You inspire me so much. I've lived such a similar life to the one you've lived so far. We basically discovered ourselves at the same pace. I'm turning 19 soon and I'm looking to start T this summer. I can only hope that my life will end up as wonderful as yours seems right now. I've felt so alone and terrified and seeing you happy, surrounded by friends, and with a loving boyfriend makes me feel that there's hope. Thank you so much.
Mark, you are a truly inspiring and strong person. You've been through so much, yet you still managed to stay strong and smile through it all. You've given me hope, mate.
I love these kinds of video's, they honestly help a lot, make me realize I'm not alone. I've been questioning my gender identity sinse 5th grade and just came out to my mom as a guy in my mind and have been identifying with a male name by myself for four years now... what sucks is I'm also bisexual... it's like, want to add one more thing to the crazy person? You're so awesome, so strong, and I give you whatever support I can with a smile, because you're amazing, bro. (and hot too) :P
@RyaNmcCoy2011 I recommend writing a letter about how you've been feeling, how you indetify, your plans for transition and what people can do for you (name, pronouns, etc).
@DylanJamesAkaSavD we are :) we live together in Toronto, he just had his birthday and we had an excellent party for it and then fell asleep to princess bride.
Continued - Though I can't identify with your story personally, I know what a struggle being different is, and see a few of my friends in you and vice versa. I hope your life continues sail uphill.
This was absolutely beautiful, I started to cry when Blackbird started :P I've sent your channel to some friends of mine who I hope watch every one of your videos, I only watched a few. I hope you enjoy your life in Toronto! I'm headed downtown tomorrow with my amazing boyfriend and your Exploring Time video has made me even more excited. I'm from Oakville which is just 45 minutes south of Toronto, and I have plenty friends in the GLBT community that go to Sheridan College.
Hey Mark, you are just my age. Now that we're really young, we some times overlook the importance of family. Even when the whole world ditch on you, the only people left is your family members. I hope you would go back to them. :)
I love these time lines people do, they are like the best things ever to watch so thanks for making it! Loved it! I almost cry every time I see people reach where they want to be, stupid testosterone makes it hard to though, hehe.
This montage is even better than the first timeline you did! It's great that you can look back and see all the good things as well, despite what happened.
Looking at your older pictures from when you were younger, I dont see you in them at all. You have become a completely different person, its unbelievable.
You become a true butterfly in all the ways one can become one. Knowing who you really are and being who you are is wonderful. I remember falling into a big depression before I came out. I was so scared on how people would see me and if they did see me different would it really be that bad. I am now happy who I am and I am ok with not being just like everyone ells but I also see that being true to me is the top thing for me to do. I also think it is lovly your bf's family is so nice. Fly true:-)
