Yeah!! For sure I'll go back even.. a day or two later and spot little pieces where I just need to change a word or two because it sounds clunky. I even edit stuff I posted years before :SDLFKJS it's scary but worth it, I think? I keep telling myself that people will probably like it either way and it's much easier to suspend disbelief for a fanfiction than, say, reality, but the controlling part of me clutches on with both hands like NYAHHHHHH lmao
The coming out went fine!! I didn't plan on doing it really... ever, honestly? Because there's not a significant other in the picture? But goddamn if it wasn't on the tip of my tongue - I'd wanted to tell them back in June, but it never seemed like the right time, so when I accidentally blurted it out to my mom (she was up here for a work convention - I live in a different state) I realized I'd have to tell my dad too (which was fine, I just had to do it over the phone instead of face-to-face). They're fine with it! For all that I'm from the South, I got lucky with parents that are extremely supportive and loving, if not a little shell-shocked. I think I was a little shocked too. I kept offering them pamphlets. 😂 They really just kept reinforcing that they hated that I felt like I tried to hide it? But I didn't really. I just didn't tell them until I was SURE about it.
But :LSDKJF thank you for your congratulations!! It's good to have it out there in the open. I feel a bit more honest and content with myself, really, and I swear I wouldn't have thought it would make a difference but - here we are!!
