Well,
After spending the Christmas week with the parents (who don't know about me) and having an up and down time with my sister, getting back home Sunday evening I was feeling pretty stressed. Spent all day Monday as Katie (as usual) but was still feeling it, which continued all day today as it was back to work and not being me.
Anyway, come tonight and I go over to a friends house for coffee, he knows Katie better than the male person he originally met. I wasn't looking that great, thought I better shave before going out but was down to the last , used, razor blade. Assumed it would be OK, queue horrendous stubble rash and no time to put on much makeup, so sufficed with some eyeliner and lipstick.
Had a lovely time chatting away and the stress just melted away. Sitting here now I realize it was the feeling of being accepted for who I am which was so wonderful and something I had sorely missed over Christmas. It really makes me thankful and happy that what I am doesn't matter in the slightest to my friends, they love me just the same.
Just wanted to share something which wasn't negative
