    My week was emotional but good! I finally came out to my brother as trans. I was so scared for his reaction.

    I prepared a letter, I read it out loud to him half crying and I noticed he had watery eyes too. When I finished reading he hugged me 🥰 and said he just want me to be happy and I felt soooo relieved. Afterwards I received a very thoughtful and supportive message from his gf, who I told him could tell too later. This helps me so much with accepting myself for who I am.

    I also baked a cheese cake and some french pastries for an Easter brunch at my mom’s. The brunch was great!






  • I had dinner with a couple of old close friends. I wasn’t ready to tell them about me yet. The whole dinner just felt weird not being able to talk about it.

    I didn’t know how to act: myself or pretend and I felt a bit sick going back and forward between them. It was good to see my friends but the whole thing was just exhausting.



  • Hiya! This week I wrote the letter for my brother, which I’ve been dreading to write, with in it everything I want to tell him. He means a great deal to me, but he makes casual transphobic and homophobic comments. And some are super disrespectful.

    I shared the letter with my mom (who knows, and is incredibly supportive 🥰) and she started crying and that made me cry just like when I wrote the letter 😭 She said it was great and contained everything. She’s so sweet, I love her so much!

    Now I still have to pick a moment to read the letter to him and I’m scared. I’m scared for his reaction.

    In other news, I started saying to myself that “I’m a woman” instead of constantly questioning it and it may seem dumb but it feels so good and fills me with confidence! 😊 I also started trying out my new name and it feels so right! I can’t stop giggling from happiness when I read it
