What can we do?
We can hold true to ourselves, and just give a nod of recognition to those
who are heading towards their life Transition...knowing that ours
has/will/may most likely play out differently.

goes on inside and outside of our minds and Spirits.
If you are competitive by nature, be careful to examine this if you
feel 'pressured' by others that are doing their best to meet their
ideals of reaching the (masculine) match
between their minds and bodies.
