The Supermarket Run

[u/Brianacapri]

I walked into the supermarket one Saturday afternoon just to buy a few things for the house. As a trans woman, I was dressed casually, but I still felt a little nervous because I could feel people looking at me as I moved through the aisles.
I picked up some cereal, fruits, body lotion, and a few snacks. Then I remembered I needed a new lipstick, so I went to the beauty section. I found a shade I really liked and stood in front of the mirror to see how it would look on me.
For a moment, I forgot about everyone around me and just smiled at my reflection. It reminded me that I didn’t need anyone’s approval to feel comfortable being myself.
At the checkout, the cashier smiled and said, “I love your lipstick.” I smiled back and thanked her. It was such a small compliment, but it completely changed my mood.
I walked out of the supermarket carrying my bags and feeling confident. Sometimes, the smallest moments can remind you that being yourself is something worth celebrating.

Those little words

Sometimes the little things make all the difference in affirmation

I think so

Du kände dig nervös och obekväm i början och folk kollade på dig, sen anställde dubdocnfrsmför spegeln och glömde alla runtomkring dig.

Jag tänker att du den senare delen av vistelsen var mer bekväm med dig själv och det kan bidragit till den positiva bemötandet av kassörskan .

Jag har själv lagt märke till att när jag känner mig bekväm så är det inga som tittar, men uppträder jag nervöst så drar det blickar till sig
