I am Cait... and so are you

I am Cait. When it comes down to it... we all are. We are all simply vessels trying to navigate our way through this journey of life. We are not all on the same path but we are all trying to get to the same place... a state of happiness. That state will look and feel different for everyone. Who am I to say what it should be for you.

I am Cait. Just another HUMAN BEING trying to live my best life. Even if no one else understands it. Approves of it. Or likes it. I am flawed. Complicated. And largely MISUNDERSTOOD. But I wont let any of that stop me from being the most authentic version of myself.

I am Cait. Someone who wants to be accepted and loved as I am.

I am Cait and I am not under the impression that putting on make up, wearing a designer dress, or walking in high heals makes me a woman... but I enjoy all of it... so I do it.


I am also fortunate because I was born in a body that feels right. What I see on the outside matches what I feel on the inside. I have not spent my life warring with myself over feelings that although undeniable are also not understandable. I have had the privilege of being comfortable in my own skin and not being scared to death of who I am.

What most people miss about Cait is that this is not who she decided to be at the age of 65. It is who she has been for 65 years and afraid to say so. 

I am  a woman. Not just based on the sum of my anatomical parts. It is who I am... the way I feel... at the very core of my being. I am a woman and although I know what that means for me I wont pretend to know what it means for anyone else.

Stop letting your fear of the different... and your quickness to judge deafen you. Let her voice be
the one that opens the doors to a new dialogue.... the message is not about courage....its about acceptance. When you hear that then you can begin to realize... in some small way we are all Cait.
