Feeling Frustrated

    As I sit here this morning I feel a bit down that I can't be me. I'm supposed to meet some people for breakfast this morning & have to do it in male mode, which sucks. I finely got my nailpolish on right, not a dab out of place & an awsome color. But it has to come off.

    The reality is that I can never really go out as Karen. All the clothes & makeup on earth couldn't make me look right. After all the operations I had in 06 I have a huge gut with a scar as big as the palm of my hand right in the middle of it.

    Evan with out that at 52 it seems to late to start. If I would have had internet 30yrs ago I would have not felt so alone & so afraid to be the girl I want so badly to be. 

    I'm still alone. The net & being here at GS is not a real substitute for real friends. 

    Don't get me wrong I've met some real great ladies here. But my laptop can't hold a hand or wipe a tear.

    So I'll just keep feeling sad & go on with life as it is.
