    At first I was scared to show an actual picture of who I am, out of fear someone I know would stumble upon this forum. I realized I should not be scared, this is who I am, or who I am becoming (or finally owning up to)

    So hey E.C. that is my face, hope it does not terrify you guys haha. Thanks for all the love and support. You guys are truly helping me out more then you can comprehend.

    You should feel so proud! That is an amazing thing to overcome! I'm still afraid of doing that and you are far from terrifying! It's a wonderful thing that you aren't afraid to be who you are and let other people know it. You're truly inspiring!

    When you decide to do the same, let me know, and tell me how you feel after. I feel weird, like I know posting my picture is not too big of a deal, but to me it is like coming out in a way. I feel more proud of who I am becoming, like you said. Thank you though, I hope we all make it out of here with our heads high and proud of who we are!

    If this is a safe community I think eventually we should all feel proud to show our face, I was joking about the terrifying part haha, people say my sense of humor is quiet off. I am glad people are responding positively to this post. I was afraid of what everyone would think. :confused: I worry a lot.

    I've been told that, also some people refer to me as "Blossum," everyone at the tattoo shop I go to calls me that. I just really like red and granny clothes, apparently.

    Hey welcome to my world. Don't be scared here. I was originally worried but I'm not. I fact it's liberating to be who you are without people judging you.

    And... if someone actually saw you here, what does that say about them? Think about it.
