Never the less, she persisted !
Over the last few weeks, I've noticed something... I don't know if it my hair (i.e. length and quantity) or my weight loss or if it is actually the impact of hormonal therapy... but I can't see 'that boy' any more, even with my hairline as it is and with my unzapped facial hair.
One evening this week I was stood in my hallway at home, I took off the head band I've been wearing quite a bit and took my ponytail out .... I shook my head to let my hair sit naturally ...
I burst into tears ... because it reminded me of the first few seconds of a video featuring a (professional ballerina) ballet acquaintance of mine... I'm loathed to post the link but that might just be Imposter Syndrome again - comment and nag me if you think I'm not being too arrogant to make that comparison.

I was talking to a friend of mine about this and she said ' i can understand what you mean about the hair thing ' ... and said i ought to post the link to the video
ReplyDeleteMy friend persuaded me to do this , 'after all Nicola you aren;t saying you dance like her' ... just that the first few seconds struck home https://www.agirlreconstructed.com/2019/06/never-less-she-persisted-post-script.html
