My Story

Hiya,
      So, you're probably looking for some juicy details about a stranger's life. It is called a not-so-secret diary, after all.
         Truth is, I don't think my life is that entertaining. I'm just a bi-demi-romantic asexual trans-guy/nonbinary-questioning being, after all. Yeah... That's a mouthful I'll explain in my posts over time.

         From kindergarten to 12th grade, I attended private Catholic schools. Then after that, I went to a more progressive Christian college. Either way, I had limited knowledge of the LGBT community. My high school wouldn't even let us learn about the human reproductive systems in biology class. Just to give you a general idea.
         Granted, my college was at least more open and somewhat accepting of the LGBT community, even if they didn't understand it. Still, it took some books, some tv shows, and going down a YouTube hole around Pride Month for me to discover anything. My general idea beforehand was that gay people were gross, and if you were confused about your gender, the answer was when you looked down in the bathroom.
         At the time, I admit I laughed along, albeit confused and somewhat painfully. As far as I knew, there was only one classmate who was part of the LGBT community. Back then, it would have been great to know I was ace. The only thing I'm thankful for about being awkward and in a small Catholic school is that I didn't get into any relationships. Because if my ex-friends had their way, I most likely would have gotten myself into a lot of situations I would have regretted. They were probably well-meaning, but for me personally, it would have been bad.

          Leading on from that, before realizing the mouthful I said earlier, I'm also somebody who's got ADHD, anxiety, and depression. Yay!
          .....
          Yeah, it's not that great. And now, you can add on the awareness of recognizing gender dysphoria for what it is. To sum up, I got screwed over by the lottery of life. (I'm also short with formerly messed up teeth.)

          My story isn't over, clearly. So it's honestly hard to write this page. I've written everything relevant as of now. Well, other than everything about my wonderful and amazing best friend who also happens to be my boyfriend of three years now. Though to be fair, if I start talking about him, we'll be here forever because I love him so much. I'll probably mention him more than once throughout this blogging journey anyway.
          The plan is I post something every week, so keep an eye out.

See ya soon,
-Vic
