I can really understand the power of this. I was at the grocery store last week and a cashier called me "darling" - the word stayed with me for hours :)

I went to the county courthouse yesterday (the same place where my name change hearing was) to work on my passport paperwork, and the security guys were smiling and nice as always. I always set off the metal detector, so I have to get "wanded" and was asked to step over here, ma'am. Then upstairs in the office the clerk was busy with another customer, and when she was done, she called out, "are you ready, sweetie?" [emoji5]

I also got some new clothes today and I got a top that really ties together a few outfits I have, I feel way more confident in my clothes for tonight now!

I'm not feeling well today, someone at work shared a cold with everyone. However, I am wearing my first piece of jewelry. It is a small (1/4 inch wide) silver bracelet that says 'Find Joy in the Journey'. Feeling it on my wrist and reading the inscription makes me happy.

I had an amazing time last night!! I had a few glasses of wine (I know I posted about having issues with this recently, but I was having fun and celebrating last night) and I think I'm done with drinking for a while. I drank slow but it still ended up giving me a stomach ache and I couldn't sleep well, and I didn't even really catch much of a buzz. Anyways, I had a great time at the drag show I went to, I had no issues from anyone there and I didn't run into anyone I know (aside from my friends of course), and I think my makeup is the best it ever looked! I'm gunna post pics in my HRT thread!

Just this morning, I'm at work, wife's at work. A couple texts back and forth. It's this last one. I teared up like crazy, had to choke back the water-works.

verbatim, as typed:
I have "Faith". Love you. Have a great day.

I left the door open, only a few came through. such is my life.

Wonderful!

You may have seen this when I mentioned it elsewhere, but my anthem and inspiration while coming out was the theme song from Star Trek Enterprise, Faith of the Heart. Enough said.

I'm in the same boat. Just not feeling up to it yet even though emotionally I've been craving companionship and closeness. I feel like I'm frustrated sexually in a way now lol

My understanding sister bought me a new black plunge bra for Christmas, the one I wanted with a wide 3 hook deep back band and wide straps.

It wasn't available in A cup, so she got it in B cup, plus a pair of silicone cleavage enhancers to make up any voids.

But after swooping and scooping, I can easily fill the B cups with my own boobs!

I had this dream last night, well its more of a recurring dream actually

i ended up in my body from a parallel universe, where i was born female, but i read my journal and spent a day there and it seemed like everything was the same, even down to the dysphoria (ie same people,family, situation, etc wanting to be a guy, feeling trapt, alone etc, i was just as geeky as i am here), the only difference being is that i was born female in this universe, and somehow i was able to chat with her/him and we agreed to stay in our swapt universes and then i woke up

made me feel really happy :) until i realized im a boy again when i woke up
Whose that girll?
ITS CHRISTY

While I was out I got my first phone call for Stephanie, from a florist advising that they'd made a delivery to my home. It was a bouquet from my little sister to her big sister.

I got commissioned to make a copy of a sculpture I designed years ago.  It feels good to cap off 2017 with a sale.

you know how far the universe extends outward? i think i go inside just as deep.

10/11/18 - out to the whole world.  100% friends and family support.
11/6/17 - came out to sister, best day of my life
9/5/17 - formal diagnosis and stopping DIY in favor if prescribed HRT
6/18/17 - decided to stop fighting the trans beast, back on DIY.
Too many ups and downs, DIY, purges of self inbetween dates.
Age 10 - suppression and denial began
Age 8 - knew I was different
