A letter from April 20th, 2017

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, PastMe came out of the closet nearly, but not quite, a year ago. It has been one of the most fulfilling years of my life -- but also extremely tiring. Present me feels that I'm just now finally turning a corner. Feeling more comfortable in my big queer skin. Taking care of my health and putting myself first...for the first time ever? I hope, FutureMe, that it was all worth it. I hope expectations are shattered; new sources of joy found. And I hope a year from now maybe, FutureMe, you've even found someone to...dare I say it...love.
