I am currently doing just that. As I love to cross dress up as I'd love to be a woman

What a beautiful piece of writing and reclamation of your creative expression. I love this—“i’m now in the light, i create in light. and the light has led me home.”

This is such a beautiful ode to your Becoming! I deeply resonate with this piece - I have felt taken off track by life time and time again - I feel reverence for the practice of coming back Home. I feel reverence in your writing as well. I appreciate your vulnerability 💜

Whew, what a testimony.

You didn’t just leave — you returned to yourself.

The world will try to make you forget your heart, but thank God for the light that keeps calling us home. Keep creating from that place. It’s holy.

It is admirable to read your story of you deciding to follow your heart. Through the ups and downs in this life, I too have slowly been learning to follow what my heart beings to yearn. Your post here resonated with me deeply; it is beautifully written. I wish you continued success on your journey!
