Once I accepted who I am...I feel happiness and peace are in sight!

[Guest CD Laura Savatore34]

Hello all,

This is my official first introduction to the public as Laura Savatore.

I'm 35, married with children.

When I was young, being a Hispanic "man", it wasn't acceptable to have any female desires.

But secretly I would enjoy seeing women being so loving so caring and passionate.

As any young boy I also felt homosexual desires, but at the same time equally attracted to females.

About ten years ago I decided these desires that were hanging over me all my teen years only meant that I was Bi. And I accepted it. Now, as a grown man with responsibilities, the desires of a Bi male are still there. Just that in addition to that the feminine desires have elevated to a height where those previous experiences of wearing bras and panties, and wearing dresses, and using my mothers and cousins make up have installed a realization that that comfort, that peace I felt, is what and who I am.

Only I know about it. My fascination of transgender did come out years ago, but I was able to convince all jokingly that it was nothing.

Now, sadly I get these thoughts of just running away, leaving all, and starting new as Laura. But that is not fair to what I have already built.

So I've accepted it but it's time now for everyone to know; I'm tired of hiding these feelings. And I do want to be happy.

I have searched for groups and groups, and hope Laura's Playground members, who all sound so so supportive, can help me.

Welcome to Laura's Playground Laura,

I found once I transitioned I started to grow. It's like something missing in my life was filled. I still struggle but do fill more whole.

Thanks, Ladies.

These last couple days after posting this, I can't believe the happiness, I've been feeling. Now, all I know it hasn't been great every second of it, but I remember more the happy seconds. If that makes sense?

Thank you again ladies, I feel this has been a very good decision.

P.S. Laura loves conversation!

welcome Laura,

I am new to the group as well and have finally accepted who I am and I am truly blessed to have a wife that also accepts me. I hope you have a wonderful journey with your newfound acceptance. We are beautiful and special both on the inside and out and I am finally enjoying showing my beauty to everyone and I hope you do as well. This is a great support group. I hope to help you and others with my experience as I hope to benefit from yours and others experiences.

Hugs and kisses xoxoxo Lynnette

Hi Laura and welcome! I also am fairly new here as well. I know the feeling you and Lynnette are speaking of quite well having finally admitted to myself and accepting who I really am a few months ago. It is such a feeling about beyond description. This journey will have many trails and take us to many places, but we are blessed to have the wisdom and warm guidance of those who have traveled the path ahead of us. You have found a good place, welcome!

Hugs,

Allison

Enjoy the moments that you are in.

Hi Laura

Great to meet you! This place is a wonderful community for people like us. I know how you feel: the wish to run away to a new life against the reality of sticking with what you have built. I think many of us feel that, certainly I do. I have made my decision to stay as my male self and just indulge cross-dressing when I can. And under-dressing most of the time, of course. I think it is for the best.

Good luck! Hope to hear more from you.

Hi Laura,

I am also very new here but so far it has been comforting to find so many who share my experience (to some degree or another). It was also a relief for me to finally acknowledge my desires to express my femme side, and I also had dreams of being in a place where I could just be this way all the time. But, like you, I have built a life and a marriage and I want to keep from destroying that, so I accept that I have to be a guy sometimes. Makes me treasure those moments I get to myself to dress up and feel that peace and joy that come from expressing my feminine self.

Good luck, welcome, and I'm glad you're here.

Life for us is hard much harder than others have it

My feminine desires are as strong as I love playing video games and loving my dog(I play lots of video games and I care for my pet as it was my sister)

I've accepted who I am but im still on the journey of descovering my true self.
