For the first time in years....yeah, I'm OK.
I've got my husband, and I've got in-laws who love me, and my friends and the members of my family who still talk to me recognize that I like having g small, quiet holidays so they haven't forced me to attend any huge superspreader events.
Tonight I'm buying ingredients for gingerbread cookies which I haven't made since I was like 7, and I'm going to make my dad's snickerdoodle recipe now that, after over a decade of tears and estrangement, he's accepted the fact that I'm trans.
Things are nice. They're not perfect, no, but they're nice.
Hey that’s awesome! I’m happy for you and I hope you have a great holiday and beyond!
I'd be interested in that snickerdoodle recipe if you feel like sharing :)
I'm glad you're doing better. Found family is still family, but it sure is nice when the one you're born into accepts who you are.
