Notes

This is a badge I made while I announced my name for the first time to my girlfriend, who was also the first person to learn about it. I chose the name Kosma as it is a masculine Polish name, but it sounds quite ambiguous which is perfect. Kosme comes from cosmos. I can't wait to legally change my name
