Self aware

I'm so self aware now.

No hiding anymore.

No more pretending to be someone I'm not.

I'm free.

Floating through racks of once forbidden clothes in every color of the rainbow.

Touching lace and chiffons with tears from years of it being taboo to even look.

I used to want to so bad.

Browsing women's shoes with sparkles in my eyes.

I know my size now.

Just knowing makes me giddy.

No more looking over my shoulder in case someone sees me.

Look at me now.

I'm completely self aware.

I'm free.

I'm me.

I'm who I'm supposed to be.
