Hi, I feel like I was just born after 20+ years of depression, thoughts of suicide, and fear that I was some odd freak. Thanks to one person who I was able to tell my "shame" to, It took me a few years after to really understand that it wasn't too late, and that I don't have to live live as a boy named Bryan when I've spent my entire life thinking I should be someone else.
Whose that someone else's name, I don't know yet, But I like her already, I've decided I want HRT and will be taking the steps to get there this year, which includes coming out to people around me, which still honestly scares me... but I'm tired of not living my life due to that fear.
=] A lot of it was thanks to seeing that there was people like me. I'll always hate myself for not being honest with myself and being brave when I was younger, but the future is my goal now.

I know I look a bit ugly (urgh my teeth .-.), but this is me at the end of a long road of self hate and at the start of a long road to becoming me =]
Hi welcome to Susans! :) Congrats on your discovery. You are right. It's never too late!
Also on a side note, I just had some sour candy not too long ago. Great name!
See you around!

Hi SourCandy, :icon_wave:
Welcome to our little family. Over 6802 strong. That would be one heck of a family reunion.
Feel free to post your successes/failures, Hopes/dreams. Ask questions and seek answers. Give and receive advice.
But remember we are family here, your family now. And it is always nice to have another sister. (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsmileys.on-my-web.com%2Frepository%2FAnimals%2Fferret-3.gif&hash=f49e2f86761323f2abd9c33941920389dbb3b10f)

Hi Sour Candy, it's nice to meet you! It's good that you now know where you're going. We're all walking the same path, let us walk with you. Hugs, Devlyn
Hi Sour Candy,
Just thought I'd pop in to give you a warm Aussie welcome to Susans..
Hugs,
Kelly
Thank you~ *hugs everyone* =] I honestly am tearing up right now, It's just good to not be mostly alone in my own head anymore. (I tear up at everything though so it's not that big a deal lolz).
Something tells me that family reunion would be a lot more fun than the ones I had when I was a kid.
Hi SourCandy!
I am sure when you need supportive people you will find them! I live out here in KS with my transmasculine (possibly FTM) finacee. This is not a state known for its support for the LGBT community, but we found an actual Transgender support group for him to attend to aid in his transition!
Lots of love from the midwest to you!
WELCOME, SourCandy!!!! ;D We're so glad you're here.
Focus on the future, babe. We're all here for you.
SourCandy- you are not alone any more.
Read, chat, learn, live.
Hi Sour Candy
Guess what ? Cindy looks around to make sure she isn't overheard, You are welcome and you are no longer alone. Ssssh don't let the others know.
Hugs and Welcome from Aussie Land.
Cindy
