How Funny Things Are

[Guest geek_girl]

a lil backstory first. well i got the number of a therapist that is in my area and has seen alot of TS in the area, i'm to the point of debating if i really wanna go through with all this, well i do wanna but i'm nervous lol. so after work today i went to a chinese resturant with my freind. i got my forturne cookie and it said "You will make many life changes before setting satisfactorily." lol hmm do you think its a sign lol i just thought it was funny and thought i would share it with you.

Girl....

"you will make life changes before setting satisfactorily"

Well, you make life changes every day. Pretty strange i must agree...So, when will you "set satisfactorily"? Weird, I must admit. Musta had you thinking. Never a bad thing, thinking....

Don't open that next cookie, though......

I had a simular incident when I decided to make my start on the road of transition (saddly I am still @ the starting gate lol) I had just finnished eating @ a chinese reasturant w/ my wife & I had one that said "You won't see true happiness w/out becoming one w/ the truth". I took that as one hell of a sign as well as having almost 2 months non stop of dreams w/ me as a woman in them, but once I came to the acceptance w/ this I had become really happy really quickly & the only thing that is making me mad currently is the fact that it is taking me so Gosh darned long to get things going but I know that it will happen.

I didn't get a fortune cookie, but while still trying to decide what to do (a major concern is passing) I was having lunch with my mother (I had shoulder length hair but still had my mustashe) the waitress approached from behind me and asked, "What would you ladies like to drink?" She saw my face and appologized - I didn't mind.

A week later I had removed the facial hair and when I was sitting at another restaraunt the waitress looking right at we aske, What would you like for lunch, Ma'am?"

I took that as a sign that I could pass!

All this talk of fortune cookies reminded me of how once i decided I was TS, I decided to do a tarot drawing (when I was looking for my faith, i passed over wicca, and kept the deck). Sorry this is so long, but plz read! Anyways, heres what I drew and how I interpreted it:

before i say anything, id like to tell u that each card has a meaning that is generally used in readings, but i seem to remember that u also should use 1 wat is depicted in the pictures and 2 what immediately occurs to u wen u draw the card

the first card i drew was the 8 of swords, depicting a woman tied up, blindfolded and surrounded by swords

i was going to just draw one card, but i refused to give up after seeing something like that - i looked this card up later and it represents a situation wer u lose either way, but as u wait, ur making it even harder to move, just like me not coming out

the next 2 were the Justice and the Devil

the justice immediately made me think of trials, challenges, and the devil shows a naked woman and man bound together, so i interpreted these as many trials and difficulties relating to the transition between these two

looking these up, i found that the devil represents pleasure and ambition and the justice represents a balance between the positive and the negative

next, i drew the justice again, which at first, i wanted to get a different card, but later decided that this represents how this is not a straightforward process - two steps forward, one step back

finally, i drew the Hierophant and the Queen of Pentacles

the heirophant shows a woman raising her hand in blessing and means divine guidance and approval

the queens usually represent a person - i took it to be me - and it represents verification and results. also, she seemed much more in control than the woman in the first card

overall, the first represented my current/previous state, the next 3 represented my near future state, and the last 2 represented the eventual goal

i hope

all in all, it was one of the most successful readings ive done

oh, and also, since i kept saying i would only draw one or two more, but i was unsatisfied with wat i got, i took that to mean that perseverence would be needed much
