In this Skin

I swear, I've seen that title somewhere else.... Oh well.

As I was packing up the InfoDesk to go home, I had to note that I felt happier than I've been in a long time. It has a lot to do that the last four days have been blindingly Sunny, but I know that my presentation as male has more to do with it. I would argue that I've felt more comfortable these last few days than I have in a long time. I feel more relaxed and myself.

Sometimes it's hard to believe that it's taken me so long to... come out?  Some would use that phrase.  I'd like to call it syncing; my Inner self matches my Outer self more--we're not all the way home yet. :3

I don't worry about who's looking at me, I don't worry about being ogled, and I don't have to spend time contemplating my appearance for a horribly judgmental and extremely pushy society that demands I look a certain way in order to be considered 'womanly'.  Two words for your Beauty Myth: Fuck You.

I feel like my anxiety levels are coming down, I don't feel as depressed (again, it's been Sunny for the past four days) and... I feel happy.
