Jade's Journey - Intro - Blog #1

  JADE'S JOURNEY - INTRO - Imagine growing up and living your life needing to be someone you are not. Imagine living in fear of letting others down and not being good enough for those you love. Imagine feeling like you are constantly living undercover all the time. Imagine taking high risk dangerous jobs and living risky personal lifestyles to prove you are cool and tough enough. Imagine the idea of being physically hurt or killed is less scary than sharing the truth. Imagine living this fake life so deep and so long that you forget who you are. Imagine the stress and anxieties that build up in time. Imagine how this would affect your health, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I am Jade, I am transgender, and this is my story of transitioning into a transgender female.

The Painful Reality of Transitioning - Blog #13

      Even though I know transitioning for me is saving my life, and will eventually be worth it, it is not easy by no stretch of the imagination.

 The Love I am Blessed With I often reflect upon myself, and wonder how and why I am the person I have become. I am not just referring about me being transgender, but the heart I carry deep inside. First, I need to give some credit to my upbringing.  I was Blessed to have a mother that loved life and others like no one I have ever known.  She taught me to not only look for the good in people, but also look at the good in situations.  Then as I grew older, I developed my love through my faith as a Christian, which ultimately lead to me becoming an ordained minister.  Basically, I learned to develop a level of love that seems to be hidden by most of the world. Not that I am any more special than others, but it pains me knowing that others do not see the beauty and love the world offers.  Now, as a transgender person, the only way I can maintain Happiness is to remember this level of love I learned to endure.  Unfortunately, the world cannot see how my wi...
