Therapist letter, actual start date for hrt (next Wed) and my first electrolysis experience today. Been a busy time lately, but in a great way. Laying groundwork, shopping, prepping for things to come, getting various aquatic avians to line up correctly.
The actual sensation of the electrolysis was unexpected. After reading about so many experiences I went in today fully prepared for some horrific experience akin to having my face jabbed with red hot needles and then sandpapered. It wasn't nearly as bad as I had built it up to be in my head, and the prospect of the time and effort it'll take to meet my goals for it do not seem nearly as daunting now.
Feels like things are lining up in ways that would have struck me as unrealistic or impossible even a year ago. Lining up and coming together with this incredibly wonderful and peaceful sense of forward progress and exciting momentum.
Good stuff.
