Title: Finally told a friend!
Post by: Erin Brianne on July 17, 2013, 07:33:11 PM
Feels like a weight has been lifted off. I finally emailed a friend of mine and told her what I was feeling and going thru in my life right now.  She is probably the most open minded person one could ever have the pleasure of knowing.  She responded back by saying she felt honored that she was the first person I have told. Of course she expressed her concerns but she said she was understanding to my feelings and supported what is going on with me. Thankful to have a friend such as her!!!  And of course my new family here ;)

It is such a great feeling when you can unload the burden you carry so long and say "This is me. This is who I am." Congratulations!

Yay!

"She responded back by saying she felt honored that she was the first person I have told"

I was told the same thing. She also said "If you're going to do that, you have to get boobs."

Thanks for sharing the good news, hugs, Devlyn
