I can't believe I've been around on this forum since 2013 , somehow after almost 8,000 posts I've been something to everyone . From the start I was probably more of a pain in the butt , some probably still think I am . I was looking through my own archives especially the pictures , from just daring to apply an avatar to making excuses for not showing my face . Over the time I've been called HOT, SEXY , I've rocked it for some of you now after posting my latest picture in my new wig I've moved into a comfort zone , I feel more like an agony aunt at times but please don't start calling me Aunty Teresa or heaven forbid Mother Teresa !! My bottom drawer still has some hot stuff and I can still ROCK it if I want to , that brings to mind the thread about noticing the dress or the girl , well if you wear something HOT then you notice the dress so the girl must be hot too !
I've seen the cycle of repeat threads and the passing of some wonderful members who I'm glad to call friends even if it was distant ones , I still have some good friends here now , we mostly have to resort to PMs but it would be lovely to catch up with some of you in person , at least the forum has given me the chance to meet up with some in the UK . For those who haven't taken that step yet it's a great way to step out the door and come out , I have no regrets about that , I'm still learning, Ok to some it may be sad it's cost me my marriage but I'm happier now out of it than I was in it because I've found the true me .
I still can't say where I go from here I know I still have the mix of help , support and some who just like to give me a kick up the butt , I can balance that with the friends I've met in my social groups , I know the bottom line is the final decision is mine but I know I'm not alone , God forbid those days have gone when it felt like solitary confinement . The World is changing for us all , I intend to do my bit now and get out to make it easier for those following on , I know like most of you how hard those times are .
Some of the newer members reading this should never say I could never do even what Teresa has done , I still think this when I look at others further on but the point is NEVER SAY NEVER ! Seriously if I can do it you surely can, believe in yourself and stick with your gut instinct and sometimes be prepared to fight your corner with those around you , you also have rights in this World , it's not a criminal act we are performing . It's something some might call a blessing and to others a curse but there's nothing we can do about it we are wired that way, we need all the help we can get to understand it and come to terms with it .
Thankyou again to the Forum and some great members on it .
