so yeah. i established a persona that wears whatever ages ago. the only relevant steps in my coming out (in my city) are therefore name and pronouns. it is horrific. i don't want to talk abt myself or be the topic of any discussion. i like the anonymity here. but these people know me.

i just turned off notifications and spammed a few group chats.

... guess i'll burn my phone.


update: i'll survive. i had a good, long and agitated walking-around-in-the-flat-while-crying, then had a peak into the messages. had 2 really cool chats with ppl i hadn't talked to for a long while. the rest is a lot of emoji noise. which is nice, but i don't know what to do with that. it's the nice ones.

It'll be fine. As long as you didn't pick some really weird name, like Clematis.

    not that, but there is a potential for calling me pretentious, if i decided, to put the long version in my passport. :)

    Truth be told, I'm not out to anyone beyond my partner and a couple of friends, and I haven't picked a name. Im sure whatever you picked will be great! After all, you wouldn't have picked it if it didn't seem right.

    i am now pretty much stuck with it (the short form) there is no way i am doing this again, ever. at least no the public anouncement.

    i might come back to having a goth nsme. "hi, i'm misery, glad to meet you." :)
