Two Year Anniversary

April 14, 2023

Holy chaos! Two years ago today I arrived at my new home. Two years ago last Tuesday I finally fled my abusive family never to return.

I'm so, so damn happy. I'm so, so damn relieved. I'm safe, and I'm loved, and I'm more free than I've ever been. For the first time ever, I like my life. I catch myself just grinning, realizing I'm just happy. I live with my two amazing mates. We have a wonderful cat, and we're adopting a second. I live in an awesome place. I get to work as a riding instructor, teaching people, especially kids, about horses and sharing my special interest every day. Last week, I was working in a park in San Francisco! I cannot believe how good things are.

Yes, they're still hard, and yes, I still get stressed. I'm still gonna be recovering forever. But panic attacks aren't a weekly, bi-weekly, or even monthly thing, anymore. Even if the world is on fire and scary, especially for three trans people like us, we're safe here, right now.

It's really, really nice to feel this way, and see how far I've come <3

^_^ I'm never going back <3
