Hello lovely people.
So it's been exactly two and a half years since I posted the last part to this and I thought why not explain it and the impact it has now a bit.
So, if you want to have what seems like a pretty happy ending to me, keep reading.
I wrote this when in an incredibly dark place. I was in deep denial about my gender. My mom was diagnosed with cancer and taking treatment, her boyfriend was abusive and I had a habit of hurting myself.
I attempted suicide three times that year.
Writing was and to this day still is something I can put my feelings into. Translating the hurt I felt helped me cope in a way that was good for me. It helped me express and slowly work through the issues I had and seeing your comments, reactions on how this story has helped you, even in the smallest of ways, makes me so indescribably happy.
I'm better now. With the end of 2019 in sight I can say that, even though I know this story focuses on how there is no such thing as a happy ending, I've still gotten lucky.
I'm starting on hormone therapy soon and we're looking at babyname websites to pick a fitting name for me.
My mom beat cancer and we moved recently, far away from her ex.
I recently was told that therapy wasn't working anymore because I'm doing everything right and my friend circle supports me well enough.
I have a girlfriend and a close group of friends.
I'm still depressed. And sometimes it's hard to get out of bed when the weight of past trauma and everything you still have to get done hangs above your head.
But I bought a trans flag recently and it's hanging on my wall and my teacher told me that he'd do everything he can to get me into the art school I want to attend because he believes it'll be worth it.
And with that. I do really think that sometimes, though life is far from a fairytale. Happy endings are still possible. As long as you are able to be content with them.
Love to all of you and I hope that, if you could relate to this in any way, you'll find something to drive you forward and maybe to help you climb up again.
Stay safe out there kiddos,
Ben
