'It Happened to Me: I Told My Boyfriend I Was Born a Boy' by Janet Mock →

Janet’s story is every transwoman’s dream: to love and be loved as who they are. Most of the transwomen I know have found love amidst this cruel and unfair world. I’m happy for them, really. But there’s always a part of me that wishes: “sana ako rin… sana maranasan ko rin ‘yan [me too… I wish I also experience the same thing].” For someone like me who’s been single all this time, I can’t help not to feel that way. The sad reality is I don’t know if it could happen to me. I really don’t know :(

“There’s something we need to constantly remind ourselves to do so we attract a fantastic life, and that is to LIGHTEN UP! Because when we’re serious about anything, we will always attract more serious circumstances. When we lighten up, instantaneously we change our future and we make it brighter! Tell yourself right now to just LIGHTEN UP, and you will feel much better immediately. Got the feeling?”
—Rhonda Byrne

Dear Friends,
Here is an ancient Chinese proverb: “One should not miss the flavor of being sick, nor miss the experience of being destitute.”
Not an inspiring saying, perhaps, at first sight, but actually quite profound. To miss an experience means resisting, complaining, huffing and puffing (which is futile, since it is what it is already). The alternative? Choose to ‘be the space’ for whatever experience Life (the present moment) gives you. Allow the Now to be as it is. Then there is a depth to who you are. And inner peace. And right action arising out of that.
With love,
Eckhart
