Howdy everyone. I got some...unfortunate news.

As some of you know who follow my drawing account on Instagram, I'll be taking a break from posting art. This also includes posting my writing here.

For further information, and I will be answering any questions in the comments on both the page and this chapter, here is the link to my post:

Or just look up _dj.orange_ on Instagram, my pfp is Haidya

For those of you who can't access Instagram I'll give you the rundown:

At 2:59 AM this morning (it is 5:34 AM, no I have not slept nor do I plan to), my best friend had sent me screenshots from a group chat with people from our school. It contained...transphobic things directed at me (I am not in this group chat). The people who were texting were three boys, one of my exes (also a boy), and a girl in a year younger than all of us (she does tik tok so they let her in). I didn't cry. I can't, not over this. I emailed my principal and I'm going to tell my parents tonight...hopefully if my dad can get off of work early enough...
Geez, I don't know how they are going to react, I'm going to have to come out as trans (I had come out to them as genderfluid but... this was in 2016 and I am no longer comfortable with feminine pronouns)

I'm scared, but... I'm hoping everything will be okay.

I truly apologize from the bottom of my heart for this. I just need time.

To all my fellow trans folks, you are all valid, let no one tell you otherwise.

I love you all, no homo, no hetero, no pan.

Hopefully when the summer comes, I'll be back, that's the shortest time I think it'll be...
