Title: Sweet freedom! (And cute shorts)
Post by: Sondra Marie on August 02, 2015, 07:35:55 PM
Time for a motivating story!

I have been out to my (now) ex-girlfriend for a couple of weeks but we're on good terms so we're still roommates until she can find another living situation. But that's kind of a different topic. Today, I went out and bought these super cute teal shorts, since I've been shaving my legs (Whooh!), and matching nail polish for my toes and I've been rocking them all day along with a light blue headband and a black shirt to contrast with the blue/teal. Oh my gosh! The sweet sweet freedom is so exhilarating. It was a little awkward at first but now we're just hanging out like nothing's changed, except for the fact that I look like 50% more girly. I'm actually really glad she stuck around because it'll give me some experience with the awkwardness of being around someone that knows my biological sex while I'm presenting female.

Every time I look down or walk by a mirror I get this awesome feeling! It feels great and looks great. So many years hiding it, today was super exiting for me. It took a while to actually wear anything in front of her after I told her but I'm glad I did because I feel like a million bucks, so soft and feminine. Telling her was one of the best decisions I've ever made. And now, naturally, I don't want to go to work tomorrow cuz it's back to male mode for another week.

haha, nice!  I know what you mean, I bought these cute jeans shorts and wear them around the house when I can remember to.  I think that was my first piece of girl clothes I bought besides a bra, lol.  It just feels so great to lounge around as your real self doesn't it?  The say "the clothes make the man," but I'd say it goes both ways!
