What would you tell your pre-transition self?

[Ashey]

To my 5-year-old self: "You're a bit too young to understand the way you feel but just remember to always be yourself."
To my 8-year-old self: "Keep playing as the pink power ranger."
To my 10-year-old self: "You don't need to keep crying yourself to sleep wishing you were a girl. Be strong and BE that girl. Read about transsexuals and hormones. There are things you can do!"
To my 13-year-old self: "I know you hate your body, but please.. don't bottle it all up. You WILL survive high school, but you don't need to pretend to be someone you're not.."
To my 20-year-old self: "I told you not to bottle it all up! But now that you know you want to transition, DO IT! Mom and dad aren't going to hate you or disown you. You can do this!"
To my 26-year-old self: "Ugh, just hurry up and find a therapist! The money you're wasting on ordering out could easily cover the costs!" >.<
