Burning Ships
Once the words have left your lips there is no taking them back, I want to be a woman, I want to transition. Some might insist that it is I am a woman and I must transition.
In 1519, Capitan Hernando Cortes set fire to his fleet, or so they say, giving his army no way to escape, victory would be their only savior. It worked he defeated the Aztec Empire and Spain made South America hers.
There is no going back, our ships are burnt upon the shore and I wish for us all to dance in the sight of their flames.
Travelling into the big city tomorrow as April! As they say getting there is half the fun…
Now for some Elvis
Hugs,
April

Wow. I used the same analogy today for something else. I was trying to quote a line from a film (can't remember which one) which told the Cortes story.
ReplyDeleteI imagine there is more to this than telling yourself what you know in your heart, but please be careful. Some of the Conquistadors did not fare as well as Cortes. : )
Vaya Con Dios, April.
