Had an exciting realization

So I've still been going back and forth in my mind over making decisions and feeling right and all that.  I know this is normal, and I would be remiss if I skipped the doubt phase, but it still has been irritating to say the least.  But then there are moments that so bolster my decision to transition.  The other night, I was looking at Facebook, and checking out a couple of new photos I'd taken.  People were loving my look and all that, but then I had this thought that I will eventually work with/be friends with/date people who only know me as Aria.  Those who will see pictures of my former self, hear stories about him, but never have or will actually met/meet him in person.

I cried.  And laughed.  And then I felt an overwhelming sense of truth.  The truth being that I am a woman.  I am Aria.  So any new or further anxieties or doubts don't need to be dwelt upon.  I was waiting for a click, so to speak.  Instead, I got cymbal crash  :) :)

That is so awesome to hear! I had a similar experience myself. For me it came when I went to a party with my boyfriend to meet all his friends for the first time and he introduced me as Raine. I also realized at this point that they would never know the boy I used to be. This made me smile like such a goof.

Also have to point out that Aria is one of the prettiest names I have ever heard!  :D

Much love! <3
