Tá ár n-uaillmhianta aisling

Tá ár n-uaillmhianta aisling, is Gaelic (Irish) for "Dreams are our ambitions" which I thought was appropriate for today's blog post.  Must like every single woman, trans or not, the reflection in the mirror is far worse then how I want to look.  I guess this is true for anyone but for me I am going from something I despise for being it for far to long.  I guess the best way to compare it would be taking clay from the ground, dirty and unrefined, and going to an amazing porcelain work of art, and I am still in the clay stage.  Perhaps refined, all the impurities are gone and I am starting to take shape but when I look in the mirror I see what I dont feel.  Anyways my point to all this is for us to dream, our dreams are our ambitions.  So if we are going to strive for something then dream.. dream big because the bigger you dream the stronger your ambitions will be to get you there.
