Title: What... its allready over?!?!?
Post by: LynnER on October 14, 2007, 05:06:57 PM
Well, today is october 14th....  two days before my B-Day...  The day where a year ago I couldnt go back...

Its been a hellish year, allot of it not directly trans related.. or related to my RLE...  Really as far as that goes this year has been pretty decent...  I cant believe Its allready over and I can get my GRS letters...

I really cant believe how anxious and paranoid I used to be about this... it seems so... normal and routine for me anymore *shrugs* Ive been congratulated a few times already but all in all, it really just seems very anticlimatic....

LoL, now for the hard part...  the $$$$$ needed for surgery....

Hey, congratulations! And happy (early) birthday!

Yep, it's weird, in't? I STILL say transition is much more about us getting over *ourselves*, over our own internalized fears, than society getting over us ;)

Its more about your fears. I have said that before in other posts. Once you get over your fear then you will be fine. Fear is your worst enemy. You still have to do the work. Happy B-day Lynn.

Thats awesome!  Good luck getting the $$$!  I am still figuring out how to do that myself...  If you figure out how to turn lead into gold lemme know!

Congratulations on your birthday, and on your progress!  What a great milestone!

I know about the money part, it's tough.  But I know you will find a way.

Sorry to hear about the bad stuff, but happy to hear that the trans stuff is going well.

Keep up the good work, and keep your chin up, the other stuff will go it's own way at some point.  The future is all yours.

Aww, SRS is just icing on the cake.  That doesn't make it any easier to wait, though...

Happy Natal Day, Lynn ;D,
