Becoming Joselyn
For years, I lived a double life. To the world, I was José, a textile designer with a quiet demeanor. But in the sanctuary of my home, supported by the unwavering love of my sisters and mother, I became Joselyn. I loved the feel of silk against my skin and the way makeup could transform my features into something truly beautiful.
Then came Martin. He was an athletic technician at my workshop with a smile that could melt my resolve. I had spent countless afternoons imagining him in my arms, but I never dared to bridge the gap between my professional self and my true identity. That changed one humid Saturday evening when, dressed in a honey-colored coat, I spotted him waiting for me outside the studio, his eyes filled with a longing that mirrored my own.
