✨2009 vs 2019.✨ I was still married in 2009 and struggling a lot with my identity. The picture on the left was from one of the many times I would sneak away to be myself. I always felt shame and guilt for those moments but it was becoming very difficult to suppress who I was. I dreamed of one day having the courage and freedom to live my truth but never believed it would actually happen. . Now, 10 years later, I struggle to remember what life was like before I transitioned. The true happiness I have found by living my life authentically has caused me to forget a lot of what life was like before (that may also be due to old ish age but who’s counting...not me anymore 😝.) . I’m thankful each and every day for this journey! #decadechallenge #transisbeautiful #happiness #authentic #glowup #2009vs2019 #10yearchallenge Repost from January 😘 https://www.instagram.com/p/B5WS0F4A48O/?igshid=1h8u8u7yhgzaw

I think I tend to beat myself up thinking that I’m not good enough or skillful enough and it’d be so much easier if I could just look at my art from the perspective of my young teen self who would be so impressed with my progress. It was a really nice feeling I think kid me would be proud :, )
