"You Can Do It!"

  think you'll never look feminine?

Lots of new gals get slightly depressed when they begin their feminine journey. Why? Some feel they got to the party too late. They believe they're too old to start pursuing this interest. Others look at photos of some knock-out-tranny and silently mutter - I could never look anything like her.

When I first began dressing? My appearance would've frightened small children and most adults. Fortunately, I didn't put anybody through that misery...although my poor dog got plenty nervous witnessing some of the results. *Grin* 

I regret having thrown away my earliest photo's, but trust me - I looked hideous! The pretty woman inside couldn't seem to find her way into the image staring back from my mirror.

 The photos you see here? They're not my worst. Rather, they were taken as a celebration for my having lost 15 pounds. Can you imagine what I looked liked with another couple of chins? *Laugh* 

 At only 5'9, I tipped the scales at well over 200 pounds. My once athletic thighs turned flabby from years of shuffling paper. When it came to applying make-up? I didn't even know what foundation & blush were - let alone how to use them. The only thing I knew for certain was that I had a burning desire to express a feminine side of my persona. 

Renee's adventure began slowly with the acquisition of select silky coverings from Victoria's Secret and other appealing lingerie. Before too long, a wig was added to her arsenal. As time passed, additional accessories kept finding their way into her secret stash. 

I'd don these dainty items every month or so while relishing their softness. I'd usually become sexually excited by this process. However, the further I went? It wasn't about ravishment or getting excited over anything: I just felt much happier & joyful.

One of my best-worst memories is the first time I shaved the forest from my chest and midriff. What a mess that was! *Laugh* I ended up having to use a powerful drain cleaner just to unclog the pipes. 

Guess what else happened? The drain cleaning mixture devoured my PVC water pipes...resulting in a very expensive visit from a plumber. To add insult to injury? My chest broke out in a rash and itched for days. 

That...was a very blonde moment.

don't be "blonde"

If you had a chance to start your life over as a child...knowing everything you now know as an adult - would you do things differently? If you're like most of us, you'd probably focus on enjoying the process known as growing up a bit more, wouldn't you? 

Guess what? You're about to get that chance.  

You're starting on a wonderful journey in search of balance & contentment with all of you. There's a myriad of pleasurable and divine sites along this unique road. I'd suggest you take the time to relish each phase of your development & not try to hurry this process. 

Let me clue you in on a very important secret to transgender happiness. No matter how hard you try and no matter how much you learn...you'll always find another t-girl prettier than yourself. 

Know what else?

Who cares?

This is for your satisfaction - not somebody else's. If you define yourself by others? You'll never be happy.

I can promise you this: beauty - comes from the inside not the exterior surface. Beauty is not something you put-on...it's something you bring out. Many sisters get so caught up in trying to improve their appearance that they fail to enjoy the pleasure of becoming beautiful. 

This is perhaps your first chance in life to begin your youth anew. Enjoy this second childhood while it lasts. Make it a fun and healthy one - and you'll become a balanced and happy adult t-girl in the years ahead. Try to hurry it, and you'll eventually have to deal with your gender-infancy issues again later...when things can be a lot more complicated. 

Sound familiar?

It should. 

Listen to your own advice...and have some fun, girlfriend!

Smiling often - is all that life is really all about.
