Well, I thought it was about time that I wrote a post. As I haven't been around much recently, I asked if I could have a go!!

You see, it's been hard, kept in the background for so long - about 22 years to be exact. I really would like to get out of the shadows more and be able to go out more and experience what life has to offer. With all of the issues starting to be ironed out, a light can be seen at the end of the tunnel. I think the idea is to go out more and be able to express myself freely - not to be afraid anymore.

It has been nice to be around this weekend. Although I haven't been out, just seeing the sunshine has helped. Makes me want to go out to a nice pub garden for a drink with friends. At least I have a cocktail evening to look forward to and a Film Noir 30th birthday party to look forward to later in the year. More outfits to buy!

Hopefully, this won't be the one and only post from me - I hope that I will be able to express myself more often and let you guys know how I am and what I'm up to.

Love and kisses xxxx

As it as been a few weeks since my last post, I thought I had better update the loyal band of followers as to my current well being.
Well, really, I have just been bumbling along. Working, been out a few times, housework - the usual monotonous but essential stuff. Had a bit of a blip at work, when they wanted me to train the person bought in above my head to do their job. So, I am not good enough to do the job, but I am good enough to train them. Funnily enough, I said no. I did not think it was appropriate to put me in that situation, considering this is the second time in six months it has happened to me. 

On the plus side, It looks like I will be moving back near my friends soon. Things are moving forward nicely, so I should hopefully have a better update in a few weeks time. Fingers crossed!

I had my second counselling session this week. We concentrated on employment this session. In a nutshell, the outcome was to get a new job. I think it is the best way to go, but my employer is very good in lots of ways. I have been given some 'homework'. I have to do a plan of where I want to be work wise in two years time. I cannot see me moving up in my company anytime in the next two years, so my future lies elsewhere, methinks!

With regard to my gender conundrum and given the upturn in my mental health, at the moment, the status quo is the current preferred option, albeit with an increased presence of my alter ego. I need to express my inner self more and I am finally gaining the strength to do so. I have a feminine side which I want to unleash more and more and I really believe that by letting this out that I will be a happier and better person in the future. 

A new outfit and wig for this weekend. A St Patricks Day party to go to - first time out this year! Really looking forward to it. I think I am going to be a bit overdressed, but you only live once and I have to enjoy and grasp every opportunity I can to show my true self. It will only be a small gathering, but it is people I know well, so I will feel a lot more comfortable.
