Hiya! This week I wrote the letter for my brother, which I’ve been dreading to write, with in it everything I want to tell him. He means a great deal to me, but he makes casual transphobic and homophobic comments. And some are super disrespectful.

I shared the letter with my mom (who knows, and is incredibly supportive 🥰) and she started crying and that made me cry just like when I wrote the letter 😭 She said it was great and contained everything. She’s so sweet, I love her so much!

Now I still have to pick a moment to read the letter to him and I’m scared. I’m scared for his reaction.

In other news, I started saying to myself that “I’m a woman” instead of constantly questioning it and it may seem dumb but it feels so good and fills me with confidence! 😊 I also started trying out my new name and it feels so right! I can’t stop giggling from happiness when I read it

That's a huge step in the right direction. Hope it all goes well!

Yesterday I had my consultation appointment for laser hair removal. Their office was very cute and smelled nice and full of really really pretty girls, even though the appointment went well I had this massive surge of imposter syndrome and had to stop myself crying in the waiting room! And then I went home and made myself a burger that I had been looking forward to, but it ended up being a bit bad.

So my week has been kinda mixed! 😂

You did it. Congratulations!!!!

That's shitty with your burger...might have to find a better recipe and have a better one next time to celebrate.
