Just a random guy from Finland. Yo.
Today seems like a good day to update my information alltogether. I was just browsing through old art and writings, and it made me realize how MUCH I've grown over the past 3 years. Well, yeah, I have a solid reason for all of it - mainly being a transgender male and going trough transition. Geez, what a trip it's been.
If art was ever important to me, it was during these times. From being a 16-year old gender confused female, developing into a 19-year old female-to-male transgender hoping and dreaming of a future, I've grown into who I am today. A 23-year old male, who fits in quite nicely with the crowd.
I found some old pictures of me, naturally. I'd like to post some of them in an artistic way, but I have yet to figure out how to do it. I'm not sure if I was ever open about my past before in dA, but I feel like I'm in good enough company to tell you the truth; I used to be a female. I used to be in a lot of pain. I used to suffer waking up each day - and that's why I did arts a lot more before. It was something that distracted me from my own misery.
Since I've grown into a balanced, happy and healty guy, I feel a lot less need to do art. I'd like to, even really desire to, sometimes... But it's just a lot harder than before. Maybe I'll develop new styles - who knows.
It's all a part of growing up.
PS: Anyone interested in what being a transgender is like, or needing some peer support - I'm here for you, just send me a message. I've kept this hidden for way too long. It's about time to speak out.
Thanks, and lots of love to you all.
