My week was pretty good! I posted about it, but I came out to my mom a few days ago and it went pretty well. She sent me a very sweet message last night to let me know that her and my dad will support me however I choose to live my life, and that they love me dearly. Feeling very good about that.
Now that I have told everybody imoortant in my life, I'm feeling free in a way that I haven't previously. I'm living Unchained™, pretty cool.
Also me and some friends went and got gel nails this week, and they look lovely! Got my brows waxed, too. A good week indeed.
Hope you all are having a great one, as well!
Sounds like a great week and a huge step in your gender journey! Glad it all went well and your parents are making an effort to repair their relationship with you.
Thank you! Yeah, it has certainly removed a looming anxiety from my life. Feels good to be able to talk with them about what's really going on with me, and not have to filter anything out.
I hope you had a good week, too!
