Hi human,
That' my third day blogging. (yay) ^^
I want to talk about the way a name can affect the way you and others seeing yourself.
In my life I've used many names, even before I knew I was gender fluid.
When I was young, I used to hate my dead name, so I tell people to call me by my second name (everybody still called me by my dead name). TwT
And after, I finish my year of *troisième, and I started a years in a new school way more open minded. People was calling me by my second mane. But the name was to feminine for my gender fluid ass, so I've try other names. And I lost my name. (and my identity too btw. we love teenage years lmao)
Idk, but it's like without name i can't be myself (that' probably dumb). But the things is your name gonna follow you for the rest of your life I don't want to fckup.
for now, I haven't been able to find my name .
it's not deep or important but i've wanted to talk about that.
*year 10 in France
I hope some peoples can relate o-O
Sorry for my grammar and my spelling. English is not my first language.
BYE
Daily question:
Have you ever judged someone's personality based on their name? If so, were you wrong?

Ugh yeah. I'm transmasc and that stage of knowing that the names you were given aren't yours but also you still haven't chosen a name are the actual worst. It's difficult to say it in a logical way, but one does feel like without a name you aren't really there. It's difficult. I did end up choosing a name but it took me like five years. I love it and it's just so me. Makes me euphoric every time someone calls me by it or I have to write it down or whatever. It's been like four years since I found it and it still feels like that.
Take your time, try out different names with friends and close people. You will have that eureka moment some day with some name. You are yourself and you have a name, you just need to find it. It will wait for you until you do.
If u wanna keep talking about it you can totally text me.
Thank you for sharing your experience and giving me advice. I'm reassured that I'm not the only one going through this. It was the first time I talked about it to others, so I'm happy to have a place where I can share this type of things.
I'm glad to hear you found your name after all this time. I hope I can find one that suits me.
