While I can never truly understand the gender side of your struggle, I do recognize the distinction between being a boulder in the eyes of one's peers and being anything but a boulder in the eyes of oneself. That was a consistent conflict of my own in the Air Force.

Thank you Jay I really appreciate your reading my story and sharing your struggle with that same issue of what you are in the eyes of others vs. how you see yourself. It can be disorienting to me at times but I have gotten used to that feeling over the years.

I really appreciate your words dunya. I enjoy helping others when I can, I don't want to see anyone struggle. And yes, I know you're always there for me
