Chapter 1: The Soft Secret

Hi, I'm Aaron.

This is the story of how I came to feel most like myself-not through what the world expected of me, but through what I quietly discovered on my own. From childhood moments of curiosity and softness, to years of secrecy, to eventually stepping outside padded and proud, this is the layered journey of becoming who I really am.

It's about more than just padding-it's about shape, comfort, confidence, and claiming the right to define my own body.

I've written this story in chapters, told in the third person, so I could see myself clearly-as both the boy I was and the man I've become. Whether you're here out of curiosity, understanding, or your own quiet journey, you're welcome.
