I haven’t seen my family in over six months. Part of me wants to show them who I am now, part of me is terrified of it…
I’m an adult, with my own home, my own choices, etc… But a little approval and an “I still love you” would be nice to hear after she see me.
about the terrified part. what i noticed is that the feeling goes away overtime at least for me, days turn to weeks the weeks turn to months and then finally months turn to years. ive been hiding myself for so long that at this point i dont care about people’s reaction. i tell them and they either go away or stay. its just delaying the inevitable because it has to happen at some point, so my reasoning after hiding all this time is, why wait? it will happen one way or another and it’s better if it happens earlier. good luck vera, whatever you do
Pro tip don’t expect anything, accept the possibility you may not get what you want :(
