Today was very relaxing, went out and played card games with some of my friends. It had been a couple of months since I was last able to do that with them. I also figured it would be a good time to let them know about my changes. They took it well, and after answering a few questions, it was like nothing changed (just the way I want it), we just continued with what we always do, laughing, joking, having a good time. At the same time, I was having a good conversation with a friend in both Nebraska and in Ohio (both of which know of my situation and are awesome about the whole thing. I love all my friends, because they understand what I am going through and care for me and vise versa. I consider myself extremely lucky.
Ever since I told my Mom, I feel as if I don't have to hide anymore. I feel free to be who I am without prejudice, and I think it is showing more and more every day. I am going out more as who I am inside, and that makes me happy. I think everyone I know, has said this to me, "Is it going to make me happy?" and all I can say in return is, yes it is and thank you. Thank you for being there everyone!
You realize of course the friend in Ohio is only temporarily in Ohio right? :-) She's really a mountain girl at heart and as soon as she is able she's coming home right? She'll still think you're awesome when she moves though. :-)
