I have not posted anything at all on here in forever, but ALOT has happened since my last visit/post.
I came out to my Eldest sister and my mother.
On my birthday (in february) my sister e-mailed me wishing me a happy birthday. Normal happy birthday things, y'know? Then she asked me a question I wasn't planning on answering for quite some time. She asked me: "Do you identify as male?". To tell you the truth, I flipped. I wasn't expecting that question AT ALL. Of course, I couldn't just say "No, I don't.". I'd hate myself if I did, so I told the truth and... She's the first one in my family to actually call me Adrian. She is perfectly fine with it. :')
And my mother I told just today. I had written a note yesterday after contemplating for this whole week whether or not I should tell her this week. After giving her the note and leaving, I got a text in the middle of the day(several actually, like 6) basically stating that she'd love me no matter what, because I'm her child; male or female doesn't change a thing, that she wants me to help her help me become who I want to be, and that she and her fiance already had their suspisions.
That just really made my day. I almost cried during my lunch. :')
Thats about all I want to post for tonight. Good night~
