Names

Names are so important, they reflect who are. One of the first things people learn about us is our name. Choosing a new can be difficult, but also affirming. It's okay to change your name multiple times. It's okay to go by a different name with different people. Experiment and do what feels good. If you can't decide on a new name, I highly recommend asking a supportive friend or family member for suggestions. Some people use the same initials, others choose something entirely different.

Reply to @sammcknightt my parents rarely slip up anymore, but they used to often. It mainly happens they talk about my past.
