Confidence...with A Capital C

Having lived a hetro lifestyle in my past life,

I was slow to make eye contact with men in my real life.

I found out early,if I didn't make eye contact with others in public,

I felt less stressful about(if)I passed.As my body started taking on

the attributes of a woman,I slowly gained in confidence in my abilty

to slide on by and be preceived as a woman in others eyes.

Yesterday,I for the first time,made hard eye contact with a man.

I had gone to the IceHouse,(convenience store),for a few items I

needed.The clerk was standoffish at the start of my transaction.

I was cool and kept a smile on my face,chatting with him,like any

woman would,who finds a man attractive.He went from being kinda

rude,to not being sure,to being friendly,thanking me for my business

and to please come back again.Looking me in the eyes,really checking

me out,smiling as he said it.Now that was a giant step forward for me.

And that is building my Confidence,with a captial C.(smile)

Big Hugs,

Angie

Good for you Angie!

Now that is the way a bio woman flirts with a clerk. ;)

      As we know online rules are usually created by a team of people, basically the guideline rules are to keep everything running smoothly, and everyone is treated equally, and most importantly the code of conduct to make sure no rules are broken. My concern is, what happens when the online community rules (in general speaking) can have an impact on the freedom of speech? Perhaps it might had been artificial intelligence, that took down a post I made on the internet, somewhere else. I know I haven't broken any rules, I was sharing a true story experience I had about online safety, so it doesn't happen to anyone else.. then the post was taken down. I felt to frustrate the time and energy I've spent typing out my experience what happened to me, and then poof it was gone  lol  What can I do about this? lol

      @Heather Shay you keep opening these cans of worms!!! 😄   I'm not a musician; I've barely strummed a guitar ever, but I LOVE music.    As far as influential voices go, I invite you to consider these homegrown guys, who continue to give me earworms. I hope that you listen to and can appreciate them:   Jimmy Barnes   Daryl Braithwaite   Very best: John Farnham

      I've listened to this song an excessive amount of times.  I always play this when I power up a new music studio which is basically what I have going on today.

      I tend to think of most energy politics from the demand side.  It's boring to think of just the "usefulness" of food, clothing and shelter, but outside of things like this that are so basic, we are very wasteful in the pursuit of things that are not necessary.   I tend to go through phases in life every few years where I just become meditative.  You know, it's a fine thing trying to capture this methane in the landfill, but the NET gain from it must be pretty small.  There must be a massive amount of propane that is just burned in the refining of oil.  At least that is what I understand from what I've read and processed from information on the internet.  I've been thinking about how gas tanks in cars have become pressurized over the last few decades.  It probably has something to do with ethanol, right?  I had this crazy idea last year that ethanol might be made from corn cobs.  They have to do something with them.   The problem with addressing things on the demand side is the old "buy American" failure of sorts.  I think the truth is more complicated than simply calling it a failure.  The idea of a world factory with parts produced in a central location making manufacturing more practical seems reasonable.  Reducing demand for energy is a fine idea, but is there some similar logistical problem with it?  My feeling is that it would probably work with some coordination.  We did survive without all this industrialization before.  I think the most exciting part is using mountain bikes instead of horses.  @awkward-yet-sweetand I got into a thread that exposed that idea.  Oh my, I'm laughing again.  It's such a cool idea!!  Bikes are wonderful as long as they are stored indoors.

      Thanks, @Davie. I signed up. I've been a Miami Heat fan for years which already makes me love D & all the Wade family. But beyond athleticism, they are such good and inspiring people doing good and having a positive effect on culture. Bless them and their ventures.   Here's Zaya's instagram account if you want to see some of her gorgeous modeling. You do not need an instagram account to view. https://www.instagram.com/zayawade/

      Featured on a local TV station lately is an ad for The Animals, touring for the last time apparently, who are appearing locally! This band was huge back in the day. I don't possess any of their music, but it is very familiar to me. To me, they are a cross between the Stones and the Doors.

      Getting back into a normal groove here in my new reality.  Got up at about 3:20am.  Had a cup of coldish coffee leftover from last night.  Posted the rest of my bike parts that I need to pass on.  Did some of my daily writing.  Checked in with my best friend.   I'm moving, so I've been working hard on getting everything out of my house and cleaning up.  Things are progressing quickly and I have this idea of having an extended meditation session in my empty house for a month or two.  I'm not sure if I can slow down that much mentally, but I'll give it a try!

      ❤️   I'm a 2-minute walk from the edge of my town. From there I can stare at paddocks infested with 'grasshoppers' (kangaroos to you!)   But yes, being close to nature is its own reward. 🙂

      Good morning everyone,   The puppy has been walked, fed and watered. Coffee is brewing, I’m watching the news, while the cats are taking in the smells a sounds of the back yard, since the back door is open.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Feeling emotionally numb is associated with a number of mental health disorders, including anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. Emotional numbness can also be a sign of schizophrenia, depersonalization/derealization disorder, or dissociative identity disorder.
