    This should have put a stop to my errant behavior but it didn't. It did make me wonder what was wrong with me. So I prayed.. I asked god to make me a girl or make me accept who I was. No answers ever came. I did everything I knew to avoid feeling like I was broken but nothing worked long term. Oh, I might be ok for a bit but in the end the feeling that I wasn't right would overwhelm me.
