Went sailing...

From time to time you meet a few really cool people, I think I met a few recently. One of which took me sailing the other fed me home made pizza! This particular man and his wife were pretty cool to me over the last few days, and have made me realize a few things. One of these is that I've begun to be less than ok with who I am, over the last few months. I was thinking the other day that I really felt like dressing this way or that, in a rather genderfluid fashion, very feminine, wanting to wear my black an d white floral skirt. Well I didn't because I was worried they wouldn't be ok with it or would be weirded out or something. I had as much as gotten a free pass to dress and act as I want...which I shouldn't need a pass for anyhow, I am who I am. So I didn't wear what I wanted. Kind of dumb, obsessing about clothing, but it was more of the freedom to be me that i was obsessing about rather than the clothing. Here I am reverting back to "is it ok to be me" again...instead of saying "I have the right to be me". Thank you Dan for helping me realize this, I needed a reality check, and someone to point out that it is in fact ok to be me, and I have the right to do so.
