Pale citizens ventured forth blinking at the strange ball of light in the sky. Couples walking hand in hand, convertibles with their tops down, even a few motorcycles.
If it were an Elvis movie I would have burst into song.
Having survived a tough week I felt as if I had received a reprieve from the governor. Perhaps even a little giddy at leaving the depression behind.
Last night I got out with friends and I was able to realize how far I had come and how lucky I am. There is still a lot of anger in me ( I would think this is common with anyone born transsexual) that often threatens to boil over into self hate.
I am trying to appreciate and enjoy what I have now while striving for an even better future.
Here is a tune by the Dollyrots that sums up my rediscovered positive but oh so humble belief in myself:
Hugs,
April
