Grieving over your "past life"

[sneakersjay]

Yes, but it was very brief.  It happened approx 1 year into transition, where I found some old pictures of me when I was looking pretty cute.  I was like, why couldn't she be happy? For a brief second I missed her as a person, like an old friend. But I never missed BEING her.  Because I never really was.  She was pretty cool, all things considered.

I don't miss her any more, though.  She pops up and threatens to embarrass me periodically.  I hate that.  I wish she'd stay boxed up.

i kinda think of it like i had a twin who passed away. i wish i could've been happy as/for her and she had wicked awesome focus, but overall, I'm much happier/more accomplished now.
I do miss the amazing attention span though. A few months into T and it just took a nose dive

I looked back the other day...and it just seemed so strange to me...and disconected. I really can't imagine or remember my life as being the other way anymore...it just seems so off, if that makes sense. so grieving? not so much...yet, its just not like its a part of the real me or me at all. lol

No, I've put my transition on hold, but I'm not going to become another person. Besides some physical aspects of my body and how the world sees me as female and not male, I live my life how I would otherwise.
