What a wonderful moment

Last week I went clothes shopping in Staines. I had a wonderful time looking for some new tops and cardigans, however I happened to stumble upon a lovely floral dress and just had to try it on. I went to the changing rooms and started to undress; standing in front of the mirror I slid my arms in to the sleeves and raised it over my head, the dress fell down over me and fitted me perfectly, it just felt like a second skin and looked amazing. Then a most profound thing happened… I stood there looking at myself in the mirror, for the first time in my life I saw a woman starring back at me, not a woman trapped in a mans body trying to make the best of things, but a completely natural woman. I stood there starring at myself for ages, just absorbing the image in front of me and enjoying the exquisite happiness that I felt inside; I didn’t cry, it wasn’t an emotional moment, it was just a moment of complete calm and contentment. I realised that this is how I wanted to feel for the rest of my life and that I was really starting to make progress on my journey, Oh and yes I did buy the dress.
