i haven't been on here much, but i'll give it a try
my name is mara. i've known who i am for a few years now, ever since i had a word to put to what i felt like. when i was younger i would always tell my very close friends "sometimes i wish i was a girl" (and i've since come out to a few of them). i've had a lot of other learning in the past few years, too, and i feel like soon i want to begin living as who i am instead of under this facade. all of my friends know who i am, my close relatives know as well - it's the ones i'm not so close to that i'm worried about, and it's so silly, i shouldn't care about what they think, or what anyone at work thinks, but here i am. i'm rambling, anyway... hello.
