Good choice. It's like a hard one but once made there is little to go back for. Now you can like start to live your life without all the drama of pretending to be someone you aren't and spend the energy concentrating or wutever on getting it done. I think though, you might have held off on the 40 "deletes' in your life. I lost a lot of so called friends that dropped me like a hot potato and amazingly some of those I just like knew for sure were going to give me grief turned out to be my truest supporters. The good news is that from this point on concerning new friends and acquaintances you'll only be known as the name (Erin) and person you want to present. There will be no past with this new group, only the future. If there are those who want nothing to like do with you, you'll likely not be interacting with them anyway. Believe me, although there are tough times ahead, they're so totally easier to handle without that "other' life to any longer interfere. Unfortunately, sometimes even family has to be tossed on the wayside, but believe me you're like so totally better off w/o the drama. Remember, if anyone has a problem with you....it's not your problem, it's theirs. Congrats on a big step to becoming a happier, true to yourself person. .
