i crunched the numbers and i've been trying to be as Joe as possible for over half my life, at least consciously— lord knows i was trying well before then, too. i conceive of my child self as a boy not because he was treated as one but because the instances in which he could be one were when he was happiest, all those billions of years ago. in 2001, 2002 i felt and saw a brief flash of something while puberty fractured the timeline. between 2006-2009 i tried to and eventually found the words. started T in 2013. started changing my documents in 2014. changed my name again later. and then had surgery... in February 2025. lol.
i'm not even that old, really, but it does feel like it, clawing my way towards myself when no one wanted the same for me. as far as that goes, i regret nothing. but it's hard to come up with something big broad and uplifting! i've struggled not only to escape past abuse, but also financial insecurity, and treatment-resistant depression for most of my life, too. the things i make and do exist within and alongside this, or in windows of time where it's not as hard. i try to hope it's all been worth it. i hope i'll feel like it has been. i hope it won't always be so tiring. i hope for shelter and comfort and relief, time and patience, for me and you.
i didn't make The Vision of Escaflowne, but you can still watch it.
