  • A sense of dread may be due to an abstractly internalized experience of external volatility called “disembedding”.
  • Free-floating anxiety can be lessened by increasing face-to-face contact, talking to people you trust, and seeking experiences of older times.
  • Free-floating anxiety can also be lessened by asking three quesitons: What brings order to my life? What adds meaning? What brings value?

Love is a mix of feelings and actions that shows a deep liking for someone or something. Love involves caring for another. Romantic love can lead to things such as dating, marriage and sex, but a person can also feel for friends, such as platonic love, or family. There are also chemical reactions within the brain that can be triggered by the different types of love.

EXCITEMENT

The feeling when you expect something good or nice will happen to you. You cannot wait for it to happen.

You feel excitement when something very nice is about to happen. For example, when you are about to see a good friend who just returned from a year abroad, when you just received the keys for your new car, or when you are waiting in line for a thrilling rollercoaster ride. In each case, you are experiencing eagerness and impatience in expectation of the upcoming pleasant experience.

Excitement is more likely when the anticipated experience is both novel or unique and desirable. It is especially intense if you have been waiting for a long time to obtain the goal, or when excitement is shared with other people and the event makes you feel like you are part of something bigger.

Nostalgia is an emotion. It is the feeling of enjoying events from the past. People with nostalgia will often look at or use old things that they were familiar with years ago. This is because people feel more connected to those past times that they enjoyed, usually because it reminds them of how long it has been since they last connected to such past times. Examples where people may have the feeling of nostalgia includes watching old TV shows, using old technology that was very enjoyable, and playing with toys that you played with as a child. These memories are usually misleading, and can make someone wish that they could be young again, even if their childhood was mediocre. Human brains often leave out boring or bad memories, which can cause incorrect feelings about their childhood.

      Frustrating day yesterday.....   It seems the centre had used the "lack of enough prep time", and "you must get a full shower to be able to attend" to basically get their way. It is what it is, because I basically have no defence.   I did mention that female participants are scheduled with enough time for their hair and makeup, but their response was of course, "you are not female."   I can either abide by the rules or leave the program.    I did file a complaint yesterday about years of excruciating pain I endured in my leg that their doctor accused me of "inventing" because I "didn't have anything wrong with it." And how after vascular surgery the horrible pain has finally departed.  How it is absolutely absurd that medical professionals can minimise someone's pain like it doesn't exist.    Their reply, "well, at least your were finally seen by a specialist and taken care of."   The meeting did not go well!   So starting today I have two options. Either cut my hair off or wear it in a ponytail. I shall go with the ponytail. I will also let my hair grow until it reaches my hips, and I told them that as well. As long as it's in a ponytail at will be acceptable.

      I disagree with this...I don't think it is good news to tell parents they can't opt their kids out of sex/gender instruction at ages they feel are inappropriate, or that violate their faith.    However, perhaps some good will come out of this.  I hope it totally destabilizes public education, or at least yields robust state voucher programs so parents who can't afford to homeschool can send their kids elsewhere.  It might even encourage some folks to move to areas where they fit better.  One of my husband's friends lives in Montgomery County, and has two kids in the school system there.  They've been talking about leaving, long before this, for multiple reasons.

      Its after midnight, so... good morning?   Looks like no traveling for me this week.  Some of the expected orders from Houston never materialized, so there are fewer shipments going out.  Instead of having to help out with transport, my husband gets to stay home.  Not that I'll miss Texas, but I was looking forward to some road time.  Oh well.

      If the Supreme Court isn't taking on this case or many others, I would guess that it isn't as "conservative" as many folks fear.    However, I wonder if the reality is worse.  I'd prefer a ruling either way, just to settle this stuff so we know where we stand.  By leaving things relatively undecided, they're prolonging social upheaval....we're being used as a distraction.

