Hi everyone, I'm new to this but I figured what do I have to lose. I came out as trans a few months ago. I haven't tried to get this transition going yet because I'm without a car and people around me have their own lives.
I feel so stuck here in Pennsylvania.
I grew up central PA where the majority is closed minded, now I'm still in the small areas around Pittsburgh. I recently graduated school and now I want to branch out and be a successful makeup artist/artist in general but I can't do it here. None of my art is selling, and I'm scared to even try to get a normal job. Mostly because I've been through this even when I identified as a gay boy, but what if I am just wondering too much, but I don't know I just am tired of feeling good enough. I want to move away and have a fresh start but how can I do that with no money? I don't know how much longer I can take this. 😖 I feel like a battery on empty trying. I just want to make art and make money but I feel like no one ttakes me seriously because I'm so early into my transition, voice is low an I still go by my birth name. It makes me feel rushed too like that I have to live stealth or something. That's not a bad thing obviously, we mostly all would rather not be questioned about our gender I just don't want to feel like it's a requirement to be "passable".
I'm going to stop there I feel like I'm just rambling now. If anyone has any suggestions to help me I'd appreciate it so much. Thank you to anyone taking the time to read this. ✌💖
