I posted a bit ago that I felt like I was a prisoner in my own home (see original post here http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/......&highlight=). tonight I took a small step to break out. I waited until I was sure my neighbors were asleep and all of their lights were out and I went out the back for a little walk with the dog. One of the things I luv about where I live is that I'm right off "Main St" and can walk to shops. So I took the dog for a walk down Main St!!! Its late so not too much going on but it was still a thrill. I didnt come face to face with anyone but about a dozen cars passed by. I walked until I came to a local bar which I didnt think would be open, but was. I could hear the music inside and voices of the patrons. I thought about walking past to see what type of reaction I would get, but figured that I better not push it. Anyway, it was a big step for me in breaking out and luved it!!! Here is a pic of what I was wearing. Thanks for reading, xx Patti.
