A Letter from Sabrina to Those Who Knew Steve

Dear Friends,

If you’re reading this, it means that life has a way of bringing us back together in unexpected and beautiful ways. Perhaps you knew me as Steve Butler—a name that, for a long time, felt like a role I was playing rather than the person I truly was inside. If so, I have something deeply personal and wonderful to share with you.

I have stepped into the person I was always meant to be. I am Sabrina now—not just in name, but in spirit, in confidence, in happiness, and in the way I embrace life. And while this may be a surprise to some, for me, it is simply the most natural and joyful realization of who I have always been.

For as long as I can remember, I felt a connection to femininity—a longing, a quiet but ever-present voice inside me whispering that I was meant for a different kind of life. And yet, for so long, I pushed it away. Out of fear, out of uncertainty, out of a belief that perhaps I had to stay in a life that never quite felt like it fit. But the truth is, Sabrina was always there, waiting for her moment to shine.

And now? That moment has arrived.

Even when I was still known as Steve, I found ways to embrace my femininity in private. Whenever I could, I would slip into a beautiful dress, apply makeup with delicate precision, and step into a pair of heels that made me feel graceful and complete. In those quiet moments, I felt the most like myself—like I had discovered a hidden world where I could be truly free. Those moments were more than just indulgences; they were glimpses of the life I was meant to live, a quiet reassurance that one day, I would no longer have to hide.

I have found happiness in ways I never imagined possible. Every step I take in heels, every delicate brushstroke of makeup, every time I see my reflection and recognize the woman I always knew I was inside, I feel whole. For the first time, I am living my truth—not hiding, not pretending, but truly and unapologetically being me.

I understand that for some of you, this might be a shock. You may remember Steve in different ways—perhaps as quiet, perhaps as shy, perhaps as someone who didn’t quite seem at home in himself. And if you do, then you, too, saw the truth: Steve was never fully at ease, never quite complete. That’s because Steve was only ever a part of me—the part I was asked to be, not the part I was meant to be.

So to those who knew me then, and who find me now, I want to say this: I am still here. The essence of who I am—my kindness, my heart, my sense of humor, my passions—those remain unchanged. What has changed is that I am now able to express my happiness freely, to embrace my femininity without fear, and to stand proudly as Sabrina, the woman I was always meant to be.

If you are here, it means you are part of my story. And I hope that in reading this, you see that my journey is not about leaving the past behind, but about embracing the future with love, joy, and authenticity.

You are welcome here. Whether out of curiosity, support, or simple wonder at how life unfolds, I invite you to stay, to explore, and perhaps even to celebrate with me as I step fully into my truth.

With love and grace,
Sabrina 💕
