Becoming me

[Jessica_Rose]

I still have a long way to go on my journey, but today I realized something that overshadows all of my doubts and fears. Before starting my journey I looked in a mirror and thought 'Wow, you are going to be one ugly woman'. I started the journey anyway, hoping HRT would perform magic and that one day I would at least be average in appearance. Today I suddenly realized that it does not matter whether or not others think I am beautiful, plain, or homely, what matters most is that I will finally be 'me'. No matter what others may say or think, I know that I am beautiful and unique. In all the world I am the only person who can be me. After all these years of living in darkness, letting my soul into the light and simply being me is all that I need.

Those are beautiful words to hear.  I agree that part of your health hinges on you feeling good about yourself.  Accepting life as who you are is the reason your going through all this.  Though I do admit I do want to be pretty.

Another Jess 💁‍♀️

Jessica,

I think you now understand why I'm not sure that a magical button to transition the body over night is such a good idea.  It takes time for the mind to catch up.

Keep it up girl.  Your doing great.

  Hi Jessica Rose,

   I am glad to see you have had this epiphany. It is true that the one that really counts in our decision to begin this journey is ourselves. In addition to starting you've discovered that  you are the one that needs to be happy with who you are and that if you are then everything else just falls into place and the journey continues on. Keep putting one foot in front of the other Jessica, it will get easier from here.

Hugs,
  Laurie
