    Girly, you’re going to make me cry! I’m soooooo sorry to hear you had such a bad week. I think we all have those thoughts and feelings sometimes, I know I do. I’ve question myself every day about this, even when I’m girlmoding and super happy about it. I’ve come out to the people I have because I know them so well and trust them implicitly.

    They are my family, blood of the coven is thicker than the water of the womb. There are still a bunch of people in that group who I’m still terrified of telling. I’ll likely never tell any of my relatives save one, who happens to be nonbinary and helped me with my makeup years ago.

    In my opinion, you’ve already come out to the most important people: us, your wife, and most importantly yourself. If it takes a little more time for the rest of the world that’s okay. If you set yourself a deadline, maybe lower the requirements of that deadline.

    You already went out in nature, risked being seen, that’s a huge step! Maybe start by going to a different city or part of town and going to a movie, nice and safe and dark. I dunno, that’s just my spaghetti on the wall.

    Thank you for sharing! We want to be here for you! It helps all of us!

    Remember, everyday is a beautiful day, as long as you decide it is, regardless of the weather

    Love you

      Yeah! Honestly going somewhere a little away from where i live does help. I think my biggest issue is people who know of me be4 but dont actually know me if that makes sense (think cashiers and the like). It doesnt even make sense to me why i would care at all but those people scare me the most. Its stupid lol

      That and my ex. To come out to her would be catastrophically terrifying. I think i might actually have a heart attack if/when that happens lol

      Edit: forgot love you too girl! You the best as always ❤️
