I just wanted to know in this post, what are some of your victories?

My victories are when I can get up off my rear and just be who I am, not caring what people might think about it, worrying little about saftey or security. Not that saftey and security are not important, but concentration on those thoughts tends to get you muddled, and stop you from being what you want to be.

My greatest victory was to find a partial of myself; to explore and discover each fraction, each fragment -- its scent, its taste; a blooming perfume of a life untouched, still fragile; as glass -- melt -- at times impalpable, but seen at last; gazed upon -- stared -- noticed and realised; regarded, accepted, and caught in a beat -- heartbeat -- while brushing passed my veins[...] Lived through breaths, through thoughts embraced -- a vivid spiral wherin engaged -- fearless, unchained, with feathered wings; invisible but gained -- a siren sings -- and guides, and places illuminated footsteps upon a path once dark; to lead to not rocks, but a tranquille plateau[...] And I can finally laugh -- to realise no walls remain, replaced by ancient fields where I may stray.

You know how I said I lacked the courage to be myself in the failure topic?  Well, I think one of my victories has been that while I did lack the courage to be myself in many situations, there are other situations where I've always been myself.  I have always dressed the way I want and I always speak the way I want (as far as manuerisms and speech patterns and language are concerned).  I never tried to be anyone else (I guess my failure should have read "I tried too hard to please other people and didn't honor myself"...that's a better description). 

That's confusing, Jaimey.  Boo on you.  (I also talk to myself...sad  :-\ )

Mostly I mean, that even before I knew what androgyne was, I WAS androgyne outwardly, in some respects.  I think that counts as a victory...

You know, I'm rereading this...does it make as little sense to you all as it does to me?  But I can't really explain it any other way!   :-\  I suppose there were somethings that I could sacrifice even if I shouldn't have and there were other things about myself that I was unwilling to give up.

To be victorious, be yourself!
Don't to be an Androgyne.
Don't try to not be an Androgyne.

If you try to be something you are not, you are doomed to fail.
You will only succeed in deceiving yourself and others.
Your life becomes a lie.
Living a lie is the ultimate failure.

HI,

   My big victory is finding out who I am and accepting it and liking it.

   Next one is finding people in my life who more than just tolerate my messy mind.

   Next one is knowing you folks because I just did not know that there were like minds out there.

   Next is finding that I have the courage to take steps in my own life that would otherwise have been impossible if I did not like myself.

I think our biggest victory is to understand each other finally and be able to work together in balance. Coming to see whats been there my whole life despite how strange others may find it and holding fast to it nonetheless is the victory we celebrate.
