@AzulCrescent ah yes, the struggle to find your own identity... Hard for every teen but I imagine it's especially hard if you're trans.
@AzulCrescent Can you not be yourself? Even if you decided to not be yourself, that would be being yourself by not being yourself. And so you would fail being yourself by failing not being yourself. And so then you would succeed a being yourself as you intended to not be yourself in the first place. So the moral to the story is be yourself so you don't have to solve this quandary.
@AzulCrescent I once proudly told some friend I could sit with my legs to the side like a anime girl. I didn't process at the time how trans that was (and cringe, but teenagers are like that)
@AzulCrescent that's what I like about the Delphi oracle inscription, "Know Thyself"
Turns out it's a pretty hard question to answer, often times

1) 10 Years Ago: An exasperated boymode Azul talks with a friend (represented in teddy-bear shaped form). "You know, I really don't like the advice 'Be Yourself'," Azul says while making air-quotes. "Like, I'm not sure I even know 'myself' well at all so it's completely useless."
2) Now: Azul in front of a trans flag, deep in thought and chuckling to herself. "That was pretty funny in retrospect. I should make a comic about it lol"
