My week was pretty good! I posted about it, but I came out to my mom a few days ago and it went pretty well. She sent me a very sweet message last night to let me know that her and my dad will support me however I choose to live my life, and that they love me dearly. Feeling very good about that.

Now that I have told everybody imoortant in my life, I'm feeling free in a way that I haven't previously. I'm living Unchained™, pretty cool.

Also me and some friends went and got gel nails this week, and they look lovely! Got my brows waxed, too. A good week indeed.

Hope you all are having a great one, as well!

Sounds like a great week and a huge step in your gender journey! Glad it all went well and your parents are making an effort to repair their relationship with you.

Thank you! Yeah, it has certainly removed a looming anxiety from my life. Feels good to be able to talk with them about what's really going on with me, and not have to filter anything out.

I hope you had a good week, too!

I was going to come out during the super bowl party my sister was holding, because a quorum of my family was going to be there. Next opportunity is an Easter party my sister is holding, which is in one week from today. So I'm excited/nervous/trying to figure out what I'm going to say.

Hopefully this time it'll work out! Good luck.

I started singing clases this week, it was a disaster but hey we all start somewhere I had been planning what to do next week as I was told I'll have vacations but uh not anymore :,)

I'm not too mad about it will get vacations soon either way and I wanted to join some group activities to meet people suggestions are welcome

Hello fellow singer 👋🏻. You'll definitely get better as you keep practicing. The voice is an instrument just like any other.

Why did they suddenly take away your vacations? Do you know if it's legal or against company policy to do so on such short notice? That's really shitty.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Oh I work for my father, family business stuff we didn't have work he was saying we could ditch this week not official vacations.

Thanks for worrying <3

I see. Looks like I misread 😅

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Uuuugh, i've been on-call and put in like 70 hours. I'm so tired. XD

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I hope you get to take the fattest nap of all time in the comfiest of beds after your shift

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Here's hoping!
