Today is the third anniversary of becoming this person. This different self. You don’t grow up thinking that your personal identity can be taken from you, but it can. If you’re lucky, you have something left that has been rearranged into something, someone else. Some of the changes are quite dramatic. I went from being a known Christian theologian to an avowed Heathen who honors the Old Ones of my ancestors.
What? You posted stories here how are you a theologian? Simple, in my travels I’ve never met anyone saint or sinner who wasn’t a freak on some level. Sexual feelings are a valid part of being human and it’s only when you attempt to suppress or go hog wild with them that an issue is created. That includes the deep dark ones as well. You know the ones you won’t even tell your spouse about because you be twisted. You still have to accept that you have them and then process them responsibly so you don’t mess up your life or the lives of the ones you love.
It’s the same with other emotions. If you are enraged are you going to rant, rave, and cuss. Maybe take a broom handle and beat the shit out of your mattress(I enjoy that one.) or will you lock and load and take care of your business? The choice and the consequences are all yours. So you need to know and understand yourself or you can get into serious trouble.
Enough of that, My last couple weeks have been hard. I became a poster child of forgetfulness as well as being lackadaisical about my responsibilities. I was also having to use my cane because my balance was shit. I also had a severe case of stupid. Have you ever opened a car door and then couldn’t remember how to sit in the seat? You won’t like it. Round it off with severe Aphasia and there is my last few weeks.
