The world felt crisp and new to me. I swung my legs from the park bench, my hands clasped loosely in my lap. A giggle escaped, unbidden. The trees swayed in a gentle breeze, their leaves rustling a calming counterpoint to the wild dance within me. I felt as if the air itself was charged.

I'd spent months pondering, researching, and now, here I was, ready. Ready to share my truth.

Taking a deep breath, I stood and started to walk, each step propelling me forward with a kind of weightless energy. The sun felt warm on my face. A smile spread over my face, wider than I thought it could be.
