It'd been far too long since we'd hung out like this, just the two of us girls, kicking back, having some pizza and chatting. We'd both undergone some changes since we last met-up like this, though we'd kept each other in the loop since then, so it wasn't too much of a surprise to either of us to see the beautiful women we'd both become. Rosalind, as she prefers to be called in this form, had always wanted to try out a more bovine from, and if you ask me, she wears it well. She's always been so tender and gentle, a rather matronly sort in many ways, yet with this hidden strength just below the surface you could always sense was there, ready to burst forth if needed.

Me? Well, after some soul-searching, some rather intense moments of depression and self-doubt... I've come to the conclusion that this, this is the real me. The me I should've been, the me I want to be. It's hard to describe how profoundly right this feels, sitting here like this, wearing this pretty pink dress and cream-yellow top and actually filling it out in all the right ways, my long hair tickling my neck and shoulders as I share some girl-talk with my best friend... It's like a beautiful dream made real, one I never want to wake up from.

I don't know what my future holds, beyond my next slice of pizza that is, but right now, I know this much:

I'm genuinely happy like this, and that's enough for me.

Happy New Year, everyone!

I'm so happy my friend  justanotherweirdguy talked me into getting this commission, it was such a great way to start the year off right !!  rileyserenity was streaming yesterday, and on a spur-of-the-moment kind of thing, we decided to get a pic of me/Lena and Rosalind (JAOWG's new character/form), hanging out and having pizza. I'm having my favorite, all-meat, while she's opted for a veggie pizza. Heh, makes sense, given her new bovine anatomy and all, though I'm sure she can eat meat- if tauren in WoW can do it, so can she, lol XP

2018 was such a crazy year for me, but this scene right here? I captures the best parts of it. Having finally accepted that I'm trans, I feel oddly at peace with myself, like I'm able to be myself and enjoy this part of me for the first time. And having friends like  justanotherweirdguy there to help me feel myself out and both discover and come to terms with this aspect of myself, this part of my being, it made me happier than ever that I decided to come back to the fandom, that I've met so many wonderful people here.

I don't know what 2019 holds, but I know for certain that I'm going into it on a high note for sure. And that I've got some of the best friends a girl could ever ask for by my side as I muddle through whatever this new year has in store for me.

The art was done by the awesome  rileyserenity. Definitely check her out, she does amazing work!
