Krista’s Celebrations and Doubts

[Finally Anna]

Getting support from my wife took time, but it made all the difference. Her green light launched my full transition. I had to do it anyway, but she made it easier. 

This! 💕

I'm starting to think I'm deceiving myself because I'm starting to think I look ok. Maybe even attractive. 

A good male friend of mine is clearly attracted to me. No issue there, just a legitimate opinion that clearly is true to him. 

I've had many people tell me I look beautiful. That could be supportive falsehoods. I've assumed that. But just maybe some of them believe it???

The new wig is part of it, perhaps. Maybe the bold red lipsticks I feared are GOOD shades on me? 

Part of me is terrified that I'm Cinderella and soon the reality will hit me. That common fear. I look like an old guy pretending. That part of me wants to deny anything positive about my appearance. 

Then there is this tiny voice inside me that says...

"Krista, you may not pass, but you just might look better as a woman."

And the really scary voice, "Krista, you're pretty."

Nooooooooo!!!!!!

Yessssssss!!!!!!

If people call you beautiful without prompting, i would take that. Its rare and great sign. You've definitely got this.

Krista, if it gives you a confidence boost I would take it. It does not matter whether they mean it ( though they almost certainly do), they took the time to boost your confidence and that shows they care. They did not have to do that.
