Short introduction by Abbey

Hello,

my name is Ivy Jane. Abbey in my nick comes form when a friend with a cold, who called my name, but it sounded like Abbey and I really liked it. I'm in my early 30's, a highland girl from central European Carpathian ridge. I enjoy arts&crafts, woodworking and iron forging to the point, where I would like to make rustic home decor and accessories my living.

I knew that I was different from early puberty, but chose not to do anything about it. And it had nearly brought me to the edge of attempted suicide. But only after years of misery and denial. That was my turning point and in that pivotal moment in my life I got quite angry with myself for falling for fears instead of rising to the challenge of being trans-gender. Two years later I'm still trying to figure things out. I had a few coming-outs, some of them pleasant, some of them not. Most of my family knows, but I am not firm enough in the matter to push them to acknowledge and take it for a fact.

I live quite a solitary life in my iron working workshop and on the internet. Walking the hills and cooling my weary head  in highland streams.

Looking to make a few friends to chat, find answers to some real deep questions and to sip from fountain of wisdom gathered here.

Have a great day, Abbey.
