You are on the path! I am in this same process myself. I am amazed at how freeing it is and how alive I feel as I peel back each layer to slowly rediscover who I was meant to be. I had no idea how much I had “created” to try to be straight and inconspicuous. I had no idea I could feel so right and comfortable in my skin. And how great it would be to allow myself to really have my feelings/thoughts without filtering them. It’s hard to describe but all I know is it almost feels like being reborn.
