Pour My Soul Out of Its Cage

[teeganjane]

With only a couple days until my endocrinologist appointment, I started reflecting a lot on my reasons for going through this transition, to basically reaffirm my belief that this is what I must do. I asked myself the question, "What would you do if you decided to remain a male?" And the only answer I could think of, after a long period of thought

That's a great attitude. It reminds me of a Gurren Lagann Quote: You know why people have eyes in the front? Because they have to move forward to see the landscape in the distance... if you had eyes in back all you could see is your home town getting farther away, you can't move forward like that. If your eyes are in front what you see in the distance keeps getting closer, that's what lets people move forward.

I wish you the best in getting closer to who you are :)

Hey Congratulations on being sure of your direction.

Its been about five months since I made the decision to start hormone therapy, and it was great decision.

Never forget the reasons you started it.

I hope things go smoothly for you!

Best of luck on your appointment! It's a big, important deal.

I know what you mean about using drugs to cope and trying to fulfill other roles in a futile effort to avoid being who you really hard. It takes a lot of courage to be yourself as it has its own hardships, but the alternatives are so much less healthy when you really think about it.

Yeah, I agree. I'm happier than I've ever been, and sober too. There's definitely something to this, to put it mildly.
