TsTexasDoll: I'm a mature TS who has almost seen & done it all, except finding true love. I thought I had it once, & only many years later after that relationship & it's sparks has long fizzled out have I realized that loving myself is most important whether another soul on this entire Earth does or not.
It's taken counseling, effort, and lots of hard work, but I like the direction my life is going. I no longer feel that I have to validate my self worth through the attention or love of others. That's not been exactly the easiest task, having come from parents & a family background with codependency issues or drug/ alcohol problems, having dealt with abandonment or loss of family altogther.
One thing is certain. Nobody's perfect. We all have our issues. How we handle those issues is what's important. Believing in yourself. Just love yourself honey or nobody ever will. Then, when it's right someone might come along to make you fall in love. I struggle to continue trying to keep those people I've lost alive in my heart. And I truly like & love who I am today. We are always learning always growing and always changing.

TsTexasDoll: My other hardest obstacle has been dealing with and overcoming grief of losing both of my parents and most all of my family without self-destructing. Many TSTG people have been abandoned by family and friends which make it very difficult .

TsTexasDoll: I have a deep love for people. I like making people happy and also I enjoy having money. There’s enough unhappy people in the world and it feels good spending time making others feel good. All of it motivates me.
