#it’s probably also super nonsensical because I wrote it at like 2am one night and didn’t edit it at all lol

“What does it mean to be a man?”

This is my first time attempting a comic… I don’t think I did a very good job, but I at least wanted to try it out because this is something I’ve wanted to share and talk about…

I’ve been thinking a lot about my past and future recently, especially as it revolves around my identity… and my health.

I never thought I’d make it to 20, especially not in the environment I grew up in. But I did it. I made it.

You can make it, too. Despite the things you hear, despite the way you’re treated. If you’re true to yourself, if you’re honest, if you’re able to come to terms with who you are… it’s because, somewhere, deep down, you want to live. You want to be happy.

So do that.

My transformation and transition was about survival so that I could see a day in which I was happy and comfortable and content, despite what I’ve been told and what has been done to me. I deserve it. I’m worth it.

I’m excited to be able to someday find that in myself and believe it a hundred percent.

I’m excited to live and finally feel alive.
