First post from a new account, and I’m honestly terrified. I’m in another city, completely alone, and there’s something comforting about knowing nobody here knows my name or the person I’m supposed to be back home. Where I live, being seen like this could create problems I’m not ready to deal with, so this part of me usually exists only behind closed doors. Tonight I finally dressed the way I’ve secretly wanted to, stood in front of the mirror for far too long, took this photo, deleted it, restored it, and almost changed my mind again. I still feel shame. I still feel scared. But underneath all of that, I think I feel a little bit free.
