There's nothing impossible with God. I guess God is calling you to live life in line and according to His will. You are fearfully and wonderfully made as James go for it, we're all here to support you!!!
Nothing is ever too late. Opportunities always come back around in time. Even though time moves forward there's always another chance. We only stop getting chances when we die, so while you are alive, take each one that comes your way and make the most of it. This applies to everything also of course.
I I know the road to transformation back to your real identity won't be easy but you know with the grace of God it will become easier. Update us with your transformation.
Haha! boy, ur a common case of "someone wanting to fit the crowd and getting popular". Now that you are over with that stage lets go to reprogram ur brain... Not into being a "man" or a "woman" or a "sissy" or a "lumberjack", but into being YOU... Who are you? (that question is not as easy to answer as it seems) If you get a blessing from heaven that everyone would treat you as any other human being, with lots of respect as any adult deserves, regardless of what you wear, what you look like, what gender you are, in fact you could look like X-men Mystique and people will treat you fairly, with no more love than normal, and with no less love than normal, with no more admiration than normal and no more respect than normal for any good decent person in the street. You could be showing em a knife and they will be treating you fairly and with respect, even if you were bathing yourself in liquid gold... If that'd happen, what would you choose to be?how would you choose to be?... No degree of manliness or sissiness would make em treat you differently: for this hypothetical scenario you are a common normal good fair looking person in the street passing by... Now... how would you look like?, what you'd wear? how you'd behave yourself? how would you talk? which gender would you be? would you be more masculine? more feminine? which gender would you choose as a partner... Imagine yourself in this scenario and reinvent yourself right here and right now... tell me... im waiting
Hi James! I'd suggest you look up this thing called 'Neuroplasticity' , and believe me mate , it'll surprise you. Guess , it's suffice to say YOUR BRAIN CAN BE REWIRED and the fact that you recognize that you have a problem is amazing! Welcome to Nofap! All the best for becoming the best version of yourself!
The thing mate is that you will only be happy being yourself. If being sissy makes u miserable then thats a sign that you have shaped ur life and person to please others instead of being yourself, and yes, thats troublesome... so as Sheryl Crow used to sing "if it makes you happy then why the hell are you so sad" bc thats a sign that its not what you really want or doesnt reflect your real self... its a mask
Hi Jamie, thanks for sharing your story. It's fantastic to see that you've found your identity after "seeking awareness" as you put it. We all go through stages of anxiety about our sexual identity or orientation, and none more than those of us who have trouble with pornography addiction.
There's a lady who's sure All that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to heaven. When she gets there she knows If the stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for. There's a sign on the wall But she wants to be sure Because you know sometimes words have two meanings. In a tree by the brook There's a songbird who sings, Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven. And, it makes me wonder, And a new day will dawn For those who stand long And the forests will echo with laughter. And it makes me wonder Yes, there are two paths you can go by But in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on. And it makes me wonder. Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow?, And did you know? Your stairway lies on the whispering wind. And if you listen very hard The tune will come to you at last. When all are one and one is all To be a rock and not to roll. And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
Look I'm gonna come out and say that I find cryptic lyrics to have limited value in forum discussions. If you have something to say @dragonaire, why don't you say it?
Forget about what everyone thinks | analyze what you think of yourself first Forget about genders | we are all human Forget about being loved by others | learn to love yourself instead
Jamie knows what it means bc it speaks to the emotion, allegories speak to the subconscious But in plain english it means: not everything that glitters is gold, you are presented with lots of options, evaluate em and choose what you think it fits you... Dont take permanent steps unless u are completely sure (sometimes ourbeliefs are not based on complete data). And if on the road u find out that what you have chosen its not what you want then you can always change... Let the life present itself with their choices... Dont dispair bc the life is long enough and everytime has their time " Takes it easy, baby Take it as it comes Don't move too fast And you want your love to last Oh, you've been movin' much too fast"
Apologies, I hadn't realised that both of you were communicating through lyrics earlier. I need to read threads more carefully before posting!
Im gonna say some blasphemies here that they are completely true: Prada? is just a bag Loubutin? just shoes Subway? just a sandwich Caviar? just fish eggs Sushi? just uncooked fish Tiffani's? just a overpriced store Zanotti? Just sneakers Im living in venezuela and all of those "stairways to heaven" were ripped off from me at once... I had the best phones (pre iphone era), best watches, best everything (i still felt empty bc i thought that it would bring me admirers... far from truth)... Then communism appeared and i found out that i really never needed those stuff, now i only want to survive the day and get a job... I became minimalistic, and kinda freer btw
To make a conscious choice you have to take some stuff in consideration a) as a man you thought you needed more than what you had by nature just to compete... The reality? There are dwarfs who are superstars and really loved (Tyrion Lannister for example) b) you thought that as a girl you were earning the appreciation of most men. You only needed to be loved. And maybe they were attracted to the charm of ur persona more than bc of you being a girl. You choosed that path bc you are genuinely feminine or bc it was a shortage to "stardom"? c) if you need to change to gain the appreciation of someone else then that person is not for you. Theres something calles conditional love and other called "unconditional love" thats the one u should pursue https://lonerwolf.com/what-is-unconditional-love/ d) material stuff are not gonna complete you or make you better person. By using material stuff to increase ur value you are choosing the "peacock path"
Having given you stuff to think about...You can become a man if you want... Sexual orientation is more complicated, just follow what you feel attracted to and live a live with judgement, prudence and stay away of common and dangerous debaucheries. No one says you can't be a gay man after all... Auf Wiedersehen
Wow Jamie, thank you for being so honest, open and courageous to share your story with us. I don't have any answers for your questions. However, before you give up your gayness, why don't you try having sex with a few girls, I mean with lesbian girls. Then you can decide if girls are more your thing than men. Take it slowly, though - you will probably have to go with a few girls before you can decide. Good luck my friend!
Hey Jamie, so what is wrong with that? You are gay and you are perfect just the way you are. Trying to force yourself to become who you are not is not going to bring you happiness. Don't try to change yourself: you are a beautiful person and don't need to change anything. Just find someone to love and who loves you the way you are and everything will fall into place. Take care buddy.
