30/4/2018 0 Comments Emotional RollercoasterYesterday, I spent the day with my mother and aunt who flew into town for a funeral. We picked them up and had breakfast at a favorite place of ours. We then headed over to our house for a bit before going to see the Art in Bloom show at the MIA. This is an annual event where flower arrangers do arrangements based on one of the pieces in the museum. It was quite nice. A trip to a awesome yarn shop, a consignment shop and an early dinner also happened before I dropped them off.
Now, overall, it was a nice visit. My aunt is fully supportive, and called me by my name all the time. Which brings us to my mom. There was so much misgendering yesterday as well as dead naming. By the end of the day, I needed to cry, and I did just that once I got home. It hurts so much. She says she is accepting but it feels like there is no effort being put into getting these things right. Anyway, I feel like I have been beat up and left to struggle on my own. My life is so filled with love and acceptance and this one thing can shatter how all of that feels. I am eating my emotions today...

26/4/2018 0 Comments A Birthday of SortsIt's really hard to believe, but a year ago today I legally changed my name! It was an extremely emotional day for me, but now, I feel like I have always been Michaela Elizabeth W****!
Anyway, I will get something with more substance up in the near future. Promise! |
