A tale of a future

My future. My future is when I can write MSc. in front of my name. My future is when my name will lovingly share the nametag at the doorbell with someone else. My future is when you will find both those names on a birth card, being called the loving parents of … . Most of all my future will be when my name is legally my name and when my sex will legally by my sex. I know this last fact of my future will be fact in 2010, for sure.
The future. The future feels distant, although it contains so much happiness that I it to be the future now. The future can’t simply be now, for the largest part I will have to make it now. Graduate from university, finish the physical transition, fall in love, maybe even marriage, having children with her. This is all isn’t unthinkable, it is very very plausible that all of it will happen to me.
A future. A future which is now a future of one person, will be part of many persons future, friends, family, a partner, children. Many futures brought together and I will make sure to be part of all their futures. A future in which I will definitely encounter trouble, a future in which I will definitely encounter lots of joy.

I have a future, one which I will share with those whom I love and cherrish.
