once<\/a> have I ever done anything of significance associated with my transition …<\/p>\nWhere I was scared to death …<\/p>\n
And I didn’t have to do it alone.<\/p>\n
Making the first counseling appointment,<\/p>\n
Attending the first support group meeting,<\/p>\n
Seeing the first doctor,<\/p>\n
Presenting in public for the first time,<\/p>\n
Every single Disclosure,<\/p>\n
Every single phone call to someone,<\/p>\n
Going into the operating room for the first time,<\/p>\n
Second time,<\/p>\n
Third time,<\/p>\n
Fourth time.<\/p>\n
Meeting friends for the first time.<\/p>\n
Meeting family members for the first time.<\/p>\n
Walking into new settings,<\/p>\n
Surprising acquiantances for the first time,<\/p>\n
Blah … blah … blah.<\/i><\/p>\n
Soon …<\/p>\n
I’ve got to walk into a roomful of people …<\/p>\n
Where my function will come as a surprise to many.<\/p>\n
Who knows the reactions that will result.<\/p>\n
All I know is that …<\/p>\n
I’m going to have to do something that’s scaring the krap out of me …<\/p>\n
Where I have no experience in handling it …<\/p>\n
And once again,<\/p>\n
It’s just going to be me …<\/p>\n
With no one watching my back.<\/p>\n
Ugh.<\/p>\n
Oh well … *shrug*<\/p>\n
Gotta do what ya gotta do !!<\/p>\n
I’m actually getting pretty used to being scared to death !! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
