Hi all!
A little story from today:
I went shopping for some Xmas presents with my sister. She's 28, I'm 31. We entered a beauty supplies store. I was there standing, waiting for any of the SAs to help me, but nobody did! I guess that they didn't because I'm a guy, 'cause an SA started talking to my sis even when I was there looking at the merch. Anyway... I stepped in the middle and asked the lady for a foundation for my skin color, which made the lady change her expression to a classical "what tha heck!". She showed me some of the stuff they had, but I didn't buy any of that... The good thing was that my sis didn't do any weird expressions to me, so I started thinking about telling her about my CDing. She's very understanding anyway and has some gay friends, so she shouldn't be upset about it, I thought.
After that we went to another store to get some jewelry and we did great, had a lot of fun. I'm good at picking girly stuff (whay would it be! :battingeyelashes:). After all the shopping, in the car back home, I opened a pic of mine en femme, and I tried to tell her about it, but words just couldn't come out... Then I thought "WTH! She's young like me, she's very mature and she loves me, she must understand! I want her to know" so I parked the car at a quiet place and told her "I want to tell you something. It's really private and only my GF knows..."
-"What is it? You breaking up with Nana? You like guys?"
-"None of that" - laughs. "I don't like guys, never did, but I've always loved wearing woman clothes..." - I went all blushed!
My sis was all blushed too!
-"Ta daaah!" - I showed her the pic on my cell phone.
She was really shocked at first, but then she said: "I can't believe it! You look so pretty! You look just like me!"
She hugged me and I broke in tears! I was so scared, but happy at the same time. She's the first -and I guess the only one ever- to know about this in my family. We talked a lot about the subject, and at the end of the conv, she told me that I can trust her and she'd love to go shopping with me any time. I also asked her what she thinks about the people who likes this, and she said that she's very happy for me and for anyone who does what makes 'em happy and don't live a life of frustration. I told her about this community, and she said it's great to have this supportive groups. I think this is very helpful for understanding myself :)
I think that her reaction was so much nicer than I expected. I felt that I have a true friend in her, and now I'm so excited about sharing tips, info and shopping days with her. I bought her a very nice Christmas present. I think she earned it today!
---
I want to wish you all a very happy Christmas. Try to be with the people that you love. Forgive, hug, kiss and celebrate life! No matter how hard things get, time will make us strong enough to go through any stuff in our way!
Hugs!
