@brianaksmith: I got rid of my really nice $60,000 car and bought an older one that’s functional, reliable, and mine. What surprised me is how much more gratitude I feel for this one. Not because it’s better, but because I chose it and I paid for it. Somewhere along the way, I stopped caring about shiny things the way I used to. Status doesn’t do much for me anymore. Freedom does. Having my own car, on my own terms, feels like a small thing that’s actually a big thing. It’s not about impressing people. It’s about deciding for myself. Turns out my biggest priority now isn’t upgrades. It’s independence. Also… yes, I have a girlfriend.🤭 #comingout #independence #lateinlifelesbian🏳️‍🌈 #wlw #livingauthentically
