Skyler and Katie.
They are two people, connected intimately, but two people.
Katie was a sweet girl, trying to do everything she could just to make those around her happy. She was unsure of herself and very afraid of what she was or wasn't. Something was always off, a piece of her puzzle was missing, one right in the middle so you can't even get the whole picture.
Enter Skyler.
He's Very much like Katie, in-fact you could say they were cut from the same tree. All the same interests, They look similar, act similar. Skyler is a little better dressed though. A little more self respect. He doesn't hate himself, not anymore. His life is scary, and the direction it's going in is unpredictable. They got very close. Skyler showed Katie things she's never dreamed possible, things she wouldn't accept as a part of her.
I'm those people. Katie is who I was born as, but she was just a place holder. Sometimes things work well and people live and learn easily. Sometimes they have to have terrible terrible things happen for them to learn. Sometimes you get a melting pot of issues. For me I grew up in a girls body and a boys mind. I was raised in a very loving and accepting atmosphere in regards to my personal life decisions. I never fear prosecution from my family, and I'm lucky for that.
I didn't hate being a girl. I don't hate it now. I don't hate Katie, I'm just not her anymore. She was beautiful, and sweet and kind to people. She was cute when she needed to be and smart when she needed to be. She didn't always fit in but it wasn't because of her it's because she didn't fit in with herself. That duality was always the fight against What her body was telling her she was, and what her heart really felt she was. She thought it was love so looked for someone that was perfect, and when she found him she was unhappy.
Now I know why. I'm not Katie anymore, I'm Skyler Theodor Blair Uberig, I'm a boy. A slight confusion in the womb. I made it here eventually though. The important part of this whole tangent is that it's important you know this.
I'm not Katie anymore. I'm Skyler. Or Theo. I like Theo more, it suits me. I don't hate Katie. She was my best friend and will constantly be the foundation on which the rest of my life proceeds.
I'm scared. Will this be permanent? I don't know. Maybe, likely. It feels right. I hope you guys like me. I like me. That's whats most important.
