tell me something anonymously:

a secret,

something that troubles you,

something you've never told anyone else,

what you're afraid of,

something you want to say to someone but you struggle to (including me, if i make that list),

the thing or person that makes you feel most alive,

what breaks your heart,

the scariest thing you've ever done,

what makes you happy,

who you love,

and on and on.

i am afraid that she broke up with me because i'm trans. it must be so much easier for her to be out as gay and be dating a girl who is also gay. rather than recently out as gay, dating a boy who most people read as a girl who went to her women's college.

i have such a hard time trusting people and i just want to shut down but i know i can't do that, i have to pick myself up, i have to keep going like i do every time.

i hope that your partner did not end your relationship because of your trans identity because i can imagine that to be pretty invalidating. i think transness is such a wonderful thing and i wish everyone saw and felt it as the complexly beautiful thing that it is -- and it's certainly no reason to end a relationship.

i can hear what you're saying on the trust front: i'm struggling a lot lately with the question of emotional vulnerability myself. but: i'm so glad that you are going to try to keep going. it can be so scary, and i hope that you have the support you need to take care of yourself and still be open and engaged with the world and others.

and p.s., if you ever need to shut down for awhile, that's okay, too.
