I tried replying to your sweet and thoughtful email but it didn't work so I'll post it here.
Again I want to thank you for being who you are. I myself have been hiding in plain sight until last October. I wish I had the courage to start when I was 20 but I had the fear of man in me and feared losing my family meaning parents and sisters the whole rejection thing. So I lived as many do I'm guessing in a relationship for a few years and then breaking up never really in love with the other because I never understood myself and never truly loved myself. In October I finally dropped my act of hiding to my family they were supportive and they never saw it coming I was really good at hiding. Now I'm seeing a gender therapist and am learning how to be patient and positive. I have good days and bad but I can endure them now that I have a direction to go and not just existing with no hope of the future. I started electrolysis and am seeking a doctor so when I can start HRT I can't wait to do that. In the meantime I'm working a ton and saving money and doing what I can to feel like myself anyway sorry to ramble on. Thank you for the heart felt email it means a lot I really appreciate it. Have a great evening ttyl Sister Jade[emoji16]

Natalie!... Thanks as always for the sweet, kind and supportive words dear sister!... I hope jealousy never comes into play around here... life is too short for a negative emotion such as that...I seek only to remind others that the changes they may seek lay ahead... one foot in front of the other takes us to our destination...
Jade!... Thanks so much for the sweet reply dear sister... I believe your ability to respond to PMs is when your post count hits 15... That lack of connection you have always felt in your relationships is what brings many of us to transitions table.... how can we ever feel others love us or that they truly know our love when they have never seen or known who we truly are?... At it's core, transition is an attempt to place ourself at a place in our life, where we can truly give and receive Love... A worthy and spiritual quest indeed!!!... All this we put ourself through is to make real connections with ourself, others and the world...
Keep doing what you are doing Jade!... Working towards making your life into what you want and need it to be... Find little ways to make progress each day towards your goal... It can be as small as just skin care or as big a step as you want... but ever forward!!!
Your life is now pointed in the right direction so each step brings you closer to what you seek... a life finally and truly your own... Enjoy every moment, every step and every challenge along the way... The entire journey is amazing, full of insight and life lessons, and... not to be missed!!!
Fear not...
