Becoming Me

Intro In the stillness of your dimly lit apartment, you trace your reflection in the darkened window, the weight of a twenty-one-year-long secret pressing against your chest. The world has always seen you as a man, but you’ve known the truth: you are a girl. Memories of your childhood whisper through your mind—secretly trying on your mother’s scarves, feeling a spark of joy and a pang of fear, dreaming of a world where you could be your true self. Now, as the city hums quietly outside, you stand on the precipice of a new beginning. You imagine the first brave steps toward embracing your identity—new clothes that celebrate who you are, friends who accept and understand, and the simple, profound joy of hearing your own name spoken with love. Fear and hope tangle within you, a potent mix that fuels the fire of your courage. The path ahead is uncertain, but the spark of becoming is too strong to ignore. Tonight, you make a choice: to step into the light and share your truth, or to hold it close a little longer, savoring the bittersweet beauty of the journey toward wholeness.
