In some ways I think the irony of your experience is that it is a very typical female thing to feel guilt, and to apologise for being who you are. Women apologise for being strong and for not being. They feel somehow it is wrong to be very feminine in these times and yet women who are loud, brash and boisterous sometimes feel they must apologise for that too. I am a lifelong self-explainer. I have spent most of my life believing that whoever I am is somehow wrong or not good enough and I have tried to squash much of my feminine side in order to be 'strong'. The real me is more pink and flowery than I usually let on-lol. I am honoured to be getting to know you and read about your experiences. I admire you and learn from you. xoxoShawna McComberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11296162660865309624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-4906265685214884262015-12-17T19:01:49.341-05:002015-12-17T19:01:49.341-05:00Thanks!

I can't imagine that it ever was an easy journey for you, but to know that each day gets a bit better... well, that's just the icing on the cake.
