I've been mildly stressed about my legal name change since I came out to myself a year and a day ago. It felt so permanent, so irrevocable, I think because it was a change I was registering with an external authority. I didn't think I was ready.

Yesterday, my one-year traniversary, it suddenly became advantageous to register the change Right Now, so I did. Previously, I'd thought I had 4 months before it'd come up.

The big warm wave I've been riding since has been... real nice. 😊
