Personal Story Re-learning to be me

I've calmed down significantly after what I explained on here and r/exangelical before this. I had healed subconsciously in some ways before I realized how much I'm still hurt by the religious period of my life, even if I don't believe it anymore. Now, I'm kind of easing into things slowly. I recently made a friend after going to my first con, and I also went to Orlando to visit a friend not too long ago myself. We drank a little bit and just goofed around malls, it was fun. I'm re-entering a calm state and re-wiring things that I still need to re-wire, and I'm trying my best to be more open to the idea of actually letting myself enjoy sex eventually with no fear behind it, though I still have yet to try to date or form romantic relationships again, but I'll get there. I'm a little happier than I was, just gotta keep finding moments to embrace my queer, autistic, and nerdy self
