Wow - What a gorgeous couple - you two look great together!!

Lisa K - Your hair and figure are amazing! Beautiful!

Unfortunately for myself I have had a turbulent last 4 weeks, a few highs and a few dozen lows. Hoping things pick up a bit.

Take care,

Sonja.

@Sonja

Hey All...

Last night found me trying to summon my hair into some kind of loosey goosey 60s Brigette Bardot / Suzanne Sommers kinda' thing and modeling more California winter wear! (Trigger Warning!... Older Woman In Swimsuit... Proceed At Your Own Risk!)

I can still never get over the sight of you in a bikini I just hope that my body ends up looking that good right now it's Up For Debate

If you can't accept yourself,  how can you expect others to accept you?

Ashley,

If they ever have a competition for most successful transition, I'm gonna throw your name in.  Is that OK? You are quite stunning.

True Words Sister!... Acceptance and Loving the self we find at our core is essential ingredient in all this... The fact we can refuse the cards we are dealt and refuse the game that the world dictates we play never ceases to amaze me... For so long, I did not see it could be so... That I could make my body to be a reflection of the person inside... The moment I realized it could be so... the decision was made... I am the only one who has to dwell in this house of flesh that I was given... if I want to change the outside and have the house re-plumbed... Then so it shall be!

That made me wonder - are we really refusing the cards we were dealt? or simply finding a way through them that suits us and feels right?

Accepting those cards wholeheartedly!

Def yes, refusing what the world dictates.

You can turn and walk through the angry croud unharmed. It does not exist.

Well by knowing that you're at 5 years now I definitely have hope for the future because I'm only at 8 months LOL

I guess it's more trading them in for new cards because we didn't like the ones dealt... Still in the game though!!! 😀👍

Seoul Gangnam district.
Air pollution is severe but the weather is fine. I purchased a hat in a store in the underground.

Sonja, unfortunately with transition there will be those ups and downs. It especially happens during the early phases of transition
It's like that barrier that you have to eventually get through.
For me it hit hardest around months 3-4-5 then faded away after that.
Now I hardly ever feel doubt... Actually I don't feel it stall tbh

You will get there don't worry

Barbie,  I love the hat!  I love hats like that and similar in style.  It's a shame that the air quality is so bad there.  You need a "fashion mask"!  LOL  And...since you're in the Gangnam district are you going to do the dance...Gangnam Style by Psy??  ;-)

Having worked for over 6 years for the laboratories who brought disposable face masks into this world, I would like to point out that most pople use non suitable masks to protect their respiratory tracts!  A protection is only provided by masks that clearly identify the substance they protect against.  Smoke normally consists of fine particle dust, and a suitable masks should be classified as respirator (Atemschutzmaske in German - don't you like the ability of the German language to create endless long words?), and the particle kind should be indicated on the packaging.  Most masks one buys for cheap money are not protecting the wearer but the opposite person against any water droplets ejected from the wearers mouth/nose.

So I think I sort of found a middle between straight and wavy that should be acceptable to dietlind just going to leave a slight wave/curl at the bottom

If you can't accept yourself,  how can you expect others to accept you?

Very cute and becoming little sister!...  My advice (thatyou didn't ask for!!!) as far as a "look"  ( hair, clothes, nails and everything else) ... is try out everything and settle on nothing!!!... I've gone through so many styles, looks, colors, etc in the last 6 years and I love chasing what's next to try...  Love Ya Girl 🙋‍♀️💕

Onward we go!!!!
