Seeing ones body change reallly does make one feel truly happy. The fears about transition which had once consumed me are becoming momentary and fleeting. My hopes were not delusions. With all of its ->-bleeped-<- life is so much brighter moving forward. I am more aware of the beauty hiding in the world around me as I find it in myself.
It's less about passing and more about not letting life pass me by ;)
Sounds wonderfull!

totally true hon. I'm enjoying this puberty immensely better than the first one lol :laugh:
The only good thing about the first time was the whole 'getting tried as a minor deal' which I don't even think exists anymore.
I was trying to describe what your'e talking about to a friend the other day, and she looked at me funny and said "so...you basically feel...normal?"
Isn't it nice not to hate being alive? Congrats sweety :-*
Just kinda a philosophical question, but if you never felt normal up to this point, how exactly would you know what it feels like?
It was her interpretation of what I was describing, I just thought it was a neat sentiment.

Me too. It's like: So this is what I'm supposed to feel like - how wonderful. :D
I think going through puberty the first time is miserable just being that age. Having the wrong hormones kick in made it
really miserable. This time is
much better. ;D This time it is glorious! 8)

It is, as long as that's what you're aiming for. I know I wonder about it from time to time. I was sitting with some people and they were talking about how much they hated getting up and going to work, and how much they hated their job and all, and I had to really think back, like 30-35 years to remember such a time in my own life, and I wondered which way was 'normal', mine, or theirs? Because for sure, most of the people I work with don't feel that 'hate the job' deal either.
Other times I'm struck by how much, and sometimes seemingly how fast, normal changes. They had a DVD of Hawaii 5-0 on at work the other day, and one of the people watching the scene said 'Ahh, the good old days, when you could smoke in a hospital.' Because McGarrett and Dano were standing around in a hospital smoking. Some of the younger people were aghast that anything like that ever happened, and I'm thinking that it happened in my lifetime.
Glorious is the perfect word K8!
