Chosen name update: he who was once Kai is now Bhahari. Bhahari (bah-ha-ree) is Shona meaning "lake" or "large body of water". If y'all didn't know , I'm Shona from Zimbabwe and thought it would be cool to honor my heritage with my chosen name. Shona names are pretty cool too because almost all of them are gender neutral and can be used by whatever gender.

@electricblue one of my friends told me that you can have as many names and versions of yourself as you want in your lifetime.

@Kai oooh i really love that...

sometimes it feels like reinvention, but other times it feels like "living a lie"...maybe changing how you portray yourself is always like that at first. especially if it's coming from something deeper

@electricblue I feel like that too sometimes, but that "living a lie fear" may also be just fear of the unknown and trying something new.
