I got major compliments on this outfit when I wore it the other day to group therapy. Though I didn’t wear the hair during group. I decided to go for comfort instead of style. That has been a recent theme for me as of late – comfort over style. I’m not 100% sure that I actually like that new philosophy! Ha!
Though it is not super obvious from these photos, I am pretty matchy-matchy in this outfit. So….. well the tunic has blue, black, white, and a cream color in it, which the leggings of course go with, being as they are black and all! Then the shoes are my super cute blue polka-dot wedge sandals, which go with my black and white polka-dot finger and toe nails. During therapy I also had on a black beanie with rhinestones covering it. So….. I was pretty matchy-matchy! And I loved it!
Group went well, though I would have to say that my wife would most likely say I was feeling feisty! I am not so sure if that was the case, but I am relaxing for sure at group. I am slowly trying to force myself to be confident even when I am not. Which is a struggle! I may come off as pretty darn out-going and confident, but really that is all cover for the truth – which is I am often super insecure and anxiety ridden. Typically my worst moments are after I have gotten through something – I will then spend, hours, days, months, years, and yes occasionally even decades worrying that I totally fucked up something.
What do I have going for me? An abundance of bravery. It is only through my bravery that I have been able to accomplish anything. I am still a bit concerned about this, and am trying to deal with it. But I also have come to an understanding, bravery has to come before confidence. One must be brave to face their fears, and after proving oneself capable, repeatedly, then comes confidence.
Seems simple. Too bad it’s not as easy as it sounds! For to brave sometimes takes an unbelievable amount of strength. I believe in us fellow humans. We can muster that courage. We can find the strength. We can be brave.
Love you!
Love yourself!
Go forth and be brave my loved ones!

Oh my gosh, I can relate to the overthinking piece. I came out to a very close woman friend who lives two hours away. I cried all the way home after coming out-barely controllable crying-certain I had fucked something up. The truth was, nothing was fucked up, and my friend supported me 1000%. I learned a lot about myself in that moment. It was very much driven by hormones, which when combined with my general state of anxiety, was a potent mix.
It is so frustrating, as I know that my brain fucks with me this same way. So…. on the one hand it is nice, because I have some sort of understanding for what is going on. However it drives be bonkers as I have yet to rid myself of this crap!
