Hi
I sometime feels like peoples who are born in the body right for them are lucky in a way , that it was given to them by nature at birth , while we have to like getting it (in parts) ourselves , like not given to us already , and how it feels frustating for me at times to actually have to get this body , that it wasnt like this gift at birth like the others , and that we sometime face from the other peoples like disagreement with it while it was a free gift for them , or that we actually also need to pay money for it while it was free gift for them , that we are dependant on the others peoples acceptance or help to get it while it was just given to them by nature , sometime it makes me feel sad or upset at that they dont see the luck they have to have gotten it as a free gift from nature while its not as easy as that for us .

I sometimes feel that people that are born with a body that relates to them are lucky. But I also see that people that are born with bodies that don't are also lucky in a way. We get to see life from a different aspect that others just can't imagine. We get to see life from the point of view of both genders.

While they might take their bodies for granted we know that the body can be changed to what we want it to be.

I had a long relationship with a model, not a super model, but almost ... a really "peach".... what I found was that this beautiful girl with a perfect everything did not see herself in all her beauty, and the poor thing was besiege by insecurities....

Everybody has something good and something bad....you (we) must find your strength on built up on them.... beauty is more than bones and skin....

courage,

One aspect of getting our new bodies is I take very good care of mine now. I did not do that before and treated it like an amusement park. 

It is too easy to look at others and be jealous of what they have. Every upside has a down side, but also the other way around. For transgenders it is more of a challenge to find people accepting you for who you are, but we know who really stands beside you. I also have known gorgeous people (men and women) and they got their own kind of struggles. People would literally go out with them and fake a relationship with them just so they could brag about it with their friends.

Might sounds cheesy to say it but a project I am working on has as a quote:

"While you are wishing to be someone else, someone else wishes to be you"

This is true. People also admire you, but people let their negativity out a lot easier than anything positive. So you will have to keep reminding yourself that.

OTOH, when we start seeing ourselves as we always knew we should be, the euphoria we experience is beyond anything that cis people feel.

I whole-heartedly agree with Kirey.  I am 6ft tall and for many, many years I hated it because girls aren't this tall.  I'm more OK with it now mostly because of other tall women I have met and the many short woman that have told me they wish they were as tall as I was. 

So there it is, I wish I was short and the short girls wish they were tall (over generalization I know but hopefully it helps).

Well, being lucky to have a naturally shapely body shouldn't deter those who don't. We all have things about us that we don't want even when we have things that we do. Flaunt what you've got. Positive attitude and an awesome personality will always be far more front-and-center.

I do regret the way i have treated my body in the past, being overweight aside i have damaged skin on my face from welding without wearing a mask (this is from over a decade ago but has improved on hrt) and tons of scars from when i was a kid as i wasnt very careful, heck i nearly cut a finger off once with a saw so have a lovely scar there

My arms are spotty and dark from damage from welding so much years ago, so is my neck where the helmet didn't cover it well. Luckily, my face has great skin. 


I berate myself regularly for not protecting my arms and neck well enough, especially when I had the gear to do it. 

I forgot about welding burns from molten metal, have a few of those too, thankfully as i was so damn hairy my skin elsewhere is unaffected from the uv of welding, its just tiny patches on my face under my eyes, stupidly welded up my car one time with no mask as i was too lazy to put the car on ramps or stands
