I stay fascinated by the moon. I really like how the phases signify life on Earth. I had no concept that afterward in life, the moon would signify so many chapters of my life. The moon adjustments phases however, in essence, stays the identical. This has occurred in my life as properly.
On the date of my delivery, the moon was a waning gibbous, which represents a section of rebirth, mockingly. I used to be the primary boy and solely baby in my household. My mother had all the time dreamed of being a mom. She had me after each my dad and mom struggled with fertility. After I used to be born, my mother had my two brothers and sister. I grew up all the time figuring out I used to be completely different from different boys my age. I liked dolls, dressing in my mother’s garments and being the mother in the home. I received bullied for this stuff. Individuals checked out me and thought, “Why would a boy like women’ stuff?” I by no means knew what made me completely different, I all the time felt like I used to be a half-moon. This modified once I realized that I used to be a lady. Lastly, I used to be a full moon.
My life was good after I got here out. We moved out of our small city the place I remained hated for being who I used to be. My household and I misplaced many individuals near us on my journey. I lastly lived in a city the place no one knew my previous and didn’t fear about it. I used to be accepted in a group the place there have been different transgender youth. I had an enormous group of buddies in my new elementary college the place all the women supported me.
I by no means knew what this sense was – I had by no means had this sense earlier than, the sensation of acceptance. To this present day everybody who supported me continues to be by my aspect, and all of the individuals who weren’t have moved on with out a drawback. They made the choice to remain in outdated phases, however I am shifting on. It is my life, and I’ve no drawback being who I’m. I’m me and that’s sufficient.
Lots of people want they might change their previous. The moon retains going by extra phases, leaving the outdated ones behind. Our life historical past is essential, so do not return to a section the place you assume your life would wish to alter. I might by no means wish to return and be born a lady although typically I want I used to be so I may expertise extra. I might by no means have been in a position to face all of the challenges I’ve. By no means try to leap again to a section to alter who you’re. Transfer on, and reside within the new, current section.
