I always have the best intentions of keeping up with this thing, I do. This time I'm just going to be honest about it and say that this very well may be the only post I make here this year. Or one of a handful. I guess time will tell.
Anyway. What can I even say about all this time that has passed since I was here last. I've called so many new places "home", and changed more than I ever thought I could. It was a huge year for change. I've reassessed who I am, and I'm feeling so much more comfortable in my skin, even if it does cause some confusion for some people. But people are easily confused.
I guess I've kind of felt this way for awhile, neglecting to specify gender if there ever was an option to do so (exotic!), but I'm just finally comfortable enough to really embody that as well. It's strange that I feel a thousand times more confident expressing myself in a way that draws so much unwanted attention. I hate when people stare at me, but I guess I hate even more to be seen as someone I am not.
So here's to a year of being myself. Of being true to myself, of not compromising myself for anyone else's comfort. That's about as much of a resolution you're going to get out of me this year.
