Unfortunately, although I wanted to hand-draw every illustration, I no longer have the time, energy, or ability (or money...) to commit. Hence, I will rely on AI for now. The last time I was serious about drawing and art was 20 years ago! I would like to pick up drawing again, yet my ADHD brain needs to see quick results to stay motivated.
Anyway, like many trans people, I came to a point in my life when I finally cracked my egg, though this happened much later in life for many reasons. Raised Catholic (#recoveringcatholic), in a very misogynistic and patriarchal society, my real self had to hide very deep, so much so that I lost her for many, many years. Unfortunately, I did not have the vocabulary to describe what I was feeling and experiencing throughout my childhood and into adulthood. Yet, I have been in therapy for almost a decade now, which helped me begin to let go of guilt and shame and accept my feelings.
I am an avid anime fan, and for some reason I did not fully comprehend at the time, I especially enjoyed watching gender-bend series, which at one point felt like a guilty pleasure.
It all began when I went to visit my folks during summer break, in a small town where there is not much to do except binge-watch anime the whole time.
This is where it all began...
