I really kind of like being a girl! I've always seen myself as a tomboy. I think this feeling began like in high school and continued on into my late twenties. I've always had girl friends, but felt more like one of the guys. I think it's because I'm not a hugely sensitive person. My feelings aren't too easily hurt. I have an...um...blunt vocabulary. I drop the F-bomb and have no qualms about it. I'm not grossed out by poop or vomit or blood or dirt.
When I was in MomMode, I didn't see myself as anything. I was just there. I didn't have an identity, really.
Now, though, I'm digging this girl thing. I'm not big-time into clothes, but I'm enjoying buying stuff for myself more. Looking "cute" or whatever in clothes. Wearing pretty undergarments. Caring about my hair a little more. Manicures, pedicures, maintaining my appearance better. Maybe a necklace here and there. A touch more makeup than just my usual zit-covering spackle. This stuff makes me feel good about myself. It's what I've been missing.

Good for you! I went through something similar when my ex and I broke up. I think it's kind of a natural part of the healing process -- re-feminizing yourself. It's fun!
It's like you're writing a bio on me! I think we both found our girly side at about the same time. Girly Mels unite!!!
It does make you feel so good about yourself. I'll never lose my tomboy side, but I love having more of a balance & being able to pull one out depending on the situation.
Yay for you, it does feel wonderful. And you've always been cute. :)
