While biking home I fell into a group of five or so other bike commuters going my way who were much more assertive than I was. The joy of actually having an entire lane to ourselves, pushing cars out of the way, instead of fearfully fighting for a tiny strip between the moving cars and the parked cars, was so refreshing that I got distracted and ended up twenty minutes off course because I just kept following them lol
It's the exact same feeling I get whenever I'm in public with more than one other trans woman
Anyways. I'm terminally unable to backtrack whenever I get lost so I kinda just Kept Going
ended up cutting through probably the nicest park I've ever seen in the city, took a break by the dog park to people watch, before following an impressively nice bike trail back to pick up my usual route
Fucking, great time, I felt spent and sunkissed in the best way possible. Unfortunately I also feel exhausted and sunburnt but hey coins have two sides ya know
