First things first: I’m going to try to post more often. Yes, I know I’ve said that before, but writing has always helped me process things, and I want to get back to that. I’m also going to participate in #100DaysToOffload, which is a challenge to post to a personal blog 100 times in a year. So we’ll see how that goes.
So on to what I came to say. I don’t do New Year’s resolutions. I don’t think I ever have. I guess, until now. At least, I think I’m resolved, so that must count, right? I’m going to try to be fully out by the end of this year. I’ve gone to the last two holiday meals dressed as myself. So I’m out to my immediate family. That went as well as could be expected. I felt 97% comfortable, so that’s a good step.
Work is still a different story. I’ve decided to adopt a “Sorta be myself, and if people figure it out, fine.” philosophy. I’m less worried than I was before, but I still have trepidation and concerns. I have had a coworker ask me “Why do your glasses have ‘Willow’ engraved on them?” but they didn’t wait around for an answer. And as the HRT continues, things are going to become more noticible. I spend most of my workday by myself, though, so people may never notice.
I know I’m going to be posting something about the HRT in a couple of days, so stick around for that. I haven’t made sense of my fashion sense, either. Being colorblind, I’ve never been great at coordinating. I am starting to identify more things I like, I’m just not sure they’ll go together.
Anyway, welcome to 2023. Today’s featured image is courtesy of Unsplash (as it usually is). I’ll talk to you all soon.
