Closing time

 Wow didn't think my last post indicating I was bringing this blog to an end would be the most popular recently lol.

Still though my needs and thoughts are now more about my community than me. This blog has too date been about me and it would be unfair to blog about others. Elsewhere is best for that and to extent my influence that way 

This will stay open and if there are issues that affect just me then I may occasionally blog again but regular posts are winding down.

I have however taken time to look back at my early posts. I didn't have a clue did I. It did therefore serve it's purpose. It helped me find my voice, find that person who was lurking underneath all that time and gave me so much confidence.

To me now the battles ahead for my community are a priority. I couldn't have done that or even thought about that 7 years ago.

My inner strength is there because I'm free to be me. 

It's been epic...so far. 

Over on YouTube I'm building my profile and LinkedIn just keeps getting bigger. I'm amazed that I'm here. 

Shackles mainly have been dropped. There are still things to do, expression to be made and clothes to be worn of course. Things I'm still struggling to do and let go of.

Perhaps one of my last things in this blog will be to cover that.

In the meantime I'm confident in both my identity and sexuality. They are separate strands to me but all part of me. Concentric circles maybe where elements overlap but regardless I can now be fully me. 

That's so refreshing. 

When I started this barely anyone knew the real me. I hope you all do now but I'm still open to answering questions. It only helps to remove doubt, increase education and disapply misinformation.

Being true to oneself is totally liberating and I recommend it.

So in the coming weeks as this blog winds down I'll revisit key events and re-evaluate my thoughts. 

Going to be interesting so please stay tuned.
