Evolving
Life is full of ends and beginnings. I believe life is cyclical not linear. We go through many ends and beginnings sometimes to get to where we want to be. Today I went to the endocrinologist to get my testosterone adjusted and I was happy to hear that “I am as healthy as a male my age should be.” It took a long time to get here. To admit that I am transgender, that I am not a female. I am so proud of where I am, even if it’s not the end goal. We are a work in progress and we can always start fresh- that this the beauty of life. Each day is an opportunity to begin again, to be brave and admit the truth to ourselves, to grow, to inquire, to forgive, to mature, to love, to let go. My journey of self acceptance has brought me back to my early high school days of alternative rock and it is obvious by my doctor’s observance of me that I am becoming more confident with each day that passes. And that is worth celebrating- I am worth celebrating.
I will spend the evening at a local club watching others do karaoke, thrilled to be me. Maybe one day I will gather the courage for that to be me- maybe it’ll even be tonight. Who knows what the future brings? #MentalHealth #PostTraumaticStressDisorder #Bipolar1
