    The newness of being a gay women is very exciting and I want to celebrate my new found identity and life change -
    I am taking things steady for now as that feels right but I can't wait for next summer when I want to be able to lob my hair off and feel free

    So I have fallen for someone and we are in a recovery programme together - I'm not really
    Seeing her as we live in different places but we do talk
    On the phone sometimes -
    We have a lot in common and get on well -
    Feels important to take things slow but I do know we will be together and build a life together ...
    I know it in myself being
    It feels we are connected

    So in short I am happy - looking forward to the future and excited (!)just like this dancing banana

    What kind of things have you done to celebrate - self express ?

    Since splitting from ex, I have just been spending money left and right. Basically bought a whole new wardrobe. Jeans, sweaters, tons of shirts, shoes, and an Xbox One. Still, busting ass to keep kids needs met and bills paid, but I guess I've just gone a little crazy since finally realizing that what I want and need matters too. Didn't really feel that way for so long, so I guess this would be counted as celebration.

    Well, at least til my credit card spontaneously combusts.
