One of the best things about having this blog is that I get to not only have a conversation with 'you' but with myself. I get to think a full thought through where otherwise it's just a fragment in my head that I can nod along with. For example, for the longest time I referred to Caitlyn as if she were a separate part of me. An entity in my head that was distinctly NOT me. Then after writing it out I started talking about her as my feminine side. I accepted her as a part of me. And now, more recently, I feel comfortable simply talking about my feminine side. I don't have a specific part of me that's feminine... I simply have a feminine aspect that waxes and wanes. Calling that part of me by any name, let alone Caitlyn, feels out of date but I'm going to just go with it for now.
