I Love Being Rachel! @lovebeingrachel - Tumblr Blog

An interesting thing about being trans, especially late in life, is envisioning what you want for your body. Nature has limits, though I suppose anything can be done with surgery. I’ve always been a lover of the natural way, so would like to keep things simple. I’m beginning to think I’ll like my body if I just let it develop naturally. I would like some curves, but I’m tall and I’m finding myself more comfortable with my leaner figure. I’ll never be as pretty as Kate Moss, but I like her shape and would be super happy with that. I always wanted long hair when I was young, but I’m kinda liking the short look on me, too!

I love skirts and dresses, but I’ll always be a jeans and t-shirt girl 😉

Ten years ago on the Seine near Notre Dame. I would say that I was looking for Rachel, but that’s not quite apt... I always knew she was there, though I didn’t know then her name.

I’ve always been a traveler, always restless, always looking for something. I’ve discovered and enjoyed many things, but the most exciting discovery of all is finally finding the courage to set her free. Perhaps even that isn’t perfectly stated, it was more a matter of her insisting that it was time, that she could not be denied any longer. And thank god for that.

Sunshine!

Sunshine! I’m not convinced about the shorter hair, though. 🤔😘 I’m comfortable with my appearance but I have these complicated feelings of doubt and self consciousness. Partly fed, I know, by the truly beautiful images I view on IG and other places. I’ve always felt really strongly that one shouldn’t base one’s self-worth on the opinions of others and yet, this is a new space I’m in. So I find that I really need and value hearing from others that I’m... ok 😊

Anyone one who knows me will definitely tell you, I have wanderlust. I’m a travel junkie, always have been. So it’s not too surprising that this book by Elisabeth Eaves really resonated with me. I loved her journey of self-exploration, and I also very much appreciated traveling through the eyes of a woman. I found it to be a very powerful story, though at least one reviewer thought that she defined her “self worth and experiences” based on the men in her life. But the feelings that come with spending months or years of ones life on the road, the loneliness, the joys, the attachments that one gains and loses, seemed very familiar to me. I appreciated the perspective of a fellow traveler. You might also be interested in her account of immersing herself as a stripper in New York: “Bare: On Women, Dancing, Sex, and Power.”
