First shot.. no makeup and sitting working. Second shot.. threw on earrings and lip gloss. Final shot.. out for a quick run to get gluten free, dairy free pizzas for me and my kids.

It felt great to not pressure myself to “look my best” before showing my face to the world today. I realize it has been a long time since I have allowed myself to do that. I was falling into the mindset that as a transgender woman I have to always be at my best. I don’t. I just need to be me.

..and this girl needed to go out for a quick pizza after a hard days work!
