Thank you all for your responses, as folks who are confident of who you are even though you have had different life journeys, you each possess a perspective that I do not. I find it helpful that I can ask these questions as sometimes I cannot see the woods for the trees.
This morning I was watching someone do a cosplay tutorial for Nebula from Guardians Of The Galaxy and she had a really hard job gluing and hiding her hair to put on a bald cap to then paint over - I would totally have an advantage if I ever chose to cosplay her and my friends would be blown away if I got it right. (hope comes in the strangest of places sometimes).
I use my blogs as a journal Monica, I do not write them for others, but mostly as letters to myself, I just know that sometimes other people read and interact with them. It gives me something to go back and read and I can quickly remember how I felt and what was on my mind. It is why I try to keep up with weekly posts even when I am not necessarily blogging about trans issues. I have never been one for keeping a diary but have found that kind of journalling useful and therapeutic.✍️
Thanks Christa - I guess that I do still struggle with whether or not this is going to improve my quality of life. Being Dee at a Pride event was one small moment, it was a weekend full of fun and without all the normal day to day mundane moments of life so I am trying to work out if I feel more complete facing these as Dee and if so why. I am still working out what do I truly want and need and why?
