Joseph Emerson

im 14 years old, a gemini, istp, i currently identify as pansexual romoflux and im trans. i am spiritual and im an oracle reader. i have two sisters, two cats, a dog, and my mom has 13 chinchillas.

i started drawing when i was 11, and have been ever since. i mostly draw figures from imagination, ocassionally from reference. ive kept 7 sketchbooks so far. i started digitally drawing on my ipod at 12 on the comunity app 'spraycan' and when i was 14 i began digitally drawing on my laptop mousepad, soon after getting a tablet. ive done mixed media art journaling, made duct tape crafts, metal jewelery, macrame, scrapbooking, embroidery and a lot of miscellaneous stuff here and there.

in april i was able to open an online shop to sell my creations, something id wanted to do since i was making duct tape wallets at 9, then scrapbooks at 12, and paintings at 13.

in august of 2015 my family packed up into a trailer to go live in the colville national forest without electricity or plumbing. leaving at the end of october, we moved back to the city and got wifi again in december. moving again in march to go buy property somewhere, in the middle of this process, we found a gutted out bus for sale and decided to renovate that to travel instead. weve always moved around a lot, and settling down didnt seem quite right.

ever since i was a toddler i would tell my mom "i shouldve been born a boy." in december of 2014 i asked my friends to refer to me as emerson, i wasnt sure of my gender, and i never cared much about pronouns. in march of 2015 my coming out was quite abrupt and forced, i still wasnt sure of my gender, but my mom insisted i "choose one: boy or girl" and although i didnt feel much like either, i knew i wasnt a girl. she wasnt very happy with my decision, but she eventually got used to it and now calls me her son very often and says she feels like its always been that way. in march 2015 i got my first masculine haircut, and i was able to start appearing masculine.

i have struggled with some self-harm, depression, and anorexia. after becoming enlightened, my situation drastically changing, living healthier, being surrounded by better people, and becoming sick of feeling bad i began realizing the beauty around me, and in myself, and started to feel much better- i am working on living a full, happy life.
