There are a couple things I am certain of.
- I am certain that I am a drug addict. I will forever and always crave the thing that seeks to destroy me.
- I am certain that I do not want to be sober. I want to feel whole again. I want to be carefree and happy. I cannot do that without drugs.
- I am most certainly sure that I am in love. Her name is Hanna and she is the only thing that makes me uncertain of my first two certainties. I love her laugh I love her smile. I love the way she holds up her hands in pictures. I love that she always wears bucket hats. I love how she holds me. And whispers in my ear. I love her as a whole and that's for certain.
- I am certain that I was supposed to be born male. I look in the mirror with my hands on my chest. Trying to take away my woman hood. I was raised in a mostly female household. Taught how to walk at night. But since I could form memories I knew. I knew that this body is not my own. I cut my hair and I make my voice deeper. But still no one else sees it. But I am most definitely certain that I am in fact male.
Lastly but definitely not least I am certain that I am a writer. That the only way I can truly understand myself and others is through my fingers. Whether on paper or keyboard. I write and write. My fingers cramping but my mind continues. I have so many ideas. I am certain that writing is my passion.

This is really impactful. I especially love the line "Her name is Hanna and she is the only thing that makes me uncertain of my first two certainties." It forces the reader to go back to the first 2 statements and process what you said, but with a new perspective.
Wow thank you
