Accepting myself - becoming myself?

Usually I'm not the member here to write a blog about all that's moving me, but otherwise certain changes in my thinking and my emotions have made me think about, that there is certainly for most of us at a certain time a point, when we suddenly notice that we have changed yet more than we have thought.

I'm not out now to the public but live as often as I can as myself as woman and I'm now 14 months on hormones. I have to admit, that - in a certain view back how I started in June 2011 - I've come quite further on my way to become myself than I had thought. I'm acting more feminine with my way to walk and to move in common, I start crying when I see emotional moments in films and at any time I had found out for that I've accepted me as a woman.

It was this moment, when I had pierced my ears for wearing earrings and when I felt safe enough to wear "all-days/usual" female clothes. And its very important for me to "walk my way! with my natural hair as I just can be myself with the person I see in the mirror. And since some months I'm absoulutely happy to see Julia. the woman, when I see myself in the mirror ... In fact I'ce accepted me as the woman that I am, as Julia!

Did you have similar thoughts or emotions and can it really be that "acceptence" is the key to make an easier start? If yes, it was a great and wonderful start for me for my way!

Love & hugs to you!

Yours Julia
