Title: I promise
Post by: DawnOday on July 09, 2016, 06:39:03 PM
I promise I will no longer portray myself as Dawny Downer.  I'm finally letting go of events that occurred 37 years ago. I am going to look to the future and embrace it wherever it takes me. I am changing my relationship with God as I always held him accountable for my depression and he wouldn't answer prayers. Not true. I have breasts which I prayed for at twelve and I am going to start HRT which was where I wanted to go at seventeen and disappointed with the equipment I was given.  I have truly had a blessed life and should be happy and now I will only think happy thoughts. Thanks for putting up with my rants.  There is a brighter future out there.

Hugs to all

Dawn

Hello Dawn!
I am new to this but I just wanted you to know that I am glad you are going to see the world
in a much happier outlook. Just remember even at the darkest night there's still light. Find the light
follow it and you shall prevail and be happy!

with love,
Tama

That was beautiful Dawn

I don't know how often I have never looked back at where I was compared to where I am today. It takes a lot of personal growth and inner strength to take ownership of the work we've accomplished. A lifetime of Shame and Guilt over being, feeling, "Different" is difficult to nearly(?) impossible to undo.

It takes work

You need to be congratulated for that work. And you did it the best way possible. By doing it for yourself  ;D Which... at the end of the day, the ONLY person that really matters
