Add fail to ask for directions and drive around for an hour like an idiot and I can say "I've done that"

Dennis, you forgot the tragic accidents that begin with the words, "Hey, look what I can do."

No no, it's "watch this. Hold my beer."

I can honestly say for me, T had a calming effect.  Or maybe it was the combination of T plus hysto...the first month on T I still got my period and that incited an ugly rage (but then, my period always did that).  Since starting T I no longer have anxiety, I'm more confident, and as a result much calmer and 'zen'.  I guess I've always been that way, but the whole wrong body thing was irritating and I was far more stressed living that way.  All of that tension has dissipated.

Well, if we can equate this to anything like medication, half of it is mental.

Sometimes we don't allow ourselves to be calm or at peace.
Don't be scared to fly alone, find a path that is your own
Love will open every door it's in your hands, the world is yours
Don't hold back and always know, all the answers will unfold
What are you waiting for, spread your wings and soar

It's not always smart to let the sober one drive either.
Guys, we need more gas money... hour later... guys we need more gas money...

Why did we need so much gas? To beat the Porsche of course!  :icon_suspicious:

I'll take my chances with the sober one, Leslie! :laugh: Even if it might mean using more gas!

My worst experience was hitchhiking with a friend from Monterey to Seattle back in the mid-seventies. We got a ride on the ramp of U.S. 1 in Santa Rosa with this fellow who had us and two other hitchers with him in the car. He also had a bottle of hash oil into which he continuously was dipping his Marlboros as he chain-smoked and was well on his way to finishing a case of Budweiser.

The trip through the redwood forest that night and past the rocky coasts of northen Cali was ... exciting? :laugh:

Even in the dark at 65 mph with a totally wasted driver I was ... very impressed with the size of those trees and the depth of the chasms made by the headlands! :laugh:

Have found the emotional rollercoaster I used to be on all the time has stabilized some.  Though I still get anxiety, and my temper hasn't improved but don;t think it's gotten much worse either.

Still can;t talk to my father though without breaking down in one form or another though.   Lot of anxiety with him.
Every day we pass people, do we see them or the mask they wear?
If you live under a mask long enough, does it eventually break or wear down?  Does it become part you?  Maybe alone, they are truly themselves?  Or maybe they have forgotten or buried themselves so long, they forget they are not a mask?
