I am as lucid and happy as I have ever been after going through some
very challenging times, I have come out on the other side far stronger
than I ever imagined was possible and wish the very same for the rest of
you.
It wasn't always like that.
In July, 2012, Joanna began her blog with a post, simply titled Day One. In that post, she wrote:
Life
will get better again. I know that from experience but I hate feel stuck
in the middle like this. I am a man but I am not normal. I am a man who
dresses up as a woman and I feel its advancing. Some days I wish it
would just go away and let me be. But I know it won't.
She had just broken up with her significant other, and turned to the world of blogging as a way to heal.
She did, and now she's written her Last Word.
I'm going to miss Joanna's writing. Coming from a scientific background, she has been on a quest to better understand why she is the way she is. She has written many interesting posts. I have certainly benefited from Joanna's writing. Take some time, if you haven't already, and browse through her writings. By sharing her thoughts, Joanna may help you to learn a bit more about yourself.
