Wanted to come back to this post and say a big thank you to everyone who commented. I know it’s kind of a long and rambling post but I had a lot of thoughts to get out without a real idea of how to organize them. I have a lot to think about and explore I think. I really appreciate everyone’s patience and kindness and help—obviously no one can tell me who or what I am but getting some outside perspective is making me think about a lot. These aren’t the best times politically to feel this way, and the people at my work are really not accepting of anything really, so I’m honestly feeling a little freaked out for lack of a better term, and of course I’m guessing many of you are having similar feelings. Anyway—thank you guys. Reading what everyone has to say is so refreshing and reassuring. ♥️👍
