✨Snippet of memory from the beginning of my relationship with my GF ✨
Before my gf openly identified with herself or me as trans, i loved her.
Not the version of her she tried to be but the version of her i could see she truly was.
I drove 4 hours to see her in person, i remember stopping at several stores to find the right color roses because her favorite color is pink. Just before i got to her place i pulled over in a nearby parking lot and like a mad woman started fixing everything about myself.
I plucked my face hairs, touched up my appearance and hair and made sure i smelled good.
Then i saw her, like a light went off in my heart.
It was fireworks from the MOMENT i laid eyes on her.
She seriously is so beautiful that visual descriptive words, for me, always fall short.
She's Beautiful in EVERY sense of the word.
Right away it was intense but soft and sweet.
I said "I love you" first, shocker to no one i am A MAJOR SAPPY LOVESICK WOMAN.
And one of the best moments from that first week was right away i did her make up.
Almost immediately i noticed something i became determined to change, she didn't like looking in the mirror... i knew that face. Everytime she'd catch her own reflection she'd reluctantly look then quickly look away...
It broke my heart in a million ways,
Then i saw how after i did her make up it changed...
She lingered for a little longer...
It was in that moment i knew it didn't matter what i'd been through or what i had to do... i wanted to do everything i possibly could to see her light up like that again.
I never thought i'd ever meet someone like her and i tell her all the time that i really am so so lucky that i did.
