    This picture slaps ❤️

    Edit: Ive been super extra emotional lately (its a mystery as to why😂) and im not ashamed to admit i started crying looking at this picture, although i cant really explain why. I think maybe happy cry? Im so proud of you girly, and just so happy to see you flourish, i think that might be it lol

    I’m happy to be myself after so long

    Absolute truth <3 I’ve struggled with explaining this to people, they don’t really understand what it’s like to not have an identity. Most straight folks pick the identity of husband or wife or parent or their career and those traditional paths have not really been available to us or those rights have been under attack for so long. It take a big heart to be yourself in a world like that and you are absolutely rocking it :) be happy and proud

    How active is that train track? Meaning how often does a train run on it? And when trains do pass on that track, how fast do they go?

    Don’t get me wrong, sister, when I was in my teens in Russia in 1990s, I loved walking along railway tracks exactly like you do in that picture. But we really don’t want to have any of our lives claimed by unexpectedly passing trains - so you need to be very aware and very certain that you can get out of the way if a train approaches!
