Discovering something at age 18 that has stuck

Discovering myself at age that has stuck to this day has been being a femboy. Knew that I was masculine with a touch of being feminine. Did come out to mom about at first and said I needed to discover this with her support. I did and it was 6 weeks after I graduated from high school that I did do it. Walked and welcomed me in having me sit in the chair saying I had potential asking me if I was ready for the next step which I told them yes. First was with my long hair, seen hair extensions had to be put in after it was washed and dried. Styled it too and then it was to the make up artist that did my make up teaching me everything followed by my nails done. Then off to wardrobe, found me top, skirt, pair of black stocking, panties and a bra to have me put on taking my male wardrobe which I did. Seen my ears were pierced handing me pair of 2 inch hoop earrings to put in which I also did. finally a pair of 3 inch heels. learned to walk in the heels and act feminine which I did learn quickly. Finally looking in the mirror, I was excited seeing the results telling them I did not want to go back and luckily they called my mom to come down. When I walked out to show her, she saw I was much happier and told her this is the new me that is staying. They welcomed me to go out that night and told them yes. It was worth it meeting new friends like me. My good friends in my life are still in my life, shown them too. They were proud of me for doing this, remembered me as the shy boy being replaced with someone much happier in life. Still see me as this way.
