βReading this late at night? I've been there. Two years ago, that was me. Starting HRT, every single day. Now I sleep most nights. It changes. It really does. Be gentle with yourself.β
βTo whoever needs this: A year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. A name change on all the forms, every single day. Last weekend I went to a friend's birthday and stayed till the end. You're not on your own.β
βI was right where you are in 2023. Back then it was married with kids and only now admitting it to myself. I laugh properly again. It doesn't stay this heavy. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.β
βI was in the same place eighteen months ago. A waiting list for the gender clinic, every single day. I've started painting again. You get yourself back in pieces. You're not on your own.β
