I’m really settled on the name Samantha now.
It feels like I have come home to a comfy blanket of rightness.
Joanne never felt like me. It felt like an expedient. A lazy feminisation of my birth name that I did not think about enough before adopting. How ironic that one can hate the name one gave oneself.
But I am home now.
Hi Samantha!
So pleased to hear you’ve found your “happy place” at last. It’s an important step.
*hugs*
