Waiting to transition, waiting for people to get my pronouns right, to get my name right waiting for people to not see me as a girl, waiting for the courage to tell my parents

Turning 21 feels so scary because what if my whole life is like this

I’m sorry that nobody listened

I’m also sorry that I kinda don’t like you right now

Here is what I have learnt for the future:

1. Rest is important (spent Monday off recovering physically)

2. Exercise is important, even if you can’t do much (on Tuesday I went to my dance lessons and marked the routines, nobody cared)

And most importantly

3. Friends are imperative (I spent most nights with my friends and I believe laughing with them helped me process whatever happened emotionally)
