a good meeting with my pastor

Had a nice meeting with my pastor yesterday. After talking for about an hour, she said she wanted me to hang onto 3 things:

First, surviving what I went through as a child shows that I'm strong,

Second, making the decision to live as my authentic self shows that I'm brave,

And thirdly, the fact that I've been able to find a job that doesnt mind the transition, plus continuing to have the love of my family through this drastic change in my life shows that I'm blessed.

Not bad things to hold on to, I think.
