Oh to be young! Take it slow young lady. I know it can get discouraging at times. I knew I was female since age 12, actually before then, but I didn't realize my body was going to stay male shaped until then. Back then, without information and support, I just gave in and decided that living as a man was the only option. And I've been darned good at it too! But I am slowly figuring out how to be me. I'm even in the process of writing a book that I pray will help my church (and perhaps all churches) to understand the complex reality of TSism. Like you said, Rome wasn't built in a day.

When I was young, I was impatient to grow up. And because of that I did some of my growing up way too fast for conditions, and I have left debris in my wake. You have a great advantage. Information, support, and no pretending-to-be-male baggage and responsibilities. Take your time to grow up. Try to see the good in everything and always be thankful.

Hope the weather gets better on your island. Hope your grandma gets better soon. You will be home before you know it. Be careful with who you confide in. Telling your story can be so liberating for you, but it can be a source of pain and struggle for the hearer. Perhaps you can start with your trusted friend who is a girl, that you talked about in one of your blogs, and go from there.

Keep talking to us here. Go well, young lady.

Thanks Nicole :) What you have written there i will trully take in mind. I do have a friend who is a girl and she is a person who will accept and talk with me about it but I prefer to keep this quiet till i am about to enter Univ..... I will really do my best though to enjoy being masculine because I really feel in my mind, or emotionally like a female. Thanks again!!!! =]
