Hello, everyone, and happy new year!
This may sound a bit naive to some. I admit that in retrospect it sounds very naive to me. But there was a time in my life when I thought I might eventually "outgrow" the need to CD.
I don't remember exactly what my thinking was. It was a bit incoherent. But it was more or less along these lines: because of my upbringing and experiences in life, I was very conflicted, which led to low self-esteem, which led to me wanting to dress like a woman. I don't think that makes sense, but it seemed to at the time.
Anyway, I had the idea that as I got older and wiser, I'd gradually come to terms with all the turmoil inside me. I'd come to understand and deal with all the influences that had shaped me, and having attained the inner peace that age and maturity bring, my need to CD would fade along with all the old conflicts.
This hasn't happened, of course, and it doesn't look like it's ever going to. I know now that CDing is as much a part of me as my hands and feet. But did anyone else ever have a similar way of thinking about their CD habits?
Best wishes, Annabelle.
