She didn’t call, she waited until late in the night and texted. We didn’t talk about the business. We didn’t talk about me coming out, but we talked about our nails and some things going on with us.

We talked about dinner plans, she dead named me, and told me she loved me.

I’m not even mad about the dead Name, I didn’t tell her my chosen name, so she had nothing else to call me, but it was jarring still.

I hope you all had a wonderful night ❤️💕

    Congrats to you! It's super scary opening yourself up like that.

    It sounds (from this and last post's context) like she's trying to come to terms with it/formulate her response, while also reiterating her love for you. Talking about your nails, was that to do with gendered expression, is she trying to (re)connect with you, get your nails done together or something?

    Good luck with everything, it sounds like you're already well on your way. I hope mum chooses to come along for the ride

    Good luck. Idk what to tell you, what advice to give. Everyone's story is different, with different ups and downs. Just... not to be a Debbie downer, but maybe temper your expectations? You've read my ups and downs, I'm sure. Hope for the best, expect the worst, ya know? I send love, hugs, and support from the other side of the internet.

      Thank you for the kind words EsheLynn!

      I've always been the type to set expectations low but hope for the best. Desire and ignorance is the root of suffering. No point desiring something you can never have, as it has nothing positive to bear for you.
