Well, after having a delightful trip in vegas, something did come to light that I didnt expect to happen but has been pleasant all the same.
The person I went with and I had a discussion thats brought to light that we both have other feelings involved, and after having been open about them, we're weighing up the ifs and hows of if something more can actually work with us in a relationship. There'd be hurdles of course, but Im just grateful for that in itself. Whatever's decided will be the right thing.
I guess theres reassurance for me, it was about six years ago I was so utterly crushed from being cheated on I feared Id never feel anything like this ever again from my trust being destroyed. This in itself is a win in my eyes, and if we decide not to pursue anything, the friendship is still there

Plus she's one of a small handful of tightly knit folk to me who knows Im trans (and doesnt care cause she likes guys and girls).
Plucked up the courage to spend this year doing everything I can for me to achieve what I want: no more procrastination. Im gonna write my book, get that full time job and house I need, and come out to my dad. Those are the big ones for me.
And try not to break any more bones this year, four was enough in 2017 and Im good now body.
