A Good Day I Would Say

Hello all of you lovely people,

First I just want to mention how amazing everyone here is and how even though you are going through an increasable amount of hardship and difficulty in your lives that you are always the most friendly and courteous and wonderfully welcoming and warm and amazing people I could ever encounter. Both the world and I are truly blessed that you are all here and so open with your hearts and struggles. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and everywhere there is warmth and compassion within me. Everyone here really pushes me to be a better version of myself, a more honest with myself self, and a more giving self. All of you make me smile.

... ... ...

... and ... now my day ...

For some unknown reason, when I finally rolled out of bed at around 8:30ish, I started to just really realize that I am Amy, and the other person is just a dream. I started crying happy tears. And I know, that would be enough, but it gets better. Then I barely make it to a friends yoga class that she is teaching (oops) and it was amazing. It was just 4 students and 3 of them I would consider friends. It was just the 5 of us girls. My body is now tired but feels amazing, and I get hugs from three of the four others (one person I didn't know, not THAT open). Then, after a Qdoba small breakfast burrito and a cookie, it was time to sit with a friend and just watch FraggleRock. Next, a nap.

Now I am procrastinating after some activity on my paper. I got to read about all of your stories, both the good and the difficult times. I wish I could meet and hug each and every one of you. Please remember that everyone here is exquisite and has character that most can't even imagine. Thinking of the kind of people I meet here is a talisman that I carry with me always, reminding me that there is true good in the world, and that it is worth fighting for.

Amy,

Today was starting to become a really difficult day for me and then I read your message. A smile came over my face as I realized you were saying exactly what I needed to hear and your day sounds great too! You helped me to see that these people here are absolute proof that the world is not all evil and problems, that there are wonderfully beautiful people on this earth and I get to talk with them regularly here at Laura's and other places.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for lifting my day a little bit.

Amy, that sounds like a really great day. There comes a time for most of us when we realize that the dream has become reality, and we can be who we were meant to be. Those are amazing moments, and wonderful experiences. I'm glad you had one of those today.

What you said about the members here is very true. Just don't lose sight of the fact that you are one of those lovely, warm and compassionate people, and are part of the whole.

HUGS

Hi Amy,

Sounds like a great day. But I have to say, one of your comments I particularly appreciated. Anyone who likes FraggleRock (Dance your cares away, worry's for another day!) is someone I like immediately. I have HBO and saw it when it first came out and even saw the final episode (which was that happy/sad kind). Loved every moment and all the characters (Marjory and the doozers were favorites).

Amy:

What a WONDERFUL post!

Thanks so much for saying this. Made my day, and it was already a great day! Appreciate it muchly!

Like the others, I've followed your posts intently and love 'em all. You've got what I call The Soul. What can I say? Rock on! You know, I believe you've made the biggest step in transition ... feeling that you really are HER! That's the biggie. IMO, HRT and surgery and whatnot just match your body to THAT realization. The realization, however, is THE THING!

Funny, I arrived at that point some time ago. Know what you mean. How wonderful. Loved reading about your day. I've yet to experience girl times like that. Don't know if I ever will, but I'm glad YOU do and that the others here do too.

;) Lacey

Postscript:

Your avatar is simply splendid. Who IS she? Like, OMG ... to look like her! :blush:

Hello Amy,

Sounds like you had a great day.

I so loved Fraggle Rock. We have the DVDs and it is one of the shows I play when I just want a boost. They really taught some good lessons in life.

A big hug to you.

OMG! Everyone here amazes me so much every time I come on here. Every one of you seems to raise the bar each and every day.

Thank you all for cheering for me and everyone here at Laura's. I am really glad that my smile could also make others smile.

      Good morning @Adrianna Danielle   I’m glad you agreed to the paternity test.    My Uncle found himself in a similar situation and after the test he was faced with explaining his infidelity and one night stand to his wife and family. Not only did the test come back; “YOU ARE THE FATHER” she looked like a sister to the other children in his family. This was a “23 & Me” moment confirmed by an independent test. The most important reason for the young lady to search for her father, was medical history and peace of mind. The blessing of the test was her understanding and willingness to disappear into obscurity. That was not what my Uncle or his family wanted to happen. She was family and they wanted to know her and eventually love her as a family member. The next 4th of July family gathering, she was introduced to the rest of her extended family and I gained a cousin. My prayers for you as you navigate all the possibilities, and I hope it works out for everyone involved.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Well I’m short on time again!   I had to move to the couch around 3:15 this morning. Unfortunately my wife’s med vac was making a lot of noise which woke me up and I couldn’t sleep. Then I over slept because my alarm wasn’t set correctly, my fault.    @Mirrabooka Hobart is a beautiful city and Tasmania is a wonderful place to visit. I was there several times in the 80s.    @Birdie Texas isn’t the only state with such laws.  Don’t try going to a public bathroom in Florida either. Now there laws aren’t based on chromosomes or anything like that but it’s a birth certificate as far as I know.  That Texas law is a tough one, really anti transgender in all respects. Except!  What if you have an extra chromosome?  Or DNA that’s flipped?  Did they think of that situation?  Medical theory suggests that is the case when it come to Transgender people, but especially the young ones.  Also, IQ, that tends to be higher than average.  There are a lot of things about us the medical science is studying, not just psychology.   got to go   Willow

      I started estrogen (oral) a little before age 50 and not the maximum dose either and also no blockers. It almost immediately accentuated the feminine features I already had, and expanded my already soft areas of skin, widened my hips and distributed more fat to my thighs and increased my breast size. There seem to be some subtle changes to my face too though I doubt I am any more passable than I was a decade ago, it’s just nice to not use breast forms anymore. I haven’t switched to injections as planned and there really hasn’t been much change after the first 6 months and my body fights back; my E levels dropped and T increased even on the same dose so it has not really done much for me. It sounds like injections are the far better way to go, plus progesterone after a while if the doctor will prescribe that.    As is often said, everyone is unique and one’s mileage may vary, and what works for one person may not for another.

      This is so sad. The violence in general in Washington State seems to have ramped up a lot, and gender-based violence and hate crimes seem to be worse as well. My parents once lived in Renton but I don’t care for that city and never go there. I don’t think it really matters though as crimes like this can happen anywhere and often are perpetrated by a male who was in a prior relationship with the victim.

      I’ve never been in therapy specifically labeled as such, butI think IFS therapy evolved from treatment of dissociative identity disorder in which one’s various alters or parts are treated as an internal family, and each part is like a separate individual who can be spoken to individually or have dialogue with other parts. In a person with full DID, doing that supposedly helps to break down the dissociative barriers that cause that person to not be able to remember what they did for parts of a day or longer. This was the case with me.   Anyone’s mind, though, can be thought of as being compartmentalized to some extent and we all can have an inner child and various aspects of our selves, yet the dissociation is never to a degree that it causes problems like with DID. But the same aspects of working with an internal family or different aspects of self, like the inner child, the rebellious teen, the persecutor parental type, etc, can help heal trauma nonetheless. I think many of us do have sides of us that we don’t like, or others don’t like, and it can be useful to examine how they came about and what purpose they serve as they are often a means of self-protection or coping with anxiety.

      We had soup and steamed rice for dinner tonight.  Simple, basic, feed-a-ton-of-people kind of food.  With strawberries for dessert!  We have a huge strawberry patch, so I spent a couple of hours this afternoon picking.  And there's some left over, which I put in the downstairs kitchenette.  Time for a late night snack!     Outside of meals, I mostly live by nibbling on fruit and a few green things.