      They may feel disappointed or aggrieved, but that's on them. It's on society really.   In the end, who should really care other than you and the higher power(s) you believe in? I haven't been a willful volunteer at all in my adult life (if ever), I surely did so as a youth but can you consider that willful if you're required to? Since allowing this part of me to shine I have been more active in the community, volunteering and participating in society in ways I never did before. Perhaps you'll feel the same when you allow yourself to.   My wife and my kids all see me and how I've changed. I haven't hidden it away from them, but I realize I may have lucked out with their general acceptance. Where the struggle comes is from my internal fight with putting it out in the world. "What are your pronouns? Have you changed your name?" are all asked of me and it feels like a lot when I just want to be me, but I understand where it comes from. That is why I resolved to register as my nickname and use She/Her at the HRC conference, because I owe it to myself to have permission to embody who am I. Now it's just finding a new job as this person that I am and not the person I thought I was--not eschewing the past, but realizing that there's no reason to feel that that was a better me.   It wasn't.

      Bingo for me!!. In some ways I wish it were more cut and dry. Like some folks on here who knew when they were 2 years old that they were a girl (and everyone else around them knew too). I don't have that. I do have a fascination & enchantment with the feminine that started very young. It is both something I am attracted to (like tonight at Target I couldn't keep my eyes off all the beautiful females in my midst) and something I aspire to be and connect with at a deep level.    For me, there has always been a drive to express this feminine dimension outwardly through clothing. I can see that thread from all the way back when I was a kid. I have always wanted to wear girls/women's underwear. And I have always pushed the boundaries of wanting to wear girl stuff under my clothes, though I've known that if I ever got caught (in high school, on my swim team, by my wife!) there would be hell to pay...   This drive continued through college, into adulthood, into marriage (even though I thought that would solve it because I could finally be intimate with a woman and it not be a "sin")... I always felt such shame about this part of me until about two years ago I finally started asking myself, "what is so wrong with this?" Once I gave myself permission to explore this further, and with the help of a therapist who for the first time validated my experience instead of shaming me, my "egg cracked" and the embers were fanned into a wildfire (sorry about all the mixed metaphors, lol)...    Now I have a whole closet and drawers full of women's clothes (many of which I only wear when I am alone), I am separated from my wife, my kids have an inkling of my feminine side but not much more than that, and I am two months into "covert" HRT wondering when/if there will come a day of reckoning when it becomes obvious what I am doing...    I guess deep down I just feel like a misfit and that my life could have been/could be so much more impactful and that I am a giant disappointment to everyone around me...

      I made the pumpkin pie this morning.  I like getting older and getting better at making this pie crust.  I've never purchased a pre-made pie crust.  I make 3-4 pies a year.  Mostly pumpkin pies, but apple and blackberry when those come into season.  For about 15 years, I was buying about 2 medium carving pumpkins a year and cooking/pureeing them and putting them in 2c measurements into the freezer.  I started getting lazy a few years ago and am just doing cans of pumpkin now.

      My parents didn't show me my birth certificate until I started going to school, in the meantime until that happened,   I was mostly seen wearing boys' clothes, but my mannerisms mostly female without the use of hormones. My parents thought I was going through as phase, until one day things took a physical turn in my puberty years, which resulted in a family car ride to the hospital emergency. I had my share examinations, treating doctors could not come up a diagnosis what was happening to me. I would soon discover I was born with a hidden variation or undescended, which could had been ovaries inside. Things got to the point which resulted in surgery, I didn't know about. I asked for my surgical medical records, but access denied. So, I live with a surgical scar, and take medication.

      It's something John Green said somewhat recently referring to the Emily Dickenson poem "Hope Is the Thing With Feathers." The poems first stanza reads   “Hope is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all -"   It's a beautiful and helpful poem, but what was life changing for me was what John Green said in relation to the poem. "Emily Dickenson doesn't say that one never stops hearing the song of hope, only that it doesn't stop playing... The song of hope is still singing. And I know you can't hear it, but one day soon you will."
