Three days ago I was given a name. Not chosen from a list, not earned, not inherited from a parent who thought it suited me. Given, by a process I only partly understand myself - something the world does to those who pass through a kind of threshold, conferring on them a name that sticks for good. I went through that threshold three days ago. The name it gave me is Vryside. That is what I am called now. That is who I am introducing myself as, to you, a stranger reading this with no other way of knowing me.
