    Questioning
    Initially I was planning to go to England for half a year this summer. Then all this trans related stuff happened and I started worrying. I actually didn't thought it would be possible to make it happen.
    But things have changed and so has my opinion.

    1. I'm not actually sure anymore that I am trans
    2. My mom probably won't let me get t before I'm 18 anyways
    3. I feel quite depressed in my current surroundings and circle of friends
    4. My birth name is Finnie, so I could just say my nickname is Finn without people minding
    5. I don't mind too much about pronouns; she, he, they, I don't really care
    6. I see it as a way to start from scratch, without worrying about how my current behavior might upset people that still see me as how I used to be.

    Things to bear in my mind:
    -I'm not that outgoing
    -I feel really insecure around strangers (especially strangers my age)

    Do you think it is a good idea?
