Why was I born like this?
Why are my features so masculine?
Why I can't grow my hair long?

Depression and Dysphoria all the time...

I don't know what to do.

Free from any personal interest.
Your Pink Panther will stay unbreakable.
Grandma... Farewell.

And just be proud to be yourself. Holding all of your own qualities, virtues, flaws, mistakes... Carrying on your own story, because you're the only one who can write it and decide by yourself which way you'll go for the rest of your life.
Don't be afraid of taking risks. Bet on it. Let yourself be able to feel and to care. Put some life into your guts.
Let pride be your gas, and don't min
