Several weeks ago, I took three boxes and five bags of Alice things to a charity store, because i do not wear most of the things, and am trying to get rid of most stuff in my apartment, and simplify life, and have less. Not easy in America, where most have way to much stuff of all kinds. i have only two dresses now, one pair of heels, one wig, no purses, and several pairs of P.H.m Several pairs of panties, and 2 girdles. Dressing up had take n too much control of my life, and i had become even more an isolated loner. I went out in public a few months ago, for several hours, and decided i have done enough with the dressing as Alice. I may have a hip replaced soon, and having memory loss pretty bad. I think that very tough times are ahead, too. Personal issues, too with my male side conflicting with crossdressing. I speak only for me , and my personal situation. I feel that my male side will be much more needed and necessary, in the very difficult times, and disasters ahead with weather, and other harsh things. Just me sharing my world some. I have seen the natural love and respect in the USA between men and women vanishing fast, and i have been rejected so much , and had my heart busted so often, that i see little hope of ever experiencing a good relationship or marriage with a GG. A very jaded time, where love is vanishing.
