Trying to smile even though yesterday really hit me hard. It would have been my 11 year wedding anniversary with my soon to be ex wife and was the first since we split up. Luckily between my kids, figuring out life, and video games my mind is mostly occupied. I'm sure it will get better, just wish it would come sooner.
@Graci thanks, let's hope so!
@MarvelousMadi13 It gets easier, I promise. Great smile, by the way. 👍
@Ron thanks 😊 Fingers crossed!
@MarvelousMadi13 That's a tough experience, certainly... but as @Graci said, as you settle in yourself and a new normal, it'll get better.
Those little glimmers of trans joy and gender euphoria will help, too 
@lenaoflune @Graci those moments def help!!!!
It's ok to not feel like smiling if you don't want to.
It's been 19 1/2 years of being single for me and though I no longer think about our anniversary when that month comes around, I still have those days where for whatever reason the memories come flooding back and the pain is fresh again.
We're here for ya. ♥️
@see_the_sus I've always been one to smile, so it naturally always comes out. Just some days it's more a hollow smile. I appreciate that 😊
@MarvelousMadi13 It does get easier as you settle into yourself. Big hugs.
