Hey! I’m glad to hear you’re doing well!

I’ve been alright. Four months on E as of three days ago! I’ve recently discovered that I have more support amongst my friends than I initially thought. There are only a few people in my life who haven’t actually been supportive and I am grateful for what I have, especially considering how bad some folks have it :(

Talk about emotional rollercoasters: Last week, I had a mental breakdown on Discord after my roommate opened a discussion about the Olympics. I went off on him, completely misinterpreting his message, and proceeded to unload my fears into the channel. The resulting conversation with all of my friends ended with me transferring ownership of the server to another friend, leaving, and bawling my eyes out for the rest of the evening. I discovered afterwards that my friends do care about me, that I am worthy of love, and that I can share anything with them. I have since properly introduced them to me, Téa, and they’ve been doing their best to acknowledge my new identity and treat me how I want to be treated. I feel loved and supported. I feel like I can actually face the nay-sayers now, as long as I have my friends behind me.

Suffice to say, I’m doing pretty well. I’m still getting used to HRT, but it’s been going well. I’m seeing progress and my levels are good.

I wish everyone here a safe and wonderful journey.
