"Gender is like a Rubik's Cube with one hundred squares per side, and every time you twist it to take a look at another angle, you make it that much harder a puzzle to solve."
Every transgender girl's path is a little bit different. As time passes and as I experience a kaleidoscope of different people, places and things, I have learned that nothing is simple...least of all us.
My heartfelt conclusion to what it means to "Live the Life" is that there really is no final hurrah. (At least not for me)...and thats a good thing.
Not a single day has passed, in my transition, that I haven't felt like a wide eyed child who just discovered something new and amazing. The LGBTQ community often times dwells on the difficulties we experience in our "Alternative" life styles. God knows I've felt the hurt, the fear, the hate, the mockery and all the rest of misery that so many of us have had to live through. I have the deep scars to prove it.
I also felt the indescribable joy of discovering who I am...not who people think I should be. My fear has dissipated...its gone because I let it go. Haters will keep on hating and to be quite frank about it...thats fine with me. F*ck them!
Kinksters enjoy what they perceive as our "dark, seductive, forbidden" nature. (They so dont get it!) Oh please don't get me wrong...There is no kinkier creature on earth than yours truly..lol..but something wonderous has also happened.....my soul, my nature, my heart, my very essence...has changed. *Permanently.*
I truly believe we are the luckiest people in existence...bar none! We are pioneers in our own lives. We explore, we learn, we fall and we get up...AND WE GROW!
Please excuse my long winded diatribe but ya know what? I am starting to realize... I seriously like me! Take away the makeup, the heels, the provocative posts and all the trappings of femininity and the essence of a woman is still there!
OMG...When did that happen? (Lol!)
Even more amazing, I'm a happy woman whose soul soars at the beautiful opportunity that was given to me.
I hope with all my heart that all of you experience what I'm trying to express in words and probably failing to succinctly do so. Some of you KNOW EXACTLY what I'm saying. Some of you will shrug your shoulders at the ravings of a "crazy bitch" and move on to the next post of a sexy trap or some other "eye candy" And that's totally fine...I get it! But if you have ever felt even a fleeting moment of self actualization because of your personal choices...hang onto it with both hands because dear ones...you are approaching heaven on earth⚘
