Title: The little things that make all the difference~
Post by: Shana on June 08, 2013, 09:35:07 PM
Hello Everyone~ it's been quite awhile since I've posted :D Still been quite the lurker though~

I figured this would be a fun lil thread, as I'm curious about others experiences as well. Today I just bought my first set of hair ties and am now wearing my very first ponytail! It's such a small and silly achievement, but the amount of joy it brings is great! I was so giddy and excited earlier, showing everyone... :D even my girlfriend commented, "Oh wow, How do you do a neater ponytail than me?" It was so funny :) I literally had no idea what I was doing, but the result was a good one apparently~

So! What little things have you all accomplished towards your transition that seem meaningless, yet brought so much happiness to the table? ;D

I saw it as a massive step when I first had my eyebrows shaped. They were giant bushy dark brown caterpillars that would mock me every time I looked in the mirror but with baby steps (ie, over a month) I went from these giant things to lovely, still passably "guy" eyebrows with a nice feminine touch!
Still makes me very happy to have them shaped, reminds me of how far I have come :)

How I dressed - one of my girlfriends kept telling me how I dressed super well and nicely, even more feminine than most women do! I suppose that the hyperfemininity might take a bit to cool down, but without even trying, I seem to have a good sense of fashion and what works for my body!  ;)

Shaving my arms for the first time and seeing them the way they ought to look was one of the most amazing moments of my life.
