"Sick of it all"

By 11, I already figured out I was trans and thought I was bisexual because "everyone kinda felt the same". I remembered a book with the word "homosexual" being burnt in a trashcan by my dad with my older sister crying when I was 9. I didn't dare tell him.

I told my mom when I was 12, since my dad left the picture. she didn't take that well, and thought i had dibbuk (a type of spiritual jewish posession by dark forces) and while i didn't really go thru conversion therapy, there was a definate attempt to "fix" me. I became suicidal.

I was DL in high school, I passed pretty well and no one really knew what "transgender" is. I was outed by the age of 14 and was attacked in the school bathroom.

When I was 15, I spent a year in a psych ward where I started coming out of my shell a bit, but ended up falling into a pretty bad crowed.

I left them by 17, but i was extremely lonely in a

When I turned 18, I left. Found a program to house trans people. Moved in with complete strangers. I thought my life was basically over and I was just bracing for death. I was denied HRT because of my disability, had no friends, and entered an abusive relationship.

I am almost 19. I have a job in my dream profession, I am best friends with my roommate, I left that abusice relationship, my physical condition got better so I'm starting HRT soon, and i finally had the space to realize im aro ace.

and I realized something important-

I want to live.

I always wanted to live. I wanted to live so much I thought I wanted to die, if that makes sense.

I just didn't live until very, very recently.
