Leaving the past behind, and emotional day

[Nigella]

This becomes more and more difficult with Social Media reminding you of comments you made on this day, x amount of years ago.

I have never hid my TS history, I have always been open and honest with those who ask the questions. What I don't, at least in RL, is advertise the fact that I am Trans. Facebook does all that for me :)

Today my FB page was full of reminders, it was 3 years ago that he died and she was born, the turmoil and emotions that Sandra went through, the support of those who travelled the journey with us, all reminded me of that day, but the one post that really said to me, "you have arrived" was this one
Nigella, I have loved this song for so many many years & I feel that today it is so appropriate as you begin this new chapter of your life, It is sent with all my love, on this very very special day :) Love you lots XXX

HaHa! About facebook. I too do not advertize, nor deny my status. Those who need to know, know. I'm sure some people figure it out, but who cares.
Happy rebirthday!

I do advertise from the educational and advocacy perspective.

Wow, a big day! Seems so long ago. Everything must feel more normalized now.

What a big day!!

I'm very open on Facebook more so than Twitter and frequently post articles that help to educate friends and family. I'm not starting a second page because that would be too much work.

In February, I turned off my memories so as to not see any photos posted on my feed. In June, I asked that people not post TBTs with me in them--my brother and dad already violated that request...and yes, it hurts.

My re-birthday being in SEP 1977. Way before any Internet/Facebook/any social media. Did work on DARPA net back in the 80s.

Everyone in my friends are either family or personal friends, so everyone knows my past. Don't hide anything nor advertise same.

Hard to find any old references of my past.

I had reminders yesterday on my facebook page as well. One thing that got me was where the time had gone, it was nice to see all who was there 3 years ago are still with us.

... Everything must feel more normalized now.

That is the main thing now Sue, when you leave your past behind you, let go and move on, things do become normal.

Thank you to those who responded
