Entry 797: Seen & Heard.

I need to remember these words.

I am seen. I am heard. I am valid.

Its easy to forget those three statements especially when you don’t feel heard or seen, which in turn does not make you feel valid at all. 

My experiences lead people to come to me for advice. I can only do so much as what they’re asking happened over 9 years ago. Things have most definitely changed since I started my transition, I don’t know everything. I didn’t know everything then either. I can only tell people my experience and remind them that it is probably very outdated information. 

But people still come and ask and want to know where to go and what to do. 

I am seen. I am heard. I am valid.

You are seen. You are heard. You are valid.
