I'm still halfway in the closet, so it's high time I finished coming out, and did it "officially" at that. It'll be a huge relief.
The photos were printed by Walgreens, and I must say, the quality is really impressive for 19 cents each! They look better than 35mm snaps, and have the same look and feel of "real" photos.
Many of them will go out to people who haven't seen me since I transitioned, and some of them may be stopping by the site. Hi, folks!
Welp, the letters were slipped in the mailbox around 4-5 hours ago.
I felt nervous just before and after, but the anxiety is mostly gone already, and it really is a huge relief now.
It's strange that I can stroll around the mall wearing a short skirt and heeled sandals without a care in the world, but sending out a letter to people 800 miles away still gives me the butterflies.

Just a quick entry to say that I'm now in the process of officially coming out as trans!
I'm about to send out to much of my immediate family: this coming-out letter, along with this photo, and this other photo.

Nice choice on the pictures!
Also, good luck with the response to the letter. Hopefully it'll lead to some interesting conversations and reconnecting with family.

Thanks, Patita!
I'm already back in touch with a cousin of mine, and she's helping me out with current addresses.
