I’m getting help (a thank you)

There’s not really an “other” tag option, so I just had to pick one. I’m sorry mods.

A few days ago I posted how I “found out” I was lesbian after 30 years of pushing it down thanks to someone showing up into my life. No updates on that front, unfortunately, but there has been some serious self reflection and life changes on my part.

For one thing, I’m feeling secure enough that I can post this to my main account and not be scared to. If it gets found, well, im planning to approach my family about things in January anyway (we have other major family events currently and I don’t feel like stirring the pot RIGHT beforehand). Itll give me time to think of what I want to say and plan my next moves for if things don’t go well.

I’ve discovered I’m basically in the final stages of getting rid of who I was taught to be as a person, and coming in to who I actually am. To the point that I’m also saving for another thing I’ve always wanted to do: I’ll be getting my first tattoo in January as well. 😊

In the meantime though, I can tell I’m going to need help. So I’ve gotten myself a gender/sexuality affirming therapist and I start seeing her next Wednesday. We’re going to work through my childhood trauma, current realizations, and just kind of allow me to come into me without losing my mind to anxiety in the process. And it all started thanks to the support from you guys. ❤️ I don’t know what will happen with the crush I have, should things develop outside the office I’ll be sure to let you know. But either way I am looking forward to seeing who I become. It’s about damn time I came into me.
