I have a close friend who I've been in love with for quite some time now. He knows, he doesn't reciprocate, we're still friends, it's not a big deal. Anyway, I mentioned to him recently that I was getting on testosterone soon, and he was glad for me. He's straight, and he said because he's straight he wouldn't be interested in getting together (if you know what I mean). I was a lot more okay with it than I thought I would be.
I think I realize, deep down, that if we were dating, he (like most men) would want to restrict my transition, and I feel so lucky that we're friends and that he can accept me for who I am. I think that's what love is.
I am beginning to accept my identity as a solo person outside of the confines of a dating relationship. For the past decade, I was always dating somebody, and when I wasn't dating somebody, I was formulating attack plans for all my crushes. So it's nice to just focus on myself for a change.
Anyway, I was just thinking on this today, and it made me happy, so there's my "what made me happy" for today.
