A step forward
Today I accomplished something that had frightened me ever since I was 12. Something that was always in the back of my mind, eating away at me every second of everyday. I finally had the courage to come out to my dad.. the one person that I was afraid of talking to. After 7 years of being afriad and feeling like I was in the wrong, I finally got the courage and the strength to tell my dad that I indeed feel that I am transgender. I was nervous, scared and felt like I was going to pass out.. everything in my body had shut down and felt numb but I powered through it and I told him, and you know what? He was alot more calmer, accepting and understanding than I thought he would be. I know my family won't fully understand me and might not want to accept me but, overall I'm just glad that they still love ME. To some, this may be a small step.. but to me, it's one of the biggest steps that I am incredibly glad I took and for once I can say that I am proud of myself.
