Honestly at this point I wouldn’t change anything simply because it would change me fundamentally as a person and I’ve just finally gotten confident and comfortable in myself. Would it have been wonderful to have been raised without the trauma and issues of course but there is no changing that.
It took decades. I’m 45 and maybe in the last 5 years I’ve gotten more comfortable. I just finally hit a point where I’m like f-it this is who I am and if you don’t like it please go. I’ve been so much happier after unmasking I wish I could have done it sooner in life!
