My brother Blake's girlfriend was the one to give me my first shot (bonding moment wouldn't you say lol) In a room full of some of the most important people in my life, the needle pierced my skin and in an instant my life changed forever. There is no going back now, I am finally on the road I have always dreamed of taking. I am blessed to have the people in my life that I do, I am honored that they were there to experience it with me. It is truly the beginning of the rest of my life. I am excited for the changes I will go through and for the adventures ahead of me.
The changing of my name is in the works, I have learned that will cost about $200. For the most part people have begun to call me Jason on a regular basis. The only place I really have any issue is at work and some of the members of my family.
I learned today that my grandparents have pretty much "disowned" me for lack of better words. I am to them a disappointment and in their words my father would not agree with my choices. It is sad to know that they can not approve of my lifestyle or the choices that I make. As my grandparents you would think they would want me to be happy with my life but i guess that is not as easy for them as I would have hoped it would be.
so that is my update for now. I am going to start taking pictures and voice comparisons so that we can all watch my changes together...until next time..
Love and peace
~Jason~
You will always be part of my family and if your family or friends cannot accept the fact this is your decision to make then they are selfish cause they are going to miss out on seeing the person who you really are meant to be

I am sorry for your dismay regarding your family- but please try to remember that if they really want to be in your life- they will show it- no matter what- for just as they loved you as "Amber" with a pure heart of gold- they will also love you as "Jason" just the same- :) and as long as you love yourself- acceptance should never be a goal to conquer- for it is when you fully accept yourself that others will do so also. Good luck in your continued journey- God Bless! and Congrats on your accomplishing your first steps towards your dream.

hello brother-
ReplyDeleteI say screw the grandparents! Our father would actually have prefered to have a son! He actually WANTED all three of us to be sons. Thats why he called 1, 2, & 3. Instead of our names. Maybe now he would've called u Jason instead of #2. Anyways.... good luck. There's not much i can do from Oklahoma but if u think of anything let me know,

Congrats on starting T Jason! You'll get the courage to do your own injections at some point. Just takes time. I'm still having to have someone do mine as well. Hey sorry about your grandparents :( I hope they come around in time. Good luck with everything man.
