I've been feeling better and better about myself all week, but today I was able to jer that feeling going. I'm kind of bummed I couldn't get myself to go to my work Christmas party tonight, but I honestly felt happier staying at home dressed and with my nails and a bit of light makeup. I haven't come out yet to the world yet, but I have to my girlfriend and she's really supportive and tells me I'm cute and pretty all the time when I'm in my feminine form.
It feels good to look in the mirror and smile for once in my life. It's been happening more since I started dressing, putting up my hair and doing make up more. I've always been "okay" with my appearance when I looked in the mirror, but it had never encouraged me to smile like this before. Well I had this experience today when getting ready to go to the grocery with my girlfriend. I was fixing the clips in my hair and saw a smile looking back. I was nervous about going out with my girly blue sweatpants on, my nails painted with green and red for Christmas and a little bit of eyeliner and mascara, but I knew I'd be okay if I was with her.
I still wore a hat over my hair up and one of the same flannels and sweatshirts I always do, but it's probably the most feminine I've ever dressed and public like that. It felt really good and made me even more content and happy than I had been before leaving the house. I still have a long road to figuring out how far I would ever want to transition and how I will come out to family, friends and people I work with. Right now though, I'm happy with this side of myself I've been exploring and I'm optimistic about the future. I feel like I will be happy and that I'm capable of feeling comfortable in my own skin.
I just wanted to share this positive vibe I've been feeling and pass it on to all of you!

Omg that's awesome! So proud of you!! I've always worn hippy pants and flowing loose clothing to try and be more airy and feminine.. So now that i'm wearing just strictly girly trackies that make my legs look nicer, and wearing lighter nicer fitting clothing it feels fantastic!! I can't go back to jeans and boy'ish jumpers anymore, it just feels so natural to dress normal and compliments make the day INCREDIBLE :D I know exactly what you mean!
Thank you for sharing
