i dont remember, aside from the last couple of months, when i was ever HAPPY. ive always been depressed. however, in the recent days, my depression has done everything it shouldnt. ive been angry, sad, lonely, nervous, bored, alone, unexplainable, unexplained, explosive, laughably ignorant, hateful, hated, devestated, and tearful. i know who i am. i am a transman. my name is emmett alexander james reed. i am a stunningly handsome young man. i am too nice for the average joe to handle. i am too honest for abe lincoln. i am short, fat, booby (haha boob), intelligent, well thougt out, and blonde (literally, not figuratively). i know all of these things, and i tell them to myself often. but, i just cant help but to feel sad. the other day, my mom and i sat in the living room, joking, laughing, watching television. luckily, she was turned away when suddenly, tears spurt from my ducts, leaked from my sockets, drained from my pupils. i turned away also, pretending to fidget with my phone, which isnt an unusual act for me, so i could make sure she didnt see. all the while thinking to myself, in my evershaping mannerisms "boys dont cry". within less than a minute, they were gone. not even enough came out to leave my hoops brimmed red.
i have been suicidal in the past. but to you, my friends, i say:
"i will not die just because i am ill-equipped to live."
i will also say, "that isnt the slogan i wanted to end with, but i couldnt remember the better one, so thatll have to do."
please do NOT do the "oh babe...we need to talk more.";"dont go off and do something crazy" bit. i just needed a pep talk for myself, and possibly for anyone who may be able to relate.
