My partner and I have agreed to an amicable separation. It sucks, but I’m also having the realization just how much I’ve fought myself over them. How much longer I’ve been denying my own truth to try and live theirs.

So, kinda a mixed bag so far! Trying to keep my head up, reminding myself that this is my opportunity. I’ve been wanting to actually live my life as myself. Now, the only thing really stopping me is myself, and feeling that, feeling like I’ve finally hit the point to telling myself “No, I’m done trying to hide this from everyone offline”, has been rather personally empowering.
