They can't break me, as long as I know who I am

So it's been quite some time since I've written a blog. Life just kinda gets busy sometimes, ya know. Not that it's necessarily a bad thing. The past few months have been pretty amazing. I might write about that at some point, but that's not really the point of this new blog. See, the last time I wrote it was focused more on the daily grind of transitioning. It was more of a step by step account of my life - "Today I went here, and did this, and met this person, and we did these things together, etc...". It was fun. I had some great experiences and I'm really glad I got to write about them and share them with others. But now things are settling down, at least mentally. I'm no longer have gender on the brain 24/7 like I used to. And it's a nice change - getting back to some semblance of normalcy. Sure the gender stuff is there, and always will be. It's just no longer the dominant thought in my head. Now I think a lot about work stuff and friends and networking. Paying the rent, what I'm going to do tomorrow, what I need to get to decorate my room. Helping people who are going through rough times. How much I need to upgrade my computer. Finding a new house to rent with my awesome roommate. Body piercing. Coffee and cake. Relationships and dating. What I want to do with my life. Love.

I could go on, but you get the general idea. Anyway, I'm beginning to ramble, but the point is that my last blog was very personal in the way it disclosed actual details of my life. This blog isn't really going to have the same feel to it. It'll mostly be just completely random thoughts that pop into my head at any given time. Most of them will prolly be related to being trasgender on some level, but not all. But they will definitly be even more intimate on a different level. I'll be sharing my deepest thoughts, working through and creating my personal philosophies. And the reason it's going to be so personal is because this blog isn't created to benefit you, the reader. It's for me.

See, one of the things I learned the last time around was that writing is an incredibly therapeutic process for me. There's just something about taking an intangible idea and putting it into tangible words that other human beings can connect with that's very satisfying in a way that I find I've been missing lately. So while I do hope you enjoy the writings to follow, I must apologize in advance if they are in no way interesting or helpful to you.

So without further adu, I hereby christen this new blog - Prinnies on Parade!
