Tattoos

Long story short, I got a friend who asked me to design a suicide awareness tattoo for them. I’ve got some left over designs and was wondering if anyone wants them(?) I dunno? They’re semicolon/emo butterflies.... or at least they’re SUPPOSED to be.

On the same subject, if any of y’all want me to design stuff or shit like that (within reason and certain boundaries), lemme know. I might be able to draw something up for you :)

[never-let-it-be-said]

Welp....

.

.

....it’s colored now.

[never-let-it-be-said]

In my day-to-day life, it's not at ALL uncommon for me to hear something negative about me, whether from myself or someone else. I've reached a point where depression and self-hate are a normal thing and, believe you me, it's not healthy. This post is my message to everyone out there.

Don't let yourself get to that point.

[never-let-it-be-said]

If this is you... well, it’s me, too. For a long time now, I’ve come to realize that not everyone/thing that should be good for me is, and right now I’m really struggling with finding answers. So yeah, just know that you’re not alone.

[never-let-it-be-said]

This is for all the depressed or suicide people out there... YOU MATTER

[never-let-it-be-said]

Show of hands if you have at the most two friends you’ve met in person and then all the rest are online and you still only have like seven friends total :)

Granted, you might be an introvert, or socially stunted by parents and restrictions, or maybe you just have trouble making friends. Still, I’m here to tell you today that you’re definitely not alone, cuz I’m right there with ya and I know a few people who are, too.

Quality is better than quantity. You don’t have to be popular to be awesome :)

[never-let-it-be-said]

I don’t know if it’s just my bipolar and/or the fact that my new identity is not being accepted by the people I really need acceptance from, but I am feeling really depressed right now, so I went on YouTube to look for something to keep my mind off of the quickly growing internal pain. 

I found this. For anyone out there who feels depressed or suicidal right now, trust me when I say that it’s not just you :,)

[never-let-it-be-said]

So for any of you who wanted an update, here ya go.

I came out as borderline trans to my parents yesterday. They did NOT accept my request to be recognized as such, and refuse to let me go by my chosen pronouns (they, them) or new name, at least at home. Silver lining? They didn’t kick me out; I still get to live at home under certain requirements and conditions. Also, I told a few co-workers, and they support and accept me for who I have realized that I am :) I even got hugs!

I will be looking to change my legal name after I do eventually move out, simply because I don’t want to only be able to go by my new moniker half the time (cuz parents won’t let me use it at home). I don’t know how many people will accept the change (name or gender-wise), but I understand that I will never be accepted by everybody. Still, I can hope for at least a small group of supporters in my daily personal life, and that’s all I really need :)

[never-let-it-be-said]

Hi... I kinda need help.

So, long story short (and blunt), I recently came to the realization that I am trans. Like, I’ve been trans my whole life; I just didn’t KNOW I was. I didn’t even know what the term meant, and so I always thoughts I wasn’t. Now that I DO know what it means, I identify as trans and I’m not sure... well, basically my whole life is about to turn upside down and I don’t know what my first steps should be or how I should come out to anyone. I am physically (at the moment) female, and my birth gender is supposed to be female. Thing is, my brain and everything is male, to the point that I’m not okay with being female at all. My family is the religious sort of controlling, and I feel like I might get kicked out of my home if I were to tell my parents. I have nowhere to go if that were to happen, so I need to play my cards carefully, as it were.

What I really need right now is support. Like, reassurance that I’m not a bad person because this is just how I am. I was raised my whole life to think that being trans or gay was a bad thing, so I feel (because I am a Christian raised in a very religious home) that I am sinning by being who I am.

I’m not expecting to be accepted by my whole family (although I have come out to a few siblings and thankfully they accepted me), but I do need to tell them at some point. I’ve even made the decision to change my legal first name; I just haven’t done it yet. I guess my main problem is that I’m afraid of my parents’ reaction and the resulting backlash that I know will come.

So, if there’s anyone out there who is reading this and knows anything about it and what I need to do, please help me.
