Life .
It has an awful surprise of turning everything on it's head , causing even the most stable of us to question our direction and reality sometimes .Due to the fact I've stated in the picture thread that it may be my last for sometime, it has lead me to think on in a deeper context .
I think we all have moments of reflection , contemplation in our existence but we continue to live our lives in our own way , then POW ! Summat comes along to really knock us side ways putting everything into a strange perspective , testing our character fully . It's a real awakening moment . It certainly makes you contemplate even further . Reality bites .
As a crossdresser , I certainly believe most of us are more questioning , more "switched on " perhaps , inquiring and considerate in a more positive manner than other males - very questioning and concious of our own lifestyles and behaviour . BUT , it's an awful reality when things seriously go wrong , making everything in life a horrible comparrison . I've recently been through a serious traumatic fatal event , I'm not looking for attention , I just wanted to relay that when things proceed in a terrible manner it REALLY leaves us questioning ourselves . Well it has me . I love being Shelly , but when reality knocks on your door , it puts things into a perspective I wasn't prepared for . I feel very guilty being a crossdresser . FAR greater now - more than ever before . Post Traumatic Stress Disorder councelling has helped me look back on my life ,the situation , regain clarity ,move on , but it's also left me with a feeling that my crossdressing is almost ridiculous . Pretentious , attention seeking . vainity to a level thats almost pathetic . I'm sorry for MY opinion , but it's honesty from the heart ........... and believe me this isn't a " drama queen " moment .
If life isn't hard enough .
I'm sure on reflection of everything , my female side of my persona will return one day, hopefully minus this terrible guilt feeling . I thought I was on top of my fem self , accepting myself as a person colourful in character in control .
Now I just feel lost .
So , I'll just ask , has anyone else been in this position ? Did youre character return , or was the female part of you thats been held in such delicate regard been banished to the back of the cupboard once and for all ......... ?
Life - be preapred , you never know whats coming .
