Powerful words yo! Your self worth has nothing to do with what you look like, we are all DIFFERENT. Love that we are all unique and that there is only one version of you!

Many doubted our success. Only 20% of teenage fathers stay with their child’s mother. Only 33% of teenage mothers graduate, & only 1% of those 33 earn a college degree before 30. I had my daughter at 15, & have pushed to show that with perseverance you can beat the odds. We BOTH graduated with our classes, myself about an entire semester early. I left with class rank 1, perfect CAHSEEs & advanced on ALL my CST exams. We’re engaged to one another & college enrolled. I’m nearly done with Surgical Tech training now at 17. We didn’t drop out, we’re still here, & we’re still pushing toward bigger & better things. People laughed, thought I’d just become another single mother with no education or desire to make something of myself with a dead beat father to my little one. Who’s laughing now? NEVER DOUBT THOSE WHO HAVE THE WILL TO SUCCEED. #fucktheodds #NOTanotherStatistic (at ‼️‼️‼️)

Sitting here thinking about a lot of stuff that has been going on in my head lately.. I am sitting here, and looking at my beautiful girlfriend, and I am so thankful for her accepting me.  Yes, when I first got with her I just thought I was a lowly drag king, however as time went on, I noticed more and more of me hated my body, hated who I was.  So when I came out to my girlfriend I was terrified to tell her that I am an FTM, I was terrified of how she was going to act.  I sat there thinking for a long time in my life that I wasn't a girl, and that terrified me. I think I was terrified that I would end up just like another statistic.... another person who ended up killing themselves because people wouldn't accept or care about me... But, regardless, my girlfriend loves me... I never expected someone to love me for who I was. 

Something amazing is that even with my mom saying she wont call me by my name or pronouns until I am fully transitioned, there is something keeping me alive.  I think it is my baby... The love she showed me, the acceptance, the care, the feeling I get when she curls up in my arms.  I swear these feelings are what are keeping me alive.  And I am so happy for it.  My girl was the first person I had told, EVER, that I was trans, and I would NEVER change that if I had a chance to redo it.

So, baby, thank you for everything you do for me.  Thank you for not letting me become just another statistic. I love you, forever and always, and cannot wait to make you my wife.
