Last week I took myself to the Probate Court office in my city to file for my legal name change. Seven days later, I have in my possession 4 copies of the Name Change Order (2 certified). In the next few days I begin the process to change every document, account, etc listed in my former name.
I was expecting to feel stressed with regard to all the paperwork needing changed. In this moment, I am happy. In some ways, it feels like validation that it's okay to be me.
Anyway, I was so excited that I wanted to share. Hopefully everyone has a great day!
