It's been a wild few years. I came out as nonbinary in 2021 to my then wife, almost 5 years later to the day I realized I'm a girl. I'd spent quite a bit of time believing I'd never be a 'real girl', for some reason, idk probably internalized transphobia from my youth (yay growing up in friggin ohio). Today, I am happy where my transition has progressed. I feel good, happier than I've ever been in my body. I feel congruous with my personality, rather than like I'm trying to be someone I'm not.

The other day, I realized I was trying sooooo hard to "be myself" that I was playing up every aspect of my personality into this unbelievable caricature of myself. Today, I'm just a girl.

I should do clown makeup again, february 2024 was fun.

Aww thenks!

I love my philtrum ring, though I'm probably gonna replace it with a stud soon because I keep conking myself in the face and I'm afraid I'm gonna bust my teeth! I used to wear an opal there, it's in the mar23 photo, I'm probably gonna get one of those again :)
