This piece is titled Growing Like a Weed. It’s a reflection on the growth I have had over the last 5 years as I medically transition. It depicts me injecting my testosterone while various flowers grow out and over me. It’s a reminder to myself now, and my younger self, that I have put in so much work tending my personal garden of life. I would share with my younger self to stick around and stick it out, keep fighting for myself, and to keep growing. Because knowing what I do now, I’d be able to tell myself that it was all worth it.
