It's tied to family

It's a part of me. My parents consulted the elders in my family and the initials for my middle name also link back to my parents. I've spent alot of life so far teaching people how to pronounce it and I refuse to give that level of effort up. My parents were cute in that way. I appreciate their intentions and will always feel very loved by it.

having a name that is impossible to pronounce upon reading it

back in school i used to help or hinder my teachers based purely on their first impression when they did the first registration call. they'd get to about the middle of the list and just pause. and i knew. i knew it was me. if good vibes - i'd raise my hand and put them out of their misery if bad vibes - nothing about my expression would betray my position even in the slightest. you would think i was under the impression that i have the most straighforward, easily pronouncable name in existence. and then i would make them guess. guess until they got somewhere close enough for me to go "oh, i think thats me?" good times

Transformation

My username for a long time was a play on my maiden name. I don’t want to share it here because y’all don’t need to know all of my identifying information but my last name essentially was two words that straight up said polluted water. SYMBOLIC AS HELL. Anyway… I was frolicking through the woods in the PNW and thought “I’m a lil mossy eflie!” And thus mossyelfie was born. Embracing my true nature untethered to generational curses 🌟
