Celebrating V-day as friends vs. Celebrating V-day as a couple

While I am a very proud dumbass himbo, the anon reminded me of all of my accomplishments and work that I have done in the past 11 years for myself

I talk a lot about therapy and mental health and healing from trauma. But this wasn't done in a vacuum. During my 11 year healing therapy journey, I also went to grad school, I was in grad school during a time of my life before I learned about coping mechanisms, before I could even call my abuse abuse, before I knew my gender, I started therapy and grad school at the same time

And from there, I got to study in Hong Kong, which was always a dream of mine. I cried swimming in the Pacific ocean because I never imagined that I could have gotten there and I did it with no parental support at 25. I worked for universities, I have met so many people from so many walks of life that I still talk with to this day. I have sat at dinner tables with foreign ambassadors, I have attended and hosted international conferences, I attended meetings with delegations from universities and governments from Honduras to Kazakhstan

My goal back then was to become a foreign service officer with an end goal of being a US ambassador before I was like nah fuck the government

I got my degree, I learned to drive, I have traveled. I healed and grew and became the Taylor I never thought I could ever be. I honestly never thought I would make it past 32 when I was younger, but this year I'll be 36. I love and am loved, I have a job I thrive in and flourish, I have my own apartment filled with bunnies and plants and trinkets. I am a man with art tattooed on his skin and a fat body that I used to hate and feel so ugly in but I love and cherish so much now. This is the confidence boost I needed, a reminder that if that's what I accomplished when I was at my most broken and hurt, then I can't wait to see what I can do now and in the future. I'm not that hurt girl anymore, but I see her and I love her and know that it was all worth it to be where I am now
