It's interesting living full-time. Before I transitioned, every outfit was special, because every time I dressed was special. Now, though, It's not so special. It's just getting dressed for the day. The challenge now is to find suitably every-day outfits, every day, while still presenting a convincingly feminine image. And sometimes, believe it or not, it's actually a bit of a chore!
So another humdrum, running-errands kind of outfit for another humdrum. running-errands kind of day.
But then, digging a little deeper...isn't that really the goal? To be so fully immersed in living as a woman that one doesn't even consciously think about living as a woman...one is just living?
soft.
first, i wanted to skip this topic because i don't wanted to shoot a selfie which shows me "soft". but after all i realized that it fits perfectly in the feelings i had over the last week.
i felt anxious and helpless and... just not like the 23 year old man i am. more like an insecure kid.
but after going through something like hell the past days, i understand that it was alright. sometimes, it's okay being "soft" and receive help from the ones you love.
thanks to tobias who made the light and thanks to Charlotte from ESPRIT CONFUS for the light inspiration.

Welcome to the new generation. This is Solveig, she is 8 yrs old and paints graffiti in Brighton. To read an interview with her see issue 45 of Graphotism. All the pieces are her own, painted without help. The two times i have met her it was freezing cold- but she stayed and finished her pieces- with no paint drips too. skills indeed.
