I could look in the mirror & not be repelled by what I see.  Maybe I'd even get to the point where I'd be satisfied to continue living! (Well... maybe THAT'S a little far-fetched.)
I could sit on the couch, eat junk food & watch football!  Maybe I'd even bring home a case of Bud Light! 
And, if I REALLY wanted to get into it... I'd go out & buy me a new pick-up! Yeah... I'd get me a Dodge Ram 4X4 super cab... sw-e-e-e-e-e-t... And then I could buy some tickets to a Vikings game & drive there in my new wheels. Maybe I'd even go bare-chested & paint my body purple & gold... & wear a Viking helmet... you know... the kind with horns that the real Vikings never wore! 
Ah... I don't know. This is starting to sound just as involved as shaving my legs...  Maybe I'll just stick my head in the toilet & flush...  |
Well, you know, exploring who we are isn't a bad thing to do. I know I explored my feminine side for a few years when I was a bit younger. I don't really regret it because it showed me who I am not. If I didn't have that I wouldn't know for sure who I am.

I'm sure the effect will wear off, but still it's good to see how such simple things can actually provide some comfort.
So I went back to the shop to order the same shirt in a different color but they didn't have my size anymore. Something to look forward to I suppose [emoji13]

Man I am in love with clothing now, hah! All those years of glancing longingly to the men's section and finally I am there. Funny, when I was a "girl" I hated shopping and now that I've embraced my male self I love shopping. Here's to breaking the stereotypes!
