Closing a circle

Retirement will oblige that the loose threads in the life of a transgender person be sewn back into place. For there is no place to run when all the mandatory distractions have been removed.

I keep calling it a clean up which it is and it involves closing the rest of a circle I hadn't entirely been able to accomplish before.

The patience endowed by experience helps me here because I understand all too well the way life in all its glorious messiness works.
