I'll try to write my own don't worry I aint gonna shy away from doing it myself:

Here is what I want any of you writers to do if you so wish:

Write a poem, lyrics or a short story with a character or something that represents different aspects of yourself BUT it HAS to have a happy ending or just generally upbeat. If you start of sad you HAVE to end it on a happy note!

Get writing! And post it within this post.

Before you

Lays the words

Of a woman

Long repressed

By others

And suppressed

By herself.

Until she realized

The inner truth

Of her soul

Which shone

With the brilliance

Of hope.

Struggling to overcome

Years of abuse

And self-loathing

Which were poisoning

Her very soul.

Each day of life

Marks another victory

Over the destructive impulses

Of hate and corruption.

This may not seem like

Much to you

But to me

They are huge steps

Of accompliment.

As I take

My victories

Wherever they happen.

Wll, here goes my little soliloquy!

From the moment ‘he’ was born, his parents have never been the same. They’re colder people, they are bitter people, they are hurt people. They feel cheated out of a son… Jonathan Nathaniel Lewis Chazer was born with deficiencies unknown to the medical professions at the time, with no hope of it being corrected. Mrs Chazer was no longer able to give birth after that day, and ‘he’ was blamed, all of this was his fault. Why else? Who else? What else was there to blame except the unfortunate child born into a harsh world unforgiving to his deficiency. The moment it was obvious the child was disabled the doctors agreed with the parents to never even whisper a word about his birth, as far as they were concerned Mrs Chazer had a miscarriage and the child died.

Johnny lives in the basement of his parent’s house, or rather as he is told to call them, the house of Mr and Mrs Chazer, who are kind enough to look after a friend’s child after she died. Feed him once a day, and give him the company of the pet Chihuahua and its as if nothing they did was wrong. It was all love, yep, they never did anything wrong, if anything they should be hailed as saints. Hell they even gave him music, why prosecute such great people, hell give them a Gosh darned medal.

Of course Johnny didn’t know any other life, he didn’t know what it was like to be loved, to be cared for and to feel safe. He knows what its like to be abused, to be unloved, to be spat upon, to be reviled, to be depressed… To be Jonathan Nathaniel Lewis Chazer, all he was told he would accomplish in life. Take what you can get, right? But Johnny wanted freedom, he wanted to escape into something more, to be more. He had a plan on how to escape, if he just put his music up high enough… There was nothing else. No one else. He was alone, he was invincible and he could be someone of importance. To him music was more then something you could just listen to, say yes I like that, no I don’t. He listened to it, he became it, and he was the hero of imagination an undeniable god of goodwill. He was happy, he deserved to be happy. Through the gift he was given of music, he gained the ultimate gift of happiness… No matter how much he was abused and yelled out there was always a way to turn it off.

Johnny’s deficiency gave him a horribly short life, and he died early in his timeline at the age of 14… He didn’t take anything in his life for granted; everything he was given was special and especially the music.

The question is… What does music really do to us? It affects us, infects us and makes us… Happy.

My little 500 word story on my view of just how important music is to us, as it is something that I encompass in my soul everyday. It also shares my view on take everything we have been given as a gift (As Johnny did the music) :) Personally I don't think the end was sad, I thought it rather happy! Johnny found a way to be at peace with the world, and die a happy person, even after the things he went through ^_^.

The Woman Within

While I do not like assignments

The pressure is too intense

Breaking down into dire laments

Filled with sadness so immense

The challenge has been justly made

To tell a tale of happiness

So from the task I shall not fade

Here the tale of tenderness

Once there was a young boy in a nearby land

A little small and a little odd it seems

No one could ever quite manage to understand

Why he withdrew into his land of dreams

For they saw him as a man

Oh foolish people of little sight

They read the label as a can

Never knowing of his poor plight

Trapped within this every growing frame

Was a young girl waiting to come forward

But for many years no one knew her name

The boy became a man but remained a coward

Hiding her deep within himself

Never letting her step into the light

Hiding her away upon a shelf

Keeping her in darkness out of sight

One day it became too much to take

There was no more way to hide her away

She burst forward her life to make

Basking in the sun of that glorious day

For now that boy who became the man

Has finished his transition

Finally the world will see the woman

Standing proudly in her position

The woman who never was a little girl

The woman that no one knew

The woman whose hair does lack a curl

The woman who was born anew

Her life had not been easy

Her troubles were not small

But now so light and breezy

She has conquered them all

Love ya,

Sally

THE PLAN

By Carolyn Marie

Once there stood a little man,

Who no one really knew.

