What's up everyone, it has been more than a year! A lot has changed in my life and I am glad to say that I enjoy it far more now than I did only a year ago. Self discovery is such a difficult thing. It really makes me realize what other people mean when they talk about "eureka" moments. Self discovery has such an intangible and indescribable quality and there is really nothing like it. I wish you too can come to recognize the undercurrent in your life. All of the little patterns that come into clear focus once there is a word to act as its locus. Be kind to yourself. Be patient. As long as you are breathing there is another day. I am reminded of the song "Good To Be Alive" by They Might Be Giants in which the protagonist first awakes in a hospital and checks in with each of their senses. /Hello mind, it's good to be awake again/ /Spend some time reflecting/ ... /I'm not a mega-church sized preacher/ /but on this I have arrived/ /It's good to be alive./ All this to say that I have found peace I have found what it is that has been bothering be all my life, and that is I am transgender. I still have this username on here and I can't help that very much. I don't want to pay another buck to get a new account, but it may be worth it. There are female Codys. Thank you for reading my phlog. I just wanted to tell the world that a wrong has been righted, and I hope that you too can find this respite.
