The name Alice is a French derivative of an Old High German name meaning noble. Not the born into a family with a notable status and rank kind of noble, but the good person with courage that values things like honesty and integrity. More importantly, Alice is the name of my most favorite heroine who found herself very much out of her depth trying to reason with the unreasonable.
I am not Alice, not yet anyway, but I will be soon.
While the legal name change process is a bit of a tedious exercise it’s not especially challenging provided you can collect all the required items and come up with the fees, but that’s not what’s going to change my life. That’s my part to do I suppose, healing and finding a way to move forward. It’s okay though because at least I know there is a way forward now, well I believe there is anyway.
