I hate self portraits and I hate looking at myself. What I see when I look in the mirror (one would hope to god) is not what other people see when they look at me. I tried to draw myself a little more true to what I actually look like instead of playing into everything that is wrong with me, which is what I normally do. The quote is from “The Swimming Pool Song” by Laura Jane Grace. I’m trans (clearly) so the statement “I have not yet become all that I’ll be” resonates with me not only as a younger person mentally, but as someone who is still physically changing more than the average person my age.
