Self love

[Brandie.n]

It was a nice fall day the sun was out the weather was cool and crisp. I decided to do an outdoor photo shoot I picked out my outfit, Nine west booties in black, Pantyhose, skirt in black, Nails, and my favorite goth sheer red top. I went into the back yard and started taking the photos. I sat up a table and chair at the corner of my yard near the woods and set up the camera. I pose and go to hit my remote for the camera then I just didn't, I stopped. A sense of calm and Peace washed over me I felt relaxed and a sense of I am where I am suppose to be. I am doing what I was meant to do. I just sat there relaxed for and hour listening the the sounds of nature feeling the cool breeze on my nylon clad legs. I was thinking how everyone know I dress and still loves, accepts and supports me. For the first time in a long time I had inner peace for the first time I love and accept me both of me. After the past years I had I can honestly say it feels like I'm out of the woods. I finally found inner peace and self love.

Great pics! You look so happy and relaxed in your cute outfits. I might have to give Face App another try.

I?m so happy for you to be able to sit there for that long and be relaxed. What a great feeling of self discovery. And I wish I had your shoes. I don?t own any feminine shoes yet and yours are so cute.

You?re so put together. Beautiful

Brandi,

I love the story and as I was reading it, I felt a connection to what you were describing .... up until the very last last sentence.

It is great to hear that everybody loves and accepts you, but if you are still wearing a beard, then everybody love and accept you as a man ... wearing female clothing.
I mean, don't get me wrong, great for you if what you long for is people to accept you as a man wearing some female clothes, but otherwise not wanting to present as a female, but if it anything more femine than that, then you have a ways to go.

Nice pictures - glad you have found peace

Its amazing how finding that inner peace can totally elevate ones mindset. Your post is very uplifting and I couldnt ask for a better way to start my morning. Thank you!

It's wonderful when those moments occur. A few years ago I was out and about and just leaving the cinema. As I left the building and walked across the car park everything suddenly felt right. I was relaxed in how I felt. Any tension in my body left me, totally comfortable in being me. I can remember it to this day. A big step along my journey.

Now, can I suggest you go the whole nine yards and post unadulterated pictures? I can understand if you'd rather not reveal your male identity but if you are truly comfortable in your skin when dressed then, and I don't mean this in any malicious or mean way, show that person, beard and all. You're among friends so show your true self, the one everyone else knows.

You look great on both photos. I love them! I am sharing with you this wonderful pleasure and feeling of self-accomplishment when being a woman. The contact with nature makes this feeling even deeper, to be a part of it as a female.

It is a major step to reach that point. It has happened to me a few times, but it never remains for an extended period of time. I agree to a large extent with Suzie Peterson - it is a major accomplishment to be that comfortable with yourself, but ... On the other hand, when you accept yourself and your identities so completely you are comfortable with yourself, in spite of all the warts and imperfections, then you have reached Nirvana. Not many ever make it there, but not making it is not really a problem as Nirvana (and similar states of being) are ideals and not necessarily actual states of perfection. To me the main message is that you are in the vicinity of that ultimate state of being where you know yourself completely and you are happy with what you have learned and not only the who you are but the what you are. Congratulations on your wonderful experience.

I have such a difficult time with straps and buckles on heels. I bet having 2 sets would just about make my stop dressing.
Last time I asked my wife to buckle them for me. And zip me up.

That was fun.

[nalasirder]

Such wonderful pics. Great smile!

[docrobbysherry]

Perfect, Brandie!:thumbsup:
