Today is my brother, Ryan's, birthday. This one was really difficult to make because, for the peopl ewho are really close to me, I struggle to say the things to them and tell them how much they mean to me. So here's an attempt to do that.

Today I’m at Bellevue Wine Estate to celebrate one of my oldest friends birthday. Gerald and I have known each other since high school and we’ve been through a bit over these last 15+ years. He was also one of the first people I ever came out to as trans, and he was so compassionate and didn’t make me feel judged at all.
