I was talking to a friend at work, and mentioned my age, and then it hit me. I might have lived 45 years on this planet, but in some ways, I'm actually only about two. It was about two years ago that I went to my rape therapy dressed, which has led me to starting a transition. It would explain why everything feels so fresh, so new to me.
Maybe someday, I'll take things like having my hair long or developing boobs, or being accepted as a woman for granted, but it hasnt happened yet, and I kinda hope it never does.

I have actually seen 45 year olds dressed as Babies back when I went to the Southern Comfort Conference in 2010.

It is a long road ahead but I will finally become who I should be.
Surprises around every corner...
I have some friends who are double my age, and whenever I get kinda poopy about growing older, and I'm only in my 20s, they always remind me that it just gets better and better, and that you may not understand the why's and wherefore's of now, but it really does all eventually make sense.
I like the philosophy is of a carpe diem/ seize the day take on life. Its not a hedonistic take on this way of thinking, but more a matter of living your life to its fullest.
Live everyday as if it were your last, and enjoy it as if it were your first!

Well....
I read that a child forced to live in the wrong gender has part of er character/personality maturation go "on hold" as e becomes a teen. On starting to transition, e starts maturing again. In some sense, a nominal adult will then have some behavior and emotions of a 13 YO.
I felt like that; I might have been acting/feeling that way because I had read of this delayed maturation syndrome. OTOH, I felt like what I was doing was a good thing to do, even tho some of it was definitely juvenile/immature.
Hugs and Bright Blessings,

I take it for granted
that I have long(ish) hair, boobs and acceptance as a woman - but then I've been doing it for a long time. It means that I'm happy with myself and so is most of the world in which I move.
