Angie opened up about the internal struggles she experienced before fully embracing her identity, comparing it to having two competing systems within her mind.

“Before I came out I would describe my situation as having two operating systems like Android OS vs Mac OS. It was truly confusing and mentally draining on what program was going to run in my brain,” she shared.

Looking back at old photos, Angie said she could now see signs of uncertainty in her past self—something that has since disappeared.

“From my older photos I can see lots of my half smiles and unsureness. That all went away when I came out,” she added.

According to Angie, one of the most crucial factors in her journey was the overwhelming support she received from the people around her. She credited her friends, family, workplace, and followers for helping her embrace her true self and live more freely.

“I had the love and support of my friends, family, work and all of you who follow me today. Today I have clarity and I always feel like I have the ability to do almost anything I put my heart to.”
