to grow or not to grow

[Kelly]

Thank you Nicole! One thing I envy...all you girls who had awareness early on, and were able to consciously develop a fem side in teens or twenties. For me it never made it to a stage of "hey I want to cultivate this side of me let's think of ways I can do so" until just two or three years ago, in my 50s. Before this, I always felt guilty, strange, shamed....and any time I succumbed to the impulse to dress as a girl I would get it over with and then try to counsel myself on how to get my life right.

(impressive brainwash job, culture I grew up in, impressive!)

And you said enlightening..(smiling)...well I love how we can all support each other here and encourage one another...it's amazing and fulfilling if I manage to do that for anyone else!
