New news
Good grief, it’s been over a month. Didn’t mean to leave everyone hanging. I have a bit of news to catch everyone up on now.
As of now, I’ve been to two group counseling sessions for LGBT college students. There’s only four of us in it, but we’re all very supportive of each other. So far, it’s been pretty good. I have my next meeting in about 17 hours.
In related news, I start meeting with a gender therapist in about 15 hours. I’m really excited for it and just want to start working things out.
Oh, almost forgot. I came out to my parents a few weeks ago. I came out to my mother first, and she was not happy about it at all. She’s very religious and thinks I’m running away from my true self and God. As for my dad, my mom told him on the agreement that he could not talk to me about it until I was ready. He told me that I’m 22 now, so I can do whatever I want as long as I weight the consequences first.
And as of now, I’m on the verge of tears of happiness. Tonight I hung out with one of my female friends and she helped me with makeup. She’s a good friend and for the first time, I felt closer to being “one of the girls” than I ever had before. It’s made me so happy that I think my makeup might run now. It really is a good feeling to have.
I know I jump around a lot. I’m just don’t have the best organized thoughts and I’m still new to this whole blogging thing in general. So, cut me some slack and hope that I improve over time.
Until next time,
Karin
