OK, this is not nearly as big as Tristen's news. But I wanted to share this with all of you.
I have been taking a lot of strain lately with studies, financial concerns and being TS and what that really means. Indeed, as I think most can attest to, it has been the greatest contributor to the madness.
A work colleague asked me what was wrong. Very nicely. So we had a bit of a chat and I asked her if she really wanted to know. There was a level of trust there that I have experienced seldom. So I decided to take a chance and, instead of discussing it directly (sitting in an open plan office is tricky), pointed her to my website and invited her for lunch once she had viewed it.
Once again, being open plan, she had to surreptitiously have a look at it, but I got a note a little later to say she was ready for the stroll.
It was a lovely lunch .
Kind, understanding and asked all the right questions and we just chatted about what it is, what it means and all those things. And then, even better, we moved off and chatted about music, fruit and dentistry. What a fantastic experience.
And once again, she said she sort of knew. At least I expected that as an answer and told her as much. Of course, that threw her . Maybe it is just because I am letting go more and more now. I am tired of pretending so much.
I look forward to the day when I can do the same with my parents.
Much love,
Vicky