Inside his brain he hatched a plan,

To himself he would be true.

The plan took root and soon became

The source of hope and pride.

He wouldn't live in doubt or shame,

The world would see the girl inside.

The plan was laid so perfectly

That nothing could go wrong;

In no time flat his friends could see,

The change in him so strong.

At last there stands a pretty girl,

Who no one really knew.

Inside her brain a plan unfurled,

To herself she is now true.

Open Eyes

It begins with one day

A sad one at that,

I never thought it possible

To be happy where I'm at.

Start to look deep within

Find out my truth,

Listen to the words I say

It's time to really move.

Cuz' I never found a thing I couldn't beat

And I never wanted things that I couldn't reach.

But it's only just begun

The Trials never end,

Is it such a tragic thing

To not have to pretend.

Nothing in this world of ours has ever come free

Listen to the voice inside and just let yourself be.

Time to walk a path in life set at our feet

Open up your heart this time it's what the world needs.

      I've been transitioning now for eight months but have been wearing women's clothing for 2+ years. I am over weight and approaching my 72nd birthday. I have purchase my solid color clothing online and recently graduated to 'V' neck tops. I have been hesitant to get anything more girly due to family issues, though with my hair style I am able to totally pass when dressed in a skirt and blouse.   About two  months ago I finally went and got my nails done (which I truly which I had done long ago) though not red nor pink (again family issues). To date I don't think I am having problems with being trans unlike others seem to have. The biggest problem I am having is with my clothing. Any suggestions my girl friends might have would be greatly appreciated.   Cindy

      Umm.... if a post is ignored, live with it?   My stuff gets ignored sometimes, and its OK.  My life is different, and may seem kind of wacky to others.  Some folks just can't relate, or if I'm needing advice they just don't have it.  Diversity is like that sometimes.  If your post gets missed, don't take it personally.  Also, stuff that is new on weekends seems to get ignored more, since most folks are busy with family or other stuff during that time.  Overall, I think people here are pretty helpful.

      I'd really love a professional stove.  There's actually one I want at Lowes, but its like $6k.  I've got plenty of money, the issue is that I'm not the queen (king?) of my den.  Or even of the kitchen.  My partner (husband's wife #1) owns that territory, and she's very attached to what she's got.  One of our stoves has 6 burners and a large oven, the other has 4 burners and a regular household sized oven.  And of course, there's always the wood-burning equipment.    Today was interesting.  We had the first campaign fundraiser for our sheriff and my sister.  My sister is running to be constable of our township.  Pretty sure she'll win, as her opponent is an old dude who is mostly running on "Don't elect a woman for a man's job"    What's weird is our sheriff is running as a Democrat, but he's conservative.  And his Republican opponent sounds like a leftist.  Welcome to Upside-down-ville   And of course all the kids got the chance to sit in a sheriff's car, and play with the lights.   We had a barbecue lunch and a dessert auction.  I baked three apple pies for it, and I was shocked that they sold for $20 each, since my cooking isn't that great.  My partner made her famous "Chocotorta."  It's like a chocolate layer cake with cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and it tastes amazing.  Usually we have it for Christmas and other really special occasions.  Two guys got into a bid war, and it sold for $175!!!    Yep, this is politics in the South.  Barbecue, pies, and police cars.  A great way to spend a Saturday

      Yes. That report is part of a conspiracy to torture and murder trans people. It is a lie. It is evil.

