Upswing

crosspost with JTA

---------

I've changed a lot these last six months--mostly physically, but I've  also grown emotionally and mentally. I feel like more of myself. The Self that's been aching to get out for the last however-many-years. It's been really Healing to see who I am readily reflected in my thoughts, actions, and appearance.  ♥

With all of this self-actualisation going on, I haven't really had time to give a lot of energy to those people who aren't on this journey with me.  Last night, though, I had some close encounters and Real reminders of people who are so wrapped up in their own transphobia and bigotry, that all they can do is hate.

This makes me sad

AND

I also know that I don't need to be around folks like that anyway.

And I also recognise that I  have friends and family who haven't left my side.  And new folks to meet as I move forward. I'm on an upswing and I only want people around me who are willing to rise with me. :3
