunno.

I'm confused.

I LIKE THOSE especially stickhandler but to be fair I haven’t been following you long so maybe the sentimental value of your current url is lost on me…I’m going through the same dilemma though :*

tbh I've changed my username at least 4 times in the past 2yrs so it's not an uncommon occurrence or anything. & I've had two teen wolf related usernames, but I really want a hockey one and I kind of wanted to change it during the playoffs BUT WHAT IF I JINXED THINGS BY DOING THAT and so I didn't and then teen wolf started up and I was like ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........
