First time out....

[xAnne_Mariex]

Yaaay, finally got out on Friday evening, went to the Transliving International 25th birthday party in Essex and had such a lovely time.

Met some lovely people and had such a blast, after all this time it was so great letting Anne out of her bedroom and into the world lol.

After going to a small bar for a while we went to get some more drinks from the supermarket, because we were buying alcohol the self service alarm thing went off and we had to get assistance from a member of staff, they looked quite confused but they helped us and got on thier way lol

But what a fun night, it's made me re-evaluate certain things in my head and I am now 100% certain that I want to go full time, whether or not ill eventually want to transition im not sure yet, but right now this is all I who to be and I don't want to lie to myself anymore :hugs:

carefull about wanting to go full time,,its like going to a circus and not wanting to leave,,, eventuially it will get old and youll walk thru the gate to leave,,,once you go full time the gate gets locked and your on that ride for life,,, do you really want to ride that ride for life,,,ask yourself..

It's probably just Gender Euphoria.

Good for you Anne Marie, things will only get better from here on out. The only thing lying to myself ever did for me was lower my selfesteem. Stay true to your self and life will be good.:D:D:D...

Congrats on your first time out Anne Marie. I haven't looked back since my first time out and for me going full time can't come soon enough. :daydreaming:

[Joni Marie Cruz]

Big, big hug to you Anne! Ain't it grand? Really, isn't it the greatest feeling in the world, the first time out? Good for you, hon. You are so very cute and passable, you will never have a problem (well, I mean, no guarantees<lol>) at all being who you reall are. You go, girl.

Hugs...Joni Mari

The first time is the hardest, it gets more fun and easier as you go along. Congrats

I'm happy to hear that you had a good time and pleased for you that you had the courage to do this. Whether or not this is the final step or the first step is only something you can discover for yourself. Whatever path you take, there will certainly be someone on here who has done that before and can guide you. Also if this marks the end of your particular journey then that is a goal you have reached and you should be proud of yourself. We all need goals and we all need to reach those goals, whatever they are.

As I said at the beginning well done for making this step. It's one I still have to do and whether I ever have the courage to do it is still to be seen.

Hi Anna,
this is the first I've heard of the Transliving International night. That is not too far from me, I might have to go along one-day as my first outing!
