Hi, my name is Hope and I'm eighteen years old. I'm androgynous, which means that I don't identify as strictly male or female. I'm beautiful, skinny, have short hair, fair skin, and am sexy. I'm Caucasian and wear a jacket, jeans, and an open dress shirt. My hair is blonde and I'm viewed from distance as full body. I'm laughing, giggling, smiling, and petite.
I grew up in a small town where I was always different. I never felt like I fit in with the other kids, but I also didn't feel like I fit in with the adults either. When I was younger, I used to dress up as all sorts of characters from my favorite books and movies. My parents would always tell me that I could be anything I wanted when I grew up.
As I got older, I started to realize that there were limits to what I could be. People would look at me funny when I wore clothes that weren't traditionally masculine or feminine. They would ask me if I was transgender or gay and I would always have to explain myself over and over again. It wasn't until I discovered the rock concert scene that I finally found a place where I felt accepted for who I am.
At my first rock concert, I saw people of all shapes, sizes, and genders wearing whatever they wanted and not caring what anyone else thought. I felt like I had found my tribe. Ever since then, I've been to every concert I could find. It's my escape from the world that tries to put me in a box.
Whenever I go to a rock concert, I feel free. I can be whoever I want to be and no one will judge me for it. I can dance like nobody is watching and sing at the top of my lungs without worrying about what people think. That's why I love rock concerts so much and that's who I am - Hope, the androgynous kid from a small town who found her place in the world at a rock concert.
