I used to think I was s t r a i g h t and c i s How did I not realise that I wasn’t-
So I am biologically female, just to point that out. Any time a good-looking woman was onscreen, my mind just instantly thought “hnnngggg she’s pretty”. But I knew I liked guys too. I thought looking at girls and thinking they were reeeeaaaalllyyy cute was pretty normal for straight girls. And then, in 2019, I got a major crush on my straight friend, who’s a girl. I was pretty confused, I said “y’know, thinking about it, everyone’s cute. Maybe I’m bi or something,” cuz I didn’t know pansexuality exists. And then I saw NB folk, and GC folk, and everybody else, thinking “they are beautiful holy crap” and I became confused AGAIN and done a bit of research. Found out what pansexuality was, questioned for a bit and came to a conclusion; I am pansexual. Turned out my half-sister was pan too so I guess that helped the coming out process.
Then, right afterwards, I started having a gender-identity crisis. I realised that I never really felt like a girl. Yes, I did wear feminine clothes sometimes, but being called “Molly” and people using She/Her pronouns made me feel... weird, i guess?? So I came to my first conclusion that I was a trans guy. I told my friends first but my parents found out via texts on my phone. They refused to think so, and continued calling me by my birth name and stuff. To cover it up, in summer 2019, I said that I was genderfluid, cuz I had another crisis but then realised that I was not genderfluid. I continued to identify as a trans guy. Fast forward to 2020, in quarantine, I start having yet another crisis, and stress about it a lot. I was very confused, but, in the end, I said that I’m non-binary. I came out to my dad, who doesn’t exactly know about non binary people and others like genderfluid, bigender and such, and I said that I wanted to change my name. He looked at me and said “If you chose to be non binary, then why don’t you keep the name Molly.” That made me sad. And uncomfortable. Then I told my mum, who said it’s fine that I’m non binary. I didn’t tell her about me wanting to change my name though. My friends call me Antonie, and I have three nicknames that they’ve gave me; Ant, Antie and Toni. My friends say it suits me :)

Happy 30th Anniversary to a film that had a massive impact on my life.
I truly believe that this film was the push I needed to follow my passion. That may seem silly to others. “It’s a film, you can’t base your life around it”. That is 100% true. However, I didn’t base my life around it. This film inspired me to pursue the life I had already been longing for. (My phone call from God?)
As an English Literature major in her Sophmore year of college (on nearly a full ride honors scholarship), this movie has stayed with me over the years. I hope someday that I can inspire young people like Keating inspired the boys. The movie carries so many important messages about the importance of expression through writing, finding your own interests, and standing up for yourself. I believe that every student and their parents should see this film at least once.
So, to the Dead Poets Society-
Thank you for all you’ve inspired me to become. In the film, Mr. Keating says “words and ideas can change the world”. I know that the words and ideas in this film helped change mine.
Thank you for giving me the push I needed to wholeheartedly pursue my interests, regardless of what others say, or what paycheck it brings. I promise that when I’m an English professor someday in the future, this film will be used in class.
CARPE DIEM.

Please tell any of your epileptic friends to avoid clicking this for their safety!! please spread the word!!!
Sorry, I could never be a capitalist, I suffer from “wanting humans to have their basic needs met” disorder, where I care about people who aren’t me.
