Covid Lockdown and Life Changes

 Thought the previous post  would be the last but guess that was not to be. A medical condition has reappeared which has shaken me badly, but I am dealing with it as best I can. I came out to family as non binary, with various reactions from what I understand. I  did it over the phone which was not good. I didn't want to do it that way, but this lockdown is soul destroying. Hopefully it will ease and I can get out and away for a break.

Going to see family will be interesting. I have said I will not present as female in any way as that is what they want when they see me. I got a feeling of mistrust, but my feeling is I have put all my trust in them now. I was never going to turn up  as female. They never have to see me unless they want to.

I stated that whatever questions if any they have I will answer. One thing I found annoying was being told its my choice to be this way if I want. It's never been a choice. It's who I am. Been through the purges saying that's it. Never decided one day I would like to be transgender. Society's attitude made me soul search, thinking all sorts of bad things about myself  how people would perceive me etc 

As for acceptance, if and how I don't know. I feel a greater sense of freedom now. They know me better and in a strange way they are coming out to me with how they think and what they say or don't say.

I love  them dearly and always will.

Love and Light xxx

Chinese New year January 2020 Saturday

Saturday

I got myself a quick breakfast at the train station and hopped on a train to Blackpool. It was straight through from Manchester which was fine.
I came in at Blackpool North station. Blackpool had changed quiet a bit since I had last been there. One of my best times out was when my friends had taken me out in Blackpool for my birthday. I rang Kate to find out where her hotel was.
After some minor problems with the phone I  found her hotel where she, Suki and another lady ,Anna who I  had met  briefly before were waiting.
After a drink the plan was to catch a tram to Fleetwood.
It was really cold and windy. On the front Anna, Kate, Suki and myself caught a tram. I
must admit the trams have had a big upgrade compared to the last time I was  in Blackpool.

After a bit of shopping in the free port area of Fleetwood, we caught a tram back to Blackpool.
I then caught a train back to Manchester. It had been a lovely afternoon with the girls.

Back in Manchester I met up with Diana and Ash. It was lovely to see them both, but I had a bit of a problem with the one venue which was packed and I felt at one point I was going to pass out. At that point I felt it would be better to call it a night.

Sunday
I woke feeling not to bad. I was disappointed with myself having to cut Saturday night short with Diana and Ash.
In the afternoon I went into Chinatown to see the Chinese New Year celebrations. It was very busy.  
 






       It's been nearly a year since I started this post and Covid 19 has swept the world. Lockdown after lockdown. People losing their lives to it. Job losses. I fear for the future. Vaccines are starting to be used to combat the virus. Personally my future has started to look more bleak with something else. I would love to get out again. When that might be I don't know. I guess this blog is it's final stages.
