I screw up my life this month. I decided to quit my job, change cities, change boyfriends. And what for? I am just aimlessly flopping around here... without purpose.
So it then occur to me, I have enough money for FFS... I have 10 k.
I might not get a job for another month, the way things look... I'm not going to transistion but just go for androgynous look.
so I might as well be productive with September/October
I contact Dr. Cardenas today... which I think is the best choice I could had done.
I think I want to just blow it, and get my face fixed. It's the only thing I want, so it's pretty much a neccity. I mean I save up 10 k on a minimum wage job for this lol... in 1 yr! I think now is the time. I just get worried about thinking about my family, but it's either this... or my unhappiness

Well, it sounds like it could work out, but only if you know you have back-up plans for your back-up plans. Imagine everything that could go wrong, and make sure you have contingencies for those situations... This is certainly a risky move, so make sure the shot is precise and planned-out.

Ask yourself this first: Is there anything you like about your face? Really really think about it. There must be something you like... Have you always felt like what you saw in the mirror was so horrible? When you've dressed up as a woman, have you ever seen yourself and said "I look beautiful"?
If you have, then it's not worth it to have this surgery. There's no guarantee that this surgery is going to make you happier. In fact, it could make you even more miserable.

That's who I went too. I went with the expectation of nothing and was surprised at how well I turened out as well as the two girls I saw while I was down their. Although I did not really feel I chaned or looked any better others tend to think so. The same with another girl I know from down their. She did not think she looked different or good and she really did and looks amazing. If you think tour ready for it or want to be spontaneous then I say go for it.

Quoted for epic truth. It is always wise to put a very long time of careful consideration into the choice of FFS.
