Registering an alias

I went to the local municipal office today to register my alias.

Now, I can use my alias for daily life.

Yet another step towards becoming me.

Moved out

Officially moved out today.

Now I am on my own.

I hope this is a step forward in the right direction.

Told the kid

Told the kid today about my condition. He was indeed shocked and started to cry. But he was sleepy (just before bedtime) so I told him I will explain more when I have the chance.

Made me feel so bad to see him cry... but he needs to know.

Another step forward.

Got the keys

Got the keys to my rental apartment. The next step is to furnish it and move out.

Expensive... with the rental, the commission, insurance, and that's just a bare room. Then all the furniture and appliances (which I have yet to finish buying)... it is going to cost a bomb.

Moving out

An important decision has been made. I will be moving out in order to begin full-time transition. Spent last week looking for a new place, found something suitable (small, just enough to stay on my own and fulfill the basic needs of an accommodation), just waiting to confirm if the owner is okay to rent it to me.

So chances are I will be staying in the neighbouring town, hopefully land myself a job (going for an interview in two weeks) and get used to living full-time before the next step.

Of course, that is if everything turns out well. Life can sometimes throw many surprises.
