Quote from: V M on February 15, 2014, 10:29:04 PMI use to love ice skating, except for the time my hand got run over and I nearly lost a few fingers in a pile up    There was a lot of pink ice that evening

I need more practise. It's been 4 years since I last skated and 10 years since I last fell. Fell tonight on my left leg almost at the end of the skating period, but knocked my right knee to the ground and hurt that more. Can't walk all the way home on it, so I'm staying the night at a friend's apartment. But now I have to go out in the morning without makeup, and what little chance of passing I had is quickly erased without it.

Pessimism leads to poor expectations leads to bad results.

If you expect the worst you are usually going to find it.

I have to go to classes starting in a little over a week from now for a food safety certification thingy. Blah, I hope going to the college for it won't be a pain and I don't run into some ignorance there.

Feeling a bit lonely at the moment.

Thanks, Shan. It means a lot.

I'm just feeling lonely, ugly and unwanted.

You're not alone honey, we all feel that way at times. You're not ugly either, so change that tape that's running in your head by getting your focus on something else right now. I always make plans for each day, maybe something positive that will keep me busy working out some new and positive means to move ahead with my transition.

Thanks. I'm just still trying to get over the breakup with my ex girlfriend. A lot of things happened and now, I feel so unwanted and alone. I feel no one will ever want to be with me.

I'm alone in my transition. I came out to my mom but she still treats me like a daughter and keeps making up excuses to not call the Pride Center in my area like she said she would. I feel I'm going to be stuck in this female body forever.

This are all things that we can all relate to, it happens to each of us in many diverse ways not unlike what you're going through. I feel for you dear, just keep in mind that you have a big supportive family here who will be understanding and as supportive as we possibly can be on an Internet site. I can plainly see that you are young and so keep in mind that you have the better part of your life ahead of you, there will be some tests and you will prevail in time, so even though it may seem like "Henny Penny the sky is falling down" understand that it's just temporary and try to take the long view and picture where and who you want to be in five and ten years down the road from today.

Thanks, everyone here has been really nice and supportive. I'm just going through a rough spot.

Boobs = girl, right?

Indeed.

Among many other things. I don't know too many dudes that would have their testicles removed and take estrogen. Not to mention the fact that every stranger I have ever met has called me a girl. It's even happened around my dad. I don't know about'em. Bunch of friggin idiots. But, as I said before, this is why I don't go around them much.

Strangers still see me as male
Whenever I say my name is Willow, they think I pronounced it wrong and write down William.

I always thought so but am coming to see that this isn't the case as often as one might think. I have been walking around Las Vegas with somewhat visible boobs (my fat definitely helps camouflage them, which I am grateful for) and it has been constant sirs all day. And solicitation from prostitutes lol. No indication that anyone sees me as a woman.

When I realized I could no longer bind I was sick to my stomach. I was convinced I would be forced to live as female until they were lobbed off. But for whatever reason people overlook them. Again I think my weight is a huge blessing to me...but yeah I don't get it. Sad to knows it works in my favour but not yours

Thought a friend was going to send me a message, guess I was wrong 

Im finally looking in the mirror and seeing a blossoming girl but i have to hide her. Im so tired of all of it. I just wanna be me...
