Acceptance....

[MelissaAnn]

Acceptance, more often than not, is a journey into the cold hard truth; A place in life where the rawest aspects of someone's most personal issues are put on display. It uncovers insecurities and forces the conscious mind to acknowledge things that the subconscious mind has worked hard to keep buried. As I came to terms with my own gender identity I began to look at the world around me to see just what I needed to do in order to start my unmasking. After seeing my endocrinologist and receiving my scrips and having them filled. . I opened up each pill bottle and took out the appropriate amount and before popping them into my mouth I asked myself one more time, "Is this what you really want?" I then answered myself with a resounding yes and popped my first dose of HRT into my mouth and swallowed it down with some water. I had begun my journey into authenticity at a medical level, I had made a commitment to myself to face those insecurities, those scary facts, buried in my subconscious in order to finally be the woman I was always meant to be. I had finally started my unmasking...!

Learning to accept yourself is the starting point. Nothing gets better until you reach that point. After that, you're on your way.
