Happiness...what a great feeling!
It's been a while since I've updated. It's not as if interesting things haven't occurred lately, it's just that I haven't been motivated to write them down.
So...where to begin? It gives me great pleasure to report that life in general is quite delightful. I haven't been this happy in a while and to be honest, I'm not exactly sure how it happened. One day things just kinda fell into place. I thought that surgery would really make a difference in the way people looked at me and reacted toward me, but instead in fact it just changed the way I look at myself.
I tried on a dress this weekend and as I looked in the mirror I gently sobbed in the dressing room. I don't know what it was, but I stood there paralyzed, completely engulfed in emotion. I stood there staring at myself. It was as if I was meeting myself for the first time. I felt beautiful. I felt content. I felt sincerely happy with myself. I actually liked the person I saw looking back at me in the mirror and I bought the dress that helped me come to that realization.
The dress wasn't the only thing that made me think though. I owe much of my recent happiness to my friends. The most amazing people on this planet are the people that I am fortunate enough to call my friends. I am in awe of their love, compassion, intelligence, wit, and talent. Every day I am reminded just how lucky I am.
P.S. I'm dating my best friend. The love of my life. It just doesn't get much better than that. I must have done something terrific to deserve you.
