As I sit down to write this, I reflect on the journey that has led me to this moment—a path marked by self-discovery, challenge, and ultimately, peace.
Some time ago, I shared with the world that I identified as non-binary. It was a step that felt true to me then, as I navigated the complex waters of identity and self-expression. However, life is a tapestry of evolving experiences, and it’s in this complexity that we find our true selves.
Today, I share you with a heart full of gratitude and clarity. For a while now, I have come to understand that my identity aligns with the male sex I was born as. This realisation has not come lightly; it has been a journey marked by introspection and, at times, great mental turmoil.
In my moments of deepest reflection and challenge, I found solace in faith. Christianity opened its arms to me when I was seeking answers and comfort. It provided me with a foundation of strength and a community of support that has been unwavering.
This blog post is not just an announcement; it’s an expression of my sincerest gratitude for the patience and kindness shown to me by those who have walked alongside me during these times of change. It’s also a message of hope to those who may be struggling with their identity or facing mental health challenges—you are not alone.
My story is a testament to the power of personal growth and faith. It’s a reminder that it’s okay for our understanding of ourselves to change over time. And most importantly, it’s an affirmation that in every step of our journey, there is an opportunity for renewal and discovery.
As I continue on my path, I carry with me the lessons learned and the love received. To anyone reading this who is on their own journey: be kind to yourself, embrace your truth, and know that there is light even in the most unexpected places.
With warmth and gratitude
