I don't think this journey ever ends. There is still much to be done, but the first hard bits are done. The painful scary bit remains. But that will be another story and deserves a different thread.
@ krobinson: Well, I think that you are correct.... this journey never does end BUT as we continue on down the road "scenery and experiences" do become different and eventually better as we forge our path..... once we leave the areas in our journey where everything is in turmoil, dealing with big changes in our relationships, especially immediate family and parents.... changes in employment relationships and jobs, etc.... then the journey becomes a much more enjoyable one where we forge a new path as our transformed new self.... where we are accepted for the person we have become and we start fitting in where we have always wanted to belong and where we can blossom as a person.
For sure, there will be some discarded stuff as that happens... friends that are no more, interests may change, our attitude and viewpoints about life and relationships definitely change.
BUT... for the most part, it is ALL GOOD.... time to get on with the business of everyday life and unlike the beginning of the journey, we don't have to deal with all of the dramatic and sometimes heartbreaking changes of the past that we have put behind us.
Time to start enjoying the life that we are now all the way integrated into.
Note: I am only speaking from my experience... 3+ years of HRT, 1 1/2 years Full-Time, relocated to a new place and a new job a long way away from my old life in a lot of ways. Of course, it goes without saying, everyone's journey will be unique to them.
