Alright, so I stepped back earlier and realized everything has been about being trans in my life as of late. I decided that I needed to focus on none transition stuff so I decided to make a list of top 10 things to do in my life not involving transition, thought maybe some of ya'll would want to join in with your own lists.
1. Go to Ireland with my mom
2. Graduate with some sort of college degree
3. Own a pug (yeah, that one sounds kinda stupid but it's important)
4. Marry an amazing person
5. Live in a place I love
6. Spend some time getting to know my brother and sister who I never see
7. Have a job I enjoy even if it means having to have 2 jobs.
8. Start leasing a horse and riding again maybe even own one
9. Live my life with no regrets just some things I wish I'd have done differently
10. Actually live and be happy, not afraid to be me.
1. Live in italy
2. get married to a beautiful woman, again!
3. publish some books, poetry...
4. See my kids grow up to be awesome people

6. Get a micro transdermal implant
7. Live in an apartment
8. Become friends again with my exwife
9. Become a counsellor and change peoples lives for the better

Gah, why Ireland and why is it at no.1....how much do you like rain?
I wrote out a list of what I wanted to accomplish when I was about 21-22. It had about 30 items on it. The only two left undone is that I have not climbed Everest (and no doubt never will, I'd still like to get to the base camp, I'd settle for that) and visit all 50 states. There are still a few to go like Alaska, Maine and South Carolina.
- Get SRS
- Go to Cornwall
- See Paris
- Get Married as the Bride.
- Own a House again
- See All of my Grandchildren.
- Trace my Real Family tree
- See Ireland
- See Full Equal Rights come to American
- Be called 'Mom" by one of my Children
