I’ve sort of been live tweeting my day. and my experiences with stepping into myself.

it is sort of amazing. that i’m here. at this point in time.

i spent a lot of time afraid to be me. afraid to step outside and be vulnerable in this special way.

i went to a job interview today.

(not sure I’ll get it. not even sure I want it)

But i did the interview as me.

under my name.

dressed exactly how I wanted to be

(well… i would have prefered my red lip gloss and different shoes, but these are minor quibbles)

I want to thank everyone who has been there for me in the past two-ish years.

i’m not sure i would have gotten to this point, if not for all the awesome people i’ve met. all the love, care, and support i’ve been gifted.

i’m happy and elated right now.

i know things aren’t going to be easy. it never is for #girlslikeus.

but. but.

this is what freedom tastes like.

and i’m fucking greedy. i want more.

at the end of the day:

(and it has been too long since i remembered this)

being free is better than being safe.

but. fuck it. i want it all.

i look forward to creating a world where #girlslikeus

can be free

and

safe
