📣 ANNOUNCEMENT!

hi, hello! i've been sitting on making this post for a little over 2 weeks now and i've been sitting on making this decision of mine permanent for the better part of a few months, but with the support of some of the coolest friends literally ever i have decided to finally make this public! I HAVE DECIDED TO CHANGE MY REAL LIFE NAME 🥳! as of today i am publicly going by the name Juno!! and while it's not a legal change (yet), it's a change that has brought me so much joy since i decided to go through with it privately a few months back.

sharing details about myself online had always been a bit of a struggle for me because i've honestly never really been that happy with myself. from appearance to name to my gender identity, everything about me always felt wrong for the longest time and it really put me off from sharing anything about myself to even my closest friends. but all of that changed in december of 2023 when i finally decided to be true to myself and came out to a small circle of my friends then eventually the rest of the world.

looking at all i've done this year, the person i was a year ago would have genuinely thought this was an awful nightmare. not only have i openly proclaimed both my sexual (and lack thereof) and gender identity, but i've also become more open as an androgynous person and finally being comfortable enough to not only facecam stream, but do it without hiding behind a mask. i feel as though finally announcing to the world a name i've wanted to have & be called & go by pretty much all my life is finally shedding the last bits of self consciousness and hiding that i've convinced myself i need to hold onto.

while this is admittedly the one of the scariest things i've done, i'm pretty optimistic about everything and i've had nothing but the most supportive friends ever (even if it's gotten to a point where they've almost said it in front of people that didn't know 😭😭) and i couldn't have asked for a better group of people 🫶
