5 and 1/2 months until surgery

Birthday today, and. 5 and 1/2 months left until gender reassignment surgery. I've been on a wonderful journey of discovery of my true self which started in the spring of 2007. I remember when I told my sister, my friends, my coworkers, my mom. I remember the day I created my website to post my transition pics and tell my story.

I remember the day I got my ears pierced, I remember showing Linda at work the next day. I remember the day I went full time, I remember my initial make up woes which Linda helped to correct. Each and every day since the spring of 2007 has brought me more happiness than I could have ever imagined. I am very blessed to know many wonderful people. I have done things that many people only dream about and that some never even think about.

Closets are for clothes, not people.

I live each and every day to the fullest and enjoy my life. I've had a challenging moment or two here and there, but my determination, my strength, my stubbornness, and my "absolute unwillingness to tolerate b.s." has gotten me through the tough times. One of my favorite quotes, "I WILL MAKE ME HAPPY AND ANYONE WHO DOESN'T LIKE THAT CAN GO F*** THEMSELVES IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS". YOUR APPROVAL IS NOT NEEDED.

I lived 49 years trying to be good to everyone but the one person that truly matters - myself. It was time that I support HER, even if no-one else does. After all, I'm the ONLY one I know for a fact will be with me until my final day.
