I moved back to seattle a couple months ago from the east coast, and now after having a long relationship with someone, we've decided that's it's bets for us to just be friends. That said, I am now single. I'm not looking for any relationship right now, but am looking for more trans friends, and gg's especially! No men, thanks. I'm also continuing my transition and am so excited for what the future holds!

Ma Vie En Rose

I've always known that i was different. Even when i was small i knew I was not like the other children. I tried and tried to fit in, but it was very difficult at times. I felt ashamed and did not feel like I could express myself in the way that felt natural for me. I think I first knew that I was different at about the age of 6 or 7. I grew up in a conservative family full of very masculine boys, and this did not help matters. My expression of femininity was very private at that time. I had mostly girls for friends, as I do now. Around them I felt safe. When I was younger I buried part of myself, hoping it would pass, or go away. This is not the case, nor is it healthy for anyone. And of course part of myself could not go away. Sometimes I feel that my youth was lost. I wish that I had come to this point I am at now, years ago. I did have many good experiences, but also many many difficult ones. Most of which remained buried inside me.Often i wish that i was not born in the body that I came into this life in. More often though I am glad to have the body I have already. Special and unique. I go back and forth with that, and only time will tell what will happen in the future. I do not know. I only know that I must be happy, fullfilled and be truly myself. I try to surround myself with good friends that appreciate me for just being me. If you have gotten to be my friend, you know that I hold you in very high regard and appreciate your friendship immensely. *hugs* -Andie
