i woke up suddenly very gentle and afraid and vulnerable. coping with people when i'm out and about is very different to the brash attitude that was there before. coming out of my shell is scary while i'm out, bit i still do it. amazing. peace to you all and stay safe please.

I'm. Right. There. With. You. I too have become more honest with myself these last few years and have experienced the incredible feelings of vulnerability that go with that. Keep pushing forward. 💪
