At my last counselling session, with the magnificent soul who has provided so much support to me on this journey, we talked about how I’m still very hard on myself, and the fact I really don’t think I’ve made enough progress. Nor, has what little progress I have made, been fast enough. As the session drew to a close I was encouraged to take a look back, so I can actually see how far I have come.
Photographs of me are not easy to come by, there are one or two snaps I can refer to, however what I do have is a fairly extensive journal. A detailed diary that I regularly updated long before I published this blog. It is full of insights into my hopes, worries and fears about my Transition…
Mindful of the advice from my counsellor, I’ve just spent an interesting hour reading some of the entires around the time my first tiny steps towards transition were taken. I think it makes sense to add them to this journal because they are all part of the journey…
So, all though they will be new posts on the blog, they are old entries in my diary, and if I can remember how to, I will set the date and time on the Blog Post to the same date and time as the entry was first written….
p.s. If anyone is wondering what relevance the header photograph has to my Blog, it’s a shot I took more than a decade ago with a very early smart phone. The subject is an immense sculpture installation in Washington DC. Its called “Awakenings” and I think it’s perfect..
