I have not posted anything in quiet some time for personal reasons but this story is worth sharing:
Last Friday was my Birthday, I am the worst person to be around during a birthday and here is why; I hate to celebrate a day in which I was born in the wrong body, I know it sounds very cliché but I cant help felling this way. Birthdays man! It just gets me down. My wife puts up with a lot, she is always super supportive and finds beauty in everything no matter how bad it seems. Here is the good part to the story: She hugged me towards the end of the day and asked me to share, as hard as it was I admitted to her how I felt about birthdays and she said the one thing that makes my life worth living.
My beautiful wife said: You were meant to be who you are to educate and illuminate the people you know, you have change their lives. You have change the mind of people that otherwise would have never known anyone like you, the fact that they know the kind of person you are and the life you live helps them understand and accept this lifestyle. If you would have been a girl your life might have not had as much impact in people. "You have change me, you have made me a better person by teaching me about this lifestyle, so I want to thank you." Best birthday present ever!
To those people struggling with who they are and with their families I want to remind you, "It gets better" it has been said before, it does get better, give it time, be patient and life sorts itself out. Stay grounded, do not let the pink fog take over, find a friend or relative and open up, you will be amazed on how open and accepting people are. Use this forum as a tool to help you figure things out, there are a lot of supportive members with great advice and experience super ready to help others.
The best of luck to you all and to the people that continue to provide a wonderful place to be ourselves Thank You!
