    I did it! I went out!!!

    Thanks to the inspiring posts here lately, I decided it was time to take a chance. I held my breath and forced myself out to the van. I drove to a safe spot and put my fake b00bs and wig on (couldn't risk anyone in the neighborhood seeing me). Then I drove around a while. Went through the Starbucks drive-through. I was sooooo nervous! On my drive home, I stopped at a local abandoned park and actually got out of the van! I went for a short walk, enjoying the freedom and fresh air. Then I drove home, taking the wig and falsies off before I got back into the neighborhood.

    I want to make sure that I always remember that feeling of freedom, remember that I had the courage to go out dressed. So I took pics! I'm gonna share two here.

    Yay for me!!!

    Congatulations, Nyssa! It's nerve wracking to begin with, but soon, you'll own it. Go, Girl, Go!

    Congrats! I have only been out about 5-6 times in public, but I have been bolder each time. My first time was just a drive around town. Then, a TG meetup at a friendly salon. Then, a TG friendly restaurant followed by a gay bar, where everyone was pretty welcoming. Last time, I even went into Walgreens afterwards to buy something-anything, in fact, just to do it. The clerk said thank you, sweetie, and that made it all worth it!

    Congratulations, you are inspiring to those of us in the same position, makes me want to try to do even more than just drive around or get out and pump gas.

    Way to go Nyssa. Girl, you now own that courage and it will never leave you. You have taken a step you wanted to, and that is what is important, so build on it and believe you can do what you want.

    Wonderful, Nyssa! I've had a few small trips out the front door, but you make me want to go get dressed, grab my purse, and do it again!

    May this be the first of many ventures for you!

    I did what you did some years ago.
    I had the same feelings and similar experiences to you.
    Enjoy the ride and savour the moment.
    There is nothing like the FIRST time.
    You only do that once.
    Work on your elegance,
    and beauty will follow.
