that this whole thing you've been thinking about over the last months is now out, people know about it, people talk with you about it, and it's actually going somewhere...

I have never been so delightfully terrified and excited at the same time, it's lovely

Enjoy the ride! It will have its ups and downs, but there's nothing else like it :)

Thank you! It will be quite the ride, but one I actually want to go on, for once^^

I used to call it scared-cited or nervous-cited. Its like you seem to flip between worry and euphoria, right?

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, it's exactly that. Gotta say, I haven't felt this alive since... can't even remember

One thing I wish I did before starting was taking one last photo of myself. It's harder to appreciate the changes when you're only looking at the bigger picture and don't notice the smaller, less visible changes.

That is a good idea

Ah well, there's enough photos of me as I am now, half my family are camera nerds. Maybe I'll actually like having my picture taken when this has progressed further^^

I like those names! I feel that, and I think my therapist could visiblg see those feelings when we talked about it. Like I started seeming happy but it always quickly turned to fear or sadness.

I'm so proud of you, I hope this is the sweetest time for your life.

I'll make sure it will be :D

What you actually did it? Congrats!

Two very important people still don't know, but I'm working on it^^
