    Mornin EC. I haven't posted in a while so just thought I'd give a bit of an update. Divorce proceedings have started and have been very stressful. The ex is being spiteful, unreasonable and pathetic (I knew he would) But, on the other hand I have never felt so content, peaceful and confident within myself. Coming out is one of the most powerful, self affirming experiences of my life. I'm happy, I'm less anxious, I'm an openly gay woman!! It feels so amazing to say that out loud. So to those still at the beginning of this crazy journey keep going, be true to yourself, you deserve to be happy and live an authentic life xx

    Your posts are sounding more and more happy, even if there is some craziness in your life.

    I am so happy for you that things are going well and you sound like you are in a good place.

    So far it has been worth making myself vulnerable for. It feels good to be happy, it's been such a long time since I truly felt like me.

    Yay, I mean not for the spiteful divorce but if you can go through that and still be this happy you can achieve anything, I'm so pleased for you.
