Title: HRT - 18 Months
Post by: allisonsteph on July 15, 2015, 01:45:50 PM
I began HRT 18 months ago this week. Every day I look in the mirror hoping to see changes, hoping to see the reflection that I have pictured in my mind since I was a child. Every day I look at my reflection and am disappointed, it seems as nothing has happened at all. Days like today I am glad that I have documented my journey, taking photos every month, recording the changes incrementally. Comparing photos from the week I started HRT to photos this week, there are changes. As subtle as they may be, I am much closer to what I had imagined than I was 18 months ago.
