Halloween is a time for regrets for me. I mean, the one time in a year when I could have gotten away with presenting as a girl, and I never dared. I was too much a coward. That's pretty much the story of my life, really. never brave enough.

Plenty Brave

All that you've been through in your life and you're still here with us and pushing through it every day. I think you're plenty brave where it counts.

*big hugs*

Many of us longed for but dared not venture out

Halloween was a dream that teased and promised what we could not have. You are absolutely one of the bravest women I will ever know!

Happy pre-all_hallows eve though

Much the same in my case though, I knew how to manipulate my sister, into making her angry to think she was manipulating me into forcebelly getting dressed up... yup I allowed her to think it was all her idea, but it was all good... well not all she had horrid taste in general (her pics anyways, mum usually choose for her & I)
Mind you my recollection is anything but perfect; being younger availability got harder, because her things were eventually far to small for me, so I had to downgrade to mum's lol. I did however hate, not being able to 'girl up' on Halloween too. Did you ever, dressup though, if so what as?

The costumes in our home I remmeber, were mostly always homemade
Zorro, grim reaper; blue, black & pink ninja power rangers, jasmin & alladin, princess, sheet-ghost (yup blanket with eyes cut out.... real original... not) there was an old gorilla mask, that I refused to wear let alone be near it gave me the willies, cowboy in black hat.
I do recall my sister having my nephew dress up as.... woody from toystory & chucky from that horror flick serial

Dress up for All-Hollows-Eve

In my family the costumes were all homemade. I was a pirate, a gypsy, a ghost (the closest I ever got to wearing a girl costume, it involved a white hoodie and on of my sisters plain cotton slips over some white pants), a mummy, a vampire, a and robot made of cardboard boxes painted silver. One year, I got brave enough to talk to my sister about wearing her cheerleader uniform. She'd have been willing if I could have come up with a wig. Since this was in the 50s and there wasn't the profusion of "Halloween Stores" we have today, I couldn't so there when that idea.

Happiness is being all dressed up and HAVING some place to go.
