Melissa Carter 2007

I went through big changes in 2007. This was the year I felt like a transsexual finally, not a crossdresser. Learned some good and painful lessons about what the world is willing to accept, and what they're too damn uptight to face.

I faced two firings, a horrible car accident that left 17 stitches in my scalp and the realization that I will probably never be close to my family. I had my wake-up call and finally understood to live this life you must be tough-as-nails and stop caring what people think.

This was my final goodbye to the mainstream world. I felt pushed out but the truth is those companies were doing me a huge favor.
