I always thought the secret to life was to love God and love thy neighbor as thyself. Sounds like you're doing great on loving thyself, but true happiness comes from what you do for others. Anything less is shallow and egotistical.

I would offer that anyone who loves themselves and lives authentically inspires the many girls who are still trying to find themselves. There is nothing shallow or egotistical about that.

@lizk HI Liz! It sounds to me like we are saying the same thing with different wording. Was your point meant to be in agreement or disagreement with me?
Jules
@juliarey I took it as agreement. I didn't mean what I said to be the #1 most important thing. God definitely is #1 and my daughter 1a.
Accepting that I was not the center of my own universe and that someone else with higher authority than me, a mortal human being, was a big deal. Also, I don't know when it was exactly that I came around, but when I learned to love myself was a big deal. I am enough. I am awesome just as me. For so many years I didn't like myself. I didn't even realize I didn't like myself. That lead to a negative self perception & self destructive actions.
It might just be a couple compliments here & there as shallow as that seems. There is a female self help influencer that gives dating perspective to women from a man's viewpoint. She said that men get so few compliments on their appearance that you would be surprised how far a simple compliment gets you. I was at an introspective point in my life, & a lady friend remarked how genuine I was. I can tell you where I was, what the time of day, & what I was doing. That's how much it meant to me.
As it relates to crossdressing, it gives me the courage to dress how I want. Yes, people are going to recognize me because I am a man dressed super girly & w makeup on (classy, from the waist up, but very princessy 🌺) But I will be judged on if we have a fun, flirty conversation.
You are correct about a God centered life.
