November Art Journal ( A happy memory from your life.)

This Art Journal has the sense of Belonging.

When I was growing up, I always felt different, and people saw it. They would make fun of me for not wearing dresses or skirts. They would make fun of me for not playing with Barbies, but instead, me being interested in Spider-Man and iron man. When I date guys I feel off, but when I’m interested in a girl, it just feels right. I was 13 years old, and I discovered the LGBQ+ Community. I did A LOT of research and came across the word Transgender. After a few months of scrolling through tik tok about trans people, it made me understand that “Hey. this is me!” I changed my name for the first time and wanted to tell my mom about who I truly was. But of course, I was scared. A few years later I finally built enough courage to tell my mom. I told her that she might want to sit down, and she did. I told her how I felt when I was younger and how it made me think as I got older and how it made me feel. She sat there in silence for a bit but then stood up and hugged me. I started to cry with joy and relief. She told me she was going to try her best o call me my new name and she was going to try to call me her son. Two years later I am now 17, and she calls me her son. I am Cooper, and I am Transgender 🙂

I belong in this community.
