Man In The Mirror

I finally woke up to myself as I stared at myself in the mirror after yet another year of everything going wrong.

I’d let people down, I’d ruined my relationship, I’d lost my job, all because I wasn’t willing to admit to myself that the person in the mirror needed to change. For too long I’d seen a man in the mirror I didn’t recognize, and one that I didn’t, couldn’t live up to. Not without changing my outlook.

I saw my doctor the following day, and within a few months I had begun preparing for the gender reassignment surgery.
