What Did I Say About Living in the Moment?!?

Appearantly I do not listen to myself. I get a date with a really cute girl and I am already searching on the web for how to perform an atheist wedding. I must write on the old pad of paper a thousand times “I will not plan my own weddings until after I know this person“. Maybe then I will get it into my head that I am supposed to get to know people before I start falling in love with them. But regardless, I am absolutely enamoured by this woman and I am so anxious to meet her. And of course, my rational mind has gone completely and hopelessly astray so that I can mentally dance among the tulips with this girl that I have never even met in person before. Is this a bad thing? In and of itself, no. But I have to mentally remind myself that we are not getting married or even moving in right now. We are just going on a date. Nothing more, nothing less.

I’ve Got a Date!

If a girl needed anything to boost her self-esteem, it’s actually having been asked out on a date. I met her on an online dating website and she was the one that made first contact. I know that I am generally jaded about online dating websites but to be honest, I was just using this website for the tests (in fact, that’s how I found out about it - and I’m not alone in that fact). But when I changed my profile up a bit, a couple of people contact me - people who actually made first contact. And while at first, I thought that it would actually be just a few people making friendly chit chat (because to be honest, I wasn’t really expecting to actually attract anyone yet) someone actually showed some interest! I guess what they say is true, your profile can do a great deal of help or damage to you. Of course, that might still be complete and total BS but I am willing to chalk it up to that.

10 Months on Hormones, 5 Months Full-Time

I think it’s high time for some reflection on what it truly means to me, to be trans. Well, even though I have had a lot of ups and downs, a lot of highs and lows and I have won a lot of battles in my struggle to be me, I must admit that there are some problems in my life which are horribly difficult to contend with. I am now on my 10th month on hormones and my 5th month being full-time. With the exception of my voice, I have been told that I pass pretty well and I am certain that the more that I work on, the better things are going to get. So, let’s get this status report under way, eh? Continue reading ‘10 Months on Hormones, 5 Months Full-Time’

I Have a Bad Habit of Planning My Own Weddings

I have a horrible habit that I am trying to break - you listening? It’s something that really messes with my personal life and with the lives of the people that I know, trust and possibly even love. I mentally plan my own wedding on a regular basis. In and of itself, this is not a bad thing, if I actually had a partner to get married to and a wedding already scheduled. But the sad thing is that I have neither. So, why is it that I am in this habit of taking people that I meet and visualize myself spending the rest of my life with them and mentally debating whether or not to have the service at First Unitarian or First Universalist? And why is it that this is a problem for both me and the people that I care about? Continue reading ‘I Have a Bad Habit of Planning My Own Weddings’
