I literally just took a big step today. I told two of my coworkers my preferred name which is River and they both asked if they wanted me to call me that instead of my birth name and I said yes. And then after my shift I texted the manager to see if we could get our preferred names on our name tags.
I get my braces off tomorrow and I'm excited
I get to eat all of my favorite candy after 2 years and 2 months. Like sour war heads and sour patch kids (which are probably gonna be sour as hell), nerds, jolly ranchers, skittles, runts, starbursts & laughy taffy
