Work has been going okay. I'm (unfortunately) getting back into Runescape, so that's been my main method of passing the time both in the slower parts of my shift plus my weekends. I'm getting coffee with my big sister this coming weekend and, barring any last-minute hesitation, I intend to come out to her. I don't know how she'll respond, but she's always been the one person I can go to with stuff that I don't feel comfortable talking to my parents about, so I have my fingers crossed.
I hope she supports you!
I hope so, too. I'm also hoping that she'll help me with makeup and shopping because I'm clueless. 😭
I'm wishing you the best regardless of what you end up deciding to do.
Thank you 💜
Hey! How'd things go? Hoping you had a really great time with your sis
Hey! I was waiting for the next weekly update thread to come up, but I think Alyaza is otherwise occupied. Things went better than I ever could have hoped. She's completely accepting. Shoot, she might even be more excited about the whole thing than I am!
She said she'd probably have a lot of questions, which I'm obviously cool with. She loves the name I'm probably going to go with. She's down for clothes shopping, but I'm on my own with makeup because all she's ever used is mascara and eyeliner. What really got me was what happened the day after. We had Easter Sunday dinner at my mom's house. She showed up after I did, and she had a bag with her that she put in my car. I opened it when I got home to find that it was full of some of her old clothes + some extra makeup supplies. I genuinely couldn't have asked for more from her. 😭
I was too, but that's a huge step you took and I wanted to cheer you on! I'm so glad she's into it and so supportive, and her gesture on Easter is truly amazing and so respectful.
My wife is in the same boat, in that she really only does mascara and eyeliner, but she watches makeup tutorials from people like Trixie Mattel and practices when we don't have anywhere to go. I'm sure some other folks will be able to point you to other good resources as well.
Anyway, YAY and CONGRATS!
