So, those who know me well enough generally know about how I've been bouncing around the question of my gender identity, thoughts and feelings on it all becoming stronger as time went on. I even sorta "settled" as being simply genderqueer for a while as I kept wrestling with my questions and thoughts. But now, moving into a new year, I think I can step out onto a new path and open up a new chapter in my life..

Yes, I'm beginning to take the exploratory steps into making a transition of myself into a female. It's something that I'm honestly a little nervous about getting out into the open, but it's also something that I feel is the right direction to go for me. It's going to be a long and difficult journey, but I'm glad to even be starting out on it, having the support of a few loved ones so far, to which I am so very grateful for. (So far, no actual family yet... That's a delicate bomb I need to take care of at a MUCH later date...)

For the moment, however, I'm limited with what I can do to progress too much further yet, still kinda being stuck at home with a job that only pays so well.. I'm hoping to at least get myself into a cheap apartment somewhere, and maybe eventually find a better job, so I can start putting money aside for the things I need to have done for myself as I slowly walk down the path.

I know not a lot of people read journals, let alone what I have to say with how little I post things in general, but I appreciate anybody who takes the time with this and I thank you. Here's hoping for a good 2014, and that my journey goes well.

Happy New Year, everybody~
