Since coming out to myself, I've noticed differences in my thinking. At one point it was going to be just clothes and nothing else. No shoes, no makeup, no jewlery. It didn't take long before I said OMG I NEED TO PAINT MY NAILS! Then I said I should get a necklace with Ashley on it. Yesterday I went to Kohl's and now have actual outfits I would feel comfortable wearing in public and actually have in my neighborhood however, I couldn't wear my favorite dress today because tennis shoes don't go with it. Even just now on a walk with my dog, I'm like eww I need to get some shoes. Its interesting how I've changed as a girl the more accepting and embracing I am of my girl side.

We discover new and wonderful things about our authentic selves every day, so long as we are gentle and encourage it to blossom...

Wish you all the best in your continued journey.

Isn't amazing? When I think back to January, when I came to my decision, and my attitudes and what I want are so different. I am glad you are exploring and embracing who you are.

Me too. I'm so happy to be me that I forget about my all my dysphoria issues for the most part.
