Jade's Transgender Journey

  My journey as Jade has been so interesting. I "never" thought I would receive the support that I have. Honestly, I expected to be hated by most with few friends and needing to live on a deserted island. Not only have I discovered that many people care and love me for me, some have reached out to me. Some are going through a similar journey, while some can relate or want to understand more. Is it possible? We all are born different, some of us require medical intervention at birth, while some of us it is needed as we get older. Regardless our diversity, we all are created different, but yet, still made in our God's Image. I believe embracing these differences shows God's Glory, and ultimately why He sent His one and only Earthly born Son. It's our differences that makes us special, which is why He created us as such. I walk in faith as a Child of God. :) John 3:16-19, " For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever belie...

 The Haunting Past JUST SHARING: When I knew I needed to see neuropsychologist because of my complex and rare type of seizures, I started to do my home work. One of the assignments is to write a log.

I have not looked at that in 3 years, the same time I discovered that I was transgender. I'm afraid to write the rest to date... Jade

 If you only could live as the real you, not for other people. If you only could look in the mirror, and like what you see? If you only could live with less anxiety, with more happiness? If you only could love who you are as a person, instead of looking down on yourself? If you only could know who really loves you for who you are, instead of their ideas of you? If you only could know who your real friends are, instead of possible hidden agendas? These use to be the questions I would ask myself, If only... Now, I live as my authentic self Now, I look in the mirror and smile at who I see Now, as I transition, my anxiety is lowering, and I am discovering personal happiness. Now, I know who really loves me. Now, I know who my real friends and family are. If you only could do the same, would you? Hugs,  Jayde
