#100DaysToOffload 3
This is one of those posts where I feel like I have a lot to say, a lot to plan, a lot to do, and yet, I don’t have a clue what to call it. So this post has no title as I write this. I guess we’ll see what it makes me think of when I’m done.
First and foremost: I took one of my existing social networks, Snapchat (which is admittedly a very sparsely used platform), changed my name and profile picture, snapped a (slightly filtered) selfie, and sent it to my entire contact list. MOST of the people on my list already knew, but there were a handful that it would be news to. I got a nice bit of affirmation and encouragement in reply, and it brightened my day yesterday.
Most other places, I’ve made new presences and will retire the old one, in some way or another. My online identity has 26 years of history that is a bit contradictory with who I am. This is what I get for forcing myself to use masculine words in my identity, like “lord” and “sir”.
Lastly, today, I am going to join my high school class reunion group on facebook, with my new account. I don’t live there anymore, but it’s still a scary prospect to be that open, especially with people who made my life hell in my school days. But I’m ready. I’m ready to be done hiding, and soon, I will not be hiding anywhere.
Hey look, I made it 3 days.