      TBH, I have no idea where to start with makeup.

      It seems plain to me, that this thing is simply a cherry-picked excuse to persecute trans people - especially trans youth in the UK.  And it will also be used here in the states to legislate against trans care here as well.   The right wing has already made up their mind about us, and they are just looking for "evidence" to legislate against us.     Seems like if they were really for "freedom" as they claim, they would leave us alone to live in our personal "delusions".   I mean, I have no problem with cis people.  Some of my best friends are cis people.

      I am so happy with Maybelline products. For my basic needs, I love their Magic Eraser. I used the app to dial in the best shade and it works great just -- even as a very light "foundation"

      I think this can be a big part of it. There are times when I just don't have the experience or expertise to respond.   Is there a specific post we've missed @Ladypcnj?  I remember that my intro post had less than 10 responses. Some of that has to do with timing, too.    I've also found that the more I posted to various threads the more responses I've received. But, I can tell you that there are times when almost no one responds to my posts. Don't take it personally. Keep posting where you feel comfortable and people will get to know you.   It really is a friendly and accepting place.

      Oh, the guilt can be overwhelming, can't it? It's kind of like the joke about the difference between Protestants and Catholics.   Protestants have sex without guilt.   Catholics have guilt without sex.   It seems as if guilt is just a natural by product of our gender identity confusion whether we have any awareness of it or not. We feel different and so we blame ourselves for not feeling as others say we should.   What a tremendously uplifting moment it is when we can finally shed that guilt. Bask in the relief, M.A.   And having the right therapist seems so crucial to me. I had, fortunately, a very quick and strong connection and trust in my therapist. She was a life saver for me. Literally.   Again, welcome to TGP!!

      For me, with my former therapist, it was almost more like a frog in a pot slowly coming to a boil - I don't think either of us realized the scope of what we were dealing with until fairly recently. And she helped me find my new practitioner, which was incredibly helpful too <3 It feels very strange and new - I've framed this, whatever this is, as 'being bad at being female' for literal decades, since puberty really, and the idea that maybe it's not my fault, that I've never done anything 'wrong,' is a little overwhelming.

      I had fun doing this a few weeks ago.  This is how I got rid of -money:     This music player code of mine is really working out nice.  My music collection is all mp3 files.  I put them on my server and then code things like that to play them and loop them.  And then I coded an app while I was in the mental hospital in 2009 that I use to transcribe my music with.  It's a Windows app and you can browse to an mp3 or use a URL to an mp3.  Once it is in the program, it looks like a normal music software timeline and there are sliders to slow it down and speed it up by octaves, semitones and cents, so you have complete control over what key the music is in.  And you can create loops in it and I added a feature a few years ago where it remembers all the settings so when you open it again, you still have the same loop set with the pitch settings.  I've been putting my favorite recordings in it lately, setting the funkiest loop I can find and then slow it down an octave or more.  Then I play drums to it and piano stuff, or pennywhistle.  I like playing drums on the floor.  Even though I got rid of money and well, I should have done that decades ago, I had a good time the other day hitting my bin of GO stones with my drumstick.   I don't know if I'll get flagged for self promotion here or not.  You know, I'm a musician and I'm just sharing ideas for how to listen to and enjoy learning to play music.  I'm not the only one who has made tools like this.  I'm really geeking out on my roommates drumset.  I learned to play in the 90's, but I haven't had a set since then.  I've been playing 5 gallon plastic water bottles as hand drums for 30 years.  They are relatively inexpensive and common and they sound great.  Very fun to play along to your favorite music.  And if you can slow the music down, it can make it easier to play to for some songs.  As advanced as I get as musician, I still enjoy just meditating on playing some simple pattern over and over.  Lately I've been playing an Emin7 chord going to an Fmaj7 chord on the piano.  It's all white keys.  You just play an E and then skip a key etc...  Every other key for 4 notes and then just move that all up one key for the Fmaj7 chord.  I just like the droning quality of it.
