I wanted to share this experience with y'all because we need all the positivity we can get right now!

I took my boyfriend and my new girlfriend to karaoke to celebrate my coming out anniversary, mine and his 3 year anniversary, and her and I getting together as of a few days ago all at the same time! I dressed up extra fancy in all red and my boyfriend let me dress him up a bit in a punk/emo style and we both looked HOT AF! 🔥🥵 My girlfriend was also gorgeous! ❤️

I got up on stage and sang two songs. First I sang Ain't No Rest for the Wicked by Cage the Elephant and had people dancing to it. Then later I did The Search by NF and had half the room cheering for me and clapping when I finished! On the way out a guy stopped me, super excited, to shower me with compliments on how good my performance was and how amazing my voice is! It's worth mentioning that I sing in guy voice because it sounds better when I do!

On the way home the three of us stopped for Mexican food, which was delicious! Tonight was the first time the two of them met and they got along wonderfully! When I dropped her off at her place we had our first kiss and it was wonderful and full of passion! 🥰

This time one year ago I was depressed and suicidal, barely clinging to hope. I had just lost all my romantic partners but one, my wonderful amazing boyfriend, and I was afraid to come out because I thought he would leave me too if I did. I had severe social anxiety to the point going to the store was hard and had zero confidence. Now I have many friends, I'll have been out for a year officially in two days on the 18th, I can confidently sing in public, I am really starting to truly love my body, I'm making huge strides in self love, and as of now I have 4 amazing partners each of which by themselves puts the ex I left back in August of last year to shame in every way! I feel like the luckiest woman in the world to have so much joy in my life! All my hard work and patience is paying off for me in a big way! 🥰 I have built a life from nothing for myself after rotting away at the hands of a narcissist for a decade and I'm happier then I ever imagined I could be!

For added context, I live in northern Nevada, a red area, and my girlfriend is also trans! I hope some of you can look at my experience and see that in the face of the state of the world today, even in a less then friendly area, there is still hope! ❤️ Don't give up! Every bit of work you put into your happiness gives you bits of progress and eventually you'll look around you one day and be amazed at how far you've come!
