After I ate lunch at work on Friday, I went to the kitchen to get a fresh cup of coffee and I found my best female friend preparing a salad for her lunch.
Two years ago, my friend and I had planned a girls' night out, but she cancelled on me at the last minute. I was very disappointed and I was kind of cool towards her for a couple of weeks. I don't know if she noticed, but after the frigid weather, things returned to normal between us more or less. Less because I stopped sharing all my transgender adventures with her as I had in the past.
I had my iPod Touch in hand when I walked into the kitchen, so I decided I would test the waters. I told her I wanted to show her a recent photo and she seemed very interested.
I showed her the photo I had taken before attending my law school reunion. She thought I looked "stunning" and she asked me to e-mail her the photo, which I proceeded to do.
We repaired to her office and indulged in about 10 minutes of girl talk until she had to take a business-related phone call.
I told her all about my reunion. Then we got on the subject of aging and she was shocked when I revealed my age to her. She thought I looked younger than my age and I mentioned how I use moisturizer and eye cream. That led to talking about selling Avon.
Then she asked me if I could have one wish granted to me, would I wish to live as a woman the rest of my life? Absolutely, I told her and I added that I would live 24/7 as a woman now if I could.
Then the phone rang.
I am glad that I tested the waters with her and that she was happy to talk to me woman-to-woman.
The last sentence got me to thinking back when I was caught by an older sister when I was in my early twenties. I was left alone in the house as our parents had went on a vacation and they asked her to come by and check on me even though I had a full time employment. She came by and found me completely dressed as a woman; she asked if I wanted to talk about it. I said I wanted to have a woman to woman talk and she said we can never have a woman to woman talk and I said a woman to whatever then.
ReplyDeleteI am now divorced for over twenty years and still live about one hundred miles from my two sisters because they will never understand or accept why I prefer to dress as a woman.
I'm glad to hear your situation worked out well, Stana, you're very fortunate.
ReplyDeleteHon, what a LOVELY photo... and I'm so happy you two had some fun "girl talk"
