i have an idea. it's called: growing. i think i used to write only when i was sick and then i started getting better and worried i was getting too good to create i went through a long grieving process with my depressed art i thought i would never pick up a pen again i thought i would stay sober and flare up free for a while well, looks like i'm wrong about a lot of things i started testosterone since i got better i have a doctor appointment next week in which i will ask about top surgery, upping my dose, and moving forward with a name change i've grown, god **** but i've fallen too. i've grown so much i lost my roots but i've grown so much i learned to plant new ones i learned that sobriety doesn't end when you're ill it actually begins at that moment you know you are so much better than that. and wow kid, you had a birthday. and you had a good thanksgiving and you picked up a pen and drew. and here you are writing ******* word after word afterword. you're doing it. and you're going to continue to do it. i love you.

so i guess growing is cool, you sometimes forget your roots, but you always come back to the fact you can plant new roots of things that helped grow the original ones.
