What you're doing with this blog. How you can reach out to people when you need it, it's a real strength, and for me a reminder that I could do it to. All the ways you face your problems + demons, learn from experience and cry when you have to, express your fears + self doubts, your joys and what you've learned today. You might not be able to see it but I can see you growing as a person; and it makes you an inspiration. A lot of people find wise unflappable guru-types doling out pearls of wisdom inspiring; and I guess they can be; But that's so far from who I am inside it seems kind of unreal + not terribly applicable to my life. Snappy aphorisms + pat little systems found in self-help books don't really work for me. I get more hope and practical knowledge from seeing someone more like me evolving step by step toward not perfection---that's a crock---but a happier person, who is learning to recognize the inner voices of negativity + inferiority for what they are, and denying them of their power over her. Learning to be OK with herself. That's pretty awesome. And through all this you manage to care about others + be helpful + leave appreciative comments on people's stories; which makes you genuinely NICE! A rare thing in this world...

(Was that too much?)

Your short 'A Moment at The Mirror' was really nice :) As a transwoman it resonated strongly with me, and I'd love to see a full-fledged story in that vein on day. You're very good at writing ^.^

but i would prefer to just say the truth. you are an amazing woman, great author, supporter of friends, etc. pretty much just a great all around person, if a bit unkind to yourself *HUGS*
