It's been 3.5 months since I started hormones, and I've increased once and switched another.  I have felt incredible.  The anxiety and anger have been decreasing monumentally, my self hatred rapidly turning into self love, though I am still learning all of these things.  I love who I see in the mirror, even at this early of a stage.  I made the decision to begin transitioning having no idea what to expect, and these positive changes have been so much more than I could have hoped for.  The fears of starting and doubts of my identity seem so far away.  I wanted to post a couple of before/after pics to show the differences, however slight, that hormones have begun to make.  I think a large part of the change is in my demeanor, joy, and outlook, in addition to any physical changes that may or may not be in my own head.  Either way, I wanted to share.

Side note: I've been considering starting to do tutorials of makeup, from basic face to full glam.  I want to present it in a way that is easy for anyone to try a little here and there instead of being overwhelming like "hey look how amazing I can do this," since I'm still learning too.  Lemme know what you think on that too!

Side side note: All pics here are original, without filters  :-*

Much love, Aria
