I want to romanticize aging and getting to grow older, especially as a gay trans man because we haven't always been able/allowed to grow old.
That being said it does feel sucky to have to try to do that when I feel like I've only been alive for about 2 years. Due to a multitude of factors I only realized I was trans as as an adult and it's been night and fucking day. I spent over 20 years playing a part, playing the role of a girl and it all feels so fucking wasted. I spent so much time, so much energy trying to get being a girl right because it was made very very clear to me that I was doing it wrong every step of the way. I thought it was just because of my autism at first but realizing I couldn't be a girl right because I was a guy made everything fall into place. And it's been simultaneously the best thing that's happened to me while it also leaves a bitter, chalky taste on the tongue. Because it just makes it clear how much life I've been denied.
I was depressed, un-diagnosed for a lot of it, abused by people who were supposed to love me, and clueless to who I was.
I didn't get to be a child. I didn't get to be a little boy. I didn't get to be a teenage boy. I barely got to be a teenage girl- I was barely alive. I was simultaneously 'mature for my age' and 'childish'.
I never felt the age I was, every year went by too fast, I wasn't done being 16 by the time I turned 17 and I feel like I've been running behind ever since.
I want to romanticize getting older. But I overwhelmingly feel like I'm still playing catch-up for my teenage years and it's hard not to long for those experiences.

there’s no way of knowing how utterly terrifying it is being your truest self until it’s suddenly your reality and there’s no going back. it’s offering yourself up like a bug placed neatly beneath a microscope. like a deer caught in the middle of the road, the lights blaring closer and closer, wondering if you’re milliseconds from making it or not every moment of every fucking day. it’s almost invigorating. somewhere between obliteration and adrenaline, neither one or the other. that heaving breath after having woken from falling and crashing into your own bed. but there’s no relief. or if there is, i haven’t been lucky enough to find it yet.

ooh, fashion + dair if you’re still accepting prompts!!
Dair + Fashion
“Is this necessary?”
Blair’s head jerks up, arms crossed over her chest. “You’ve been in this world a while now, Humphrey. Did you seriously just ask me if a fitting was necessary?”
He shoots her a look from the block on which he stands (tailor’s, executioner’s, it’s the same to him). “I’m asking if it’s necessary for you to supervise the fitting.”
She flicks a hand at him with a tsk, crossing around to look at his outfit from another angle. “Of course it is. You know I hate it when people don’t dress to the theme. If I had my way –”
“Anyone not following the theme would be turned away at the door,” Dan finishes the sentence for her, already having heard her say so countless times. “Jen says it’s more the fault of the designers than the attendees, though.”
Blair narrows her eyes. “Then she should tell her colleagues to do better.”
He laughs. “I think you already have that covered, Waldorf.”
She shrugs, a smirk playing at her lips, then turns to Giacomo, Dan’s tailor for today, as he comes up next to her.
“I think we’re nearly there,” he says, thick-accented. “What are your thoughts on the crotch?”
“Oh, for the love of god,” Dan mutters under his breath, eyes rolling towards the ceiling.
