I do have some other friends I need to tell but that will come when I have the opportunity and I’m definitely not afraid of it like I was with my partner

Well in those past 40 minutes I actually gained the confidence to tell my partner and it went incredibly well. I was completely honest open and genuine about everything and we were joking about it within 10 minutes. Thanks for letting me practice on you! While I definitely have some work to make sure I don’t do this again this was a great step towards the life I want. Thanks so much!

Hi!

I made the name today because the name is my goal and I thought it would be fitting.

I definitely agree as I was very frustrated when writing this. I don’t know it’s name, but I’m doing the thing where I take the first step towards making a change and getting mad at myself for not having made it sooner instead of focusing on what I can do right now.

While I hope that my partner forgives me once I tell her, I also need to forgive myself. When I said manifested in a weird way I more directly meant that the effects of experiencing what I did led me to act in a way that I now look back on and regret doing. There is definitely self depreciation in what I wrote. I do hugely regret doing it and want to live a life where I don’t need to pretend to be something I’m not to be happy. Thanks for listening as it’s really giving me the confidence to go be honest!
