  Yes, Liz, sometimes life just sucks especially when it sucks for a loved one. You'll get that paperwork all approved and get your new passport so you can go visit her and let her know how she is loved by you.

Hugs,

my on-and-off (currently off) boyfriend telling me all about his new girlfriend. it's even worse considering she used to give me relationship advice and would try to help us get back together the other times we broke up :(

 The holidays have made me more sensitive than usual. That and having so much free time makes me think about my ex ALL THE FREAKING TIME. I can't get him out of my head. Oh well a few more days and these vacations will be over.

 This is just a small thing but.. Today we received a box from my sister in Colorado. You know the one that took my daughter's side in her public Facebook attack on me blaming me for a lot of things and stating she was not accepting me as trans. Well my sister supported her and said she didn't support me either.
  Anyway this box arrives addressed to  Leonard and Karen. I left it for my sister Karen to open and went to my electrolysis appointment. When I get home I see this big (the biggest one they sell) box of chocolate covered cherries. It is well known that I like these and I usually get some at Christmas up until this year, until this box showed up. I picked it up and took it out to my sister and told her to give it to her son and his wife. She asked,  "Why? You don't want them?"  I replied. "They were sent to Leonard and he isn't here anymore."

And what has been my #1 area of dysphoria has struck me for the first time in a while...

Just trimmed my hair around the sides pretty heavily after letting it grow out a good bit for about two months. :/ Down from about an inch and a half or two inches to down to 3/4 inch. I was taking stock of my regrowth from hair regimen and realized that even if it has been very positive and showing great results so far, I still was nowhere near the point I could grow hair out and look like anything but a medieval friar or aging rock band roadie. Even at 1.5-2 inches it was looking really bad. So I bit the bullet, and trimmed to a reasonable length that doesn't create quite as much of a contrast with the still very thin parts of scalp.

I just want my own hair so bad I got ahead of myself, letting unrealistic expectations and images run rampant. Someday I'll be there... but not today, and probably not even two years from now after I have to wait for meds to have done their thing and then go through the transplant process(that recovery time alone...). *sigh*

Not a huge deal all things considered, just a nasty dose of reality.

 It could be worse Ellie. I doubt I have enough hair left to be able to do transplants. Still I vainly grow what little hair I have out.

I've got one of those gnarly headaches I get from time to time that make me wonder if surviving was such a good thing  :P
The main things to remember in life are Love, Kindness, Understanding and Respect - Always make forward progress

My sister sent me a photo of us from a few years ago when I was 22. It makes me very sad. I looked like I would have benefited so much from hrt then and these past few years I've been in limbo would have made a difference... I deleted it so I don't keep looking at it and beating myself up over something I can never change

Hon, Never worry about the past nothing can change it. Fight for every second of now and plan and live for the future. The past is immaterial.
Live your life and love it.

When I came out to a friend of mine, he told me a story to illustrate exactly that point:

Imagine you're sitting in your car facing forward. In front of you there's a huge windshield and a tiny mirror.

Looking through the windshield you see what's in front of you - the future. In the mirror you see what's behind - your past.

The sizes of the two views represent their relative importance to your life.

Acknowledge your past, but embrace that beautiful panoramic view in front of you, and keep moving forward.

Quote from: christy-lee on May 11, 2006, 07:45:32 PM
yeh i would gladly switch places with u :)

ive known pretty much all my life but only really smart enough to realise what i knew at 13ish

well i knew around about 15 actually because 2 years before that i spent wanting to be female for a guy and i found how natural it for me as a female

was he was bi curious so so we were together for awhile but he broke it off  :(

Was chatting with a ftm heh

Me trying to figure sh!t out, i now realize it wasnt just for that guy, i was using him as an excuse to think about it.. or atleast give myself permission to think about it? idk ...., also i feel like im alot more secure about it then i was back then, well kind of yes and no

I know im def not Bisexual...
