What I saw in my mirror

So, normally I somehow manage to totally miss milestone moments of opportunity, but today I managed to get one without even knowing it at that moment.

I'm not really sure what possessed me to try on some lingerie that I have this morning, but I decided to do so anyways. It usually sits in a drawer as I haven't had a reason to take it out, or so I thought. Yet, I found myself really wanting to try now that the rather scanty undies that come with would actually fit properly, so I dug it out.

Dayum. I needed to see me in that today. I didn't imagine that it would matter so much, you know? It's just lingerie, right? It mattered. I looked good and I felt good. I felt, well, desirable.

It's the 6 month anniversary of my GCS today. I hadn't even really thought about it, but it's a milestone and, for whatever reason, it was the day I chose to do this and I felt desirable.

I needed to know that.

It's very hard

It's a lot to take in, you know? I don't even live in the United States, but I know what happens there soon happens here.

Back to school season

In Canada, back to school starts after Labour Day, the first Monday in September. In past years I don't know that I would have given it much thought, but this year it's a little different.

It never occured to me

 I'm a year and two thirds post-GCS and I have been battling vulvodynia for a while. It's been worse in the few days after dilation and then usually starts to ease up. What was causing it, it seems, is what surprised me.
