I am still figuring this out. Some days are messy, some days are terrifying, but every day is real. This space is my journals, my stumbles, and my heart laid bare.

This is where I put the stuff I can't say out loud yet. The questions that won't leave me alone. The moments that felt like something. The days I wanted to disappear and the days I caught a glimpse of who I might actually be.
It's messy. It's confusing. It's mine.

@theawkwardally1 I’ve been blindsided. I’m AuDHD so I rely on reading people and patterns recognitions. I saw none of this coming. And that’s ok. I’m just trying to fit this puzzle together and processing out loud helps. #transmom #mtftrans #ihavequestions #transally #theawkwardally ♬ God's Creation - Charlie Raven

@theawkwardally1 Dead naming. While we have a prospect of a new name, she is still coming out. How do we straddle that gap without hurting her as little as possible? #Transmom #transdaughter #transally #theawkwardally ♬ Chopin Nocturne Piano(823933) - R.Little
