I can't believe it's been 2 years since that moment of reckoning. Seems like just yesterday!
The first time I logged on here was more than 2 years ago. It was only about half a year earlier that I figured out who I was. When I logged in here for the first time I was still in such denial. Now in 2016, 2 years transition and 23mo HRT, I've never been happier.
Hope this encourages others to be themselves.
This topic by Violet Bloom was very inspirational to me. She is a year ahead of my transition, it was like looking 12 months into the future at my own. One of my favorite threads here on Susans.

+100 to everything Lilliana says.
Best transition video I've ever watched. Super uplifting.
And yes, we all want that Tshirt. Where did you get it?
Great video.
It's always so inspirational to see some ladies transition in their 30s or 40s.

Do you mean that ladies who transition in their 50s or 60s are less inspirational ? ;) :)

Ha, I was thinking the same thing but I know she does not mean it. I hope my social security check is on time this month as I tire of my diet of cat food.

I just wanted to tease you a little. ;)
You are lucky, 40 is almost as young as 25 ! :)
Thank you all for the positive words! I never thought would ever transition but now, 2 years later, I can't imagine the old life.

Amazing video and wow what a change. you look so good
Hope it´s ok that i ask , was the facial change all from HRT?
Wonderful video! I had a smile on my face and a tear in my eye while watching it! What a change! Your personality, positive and happy, springs out from your last few pictures! So happy for you!
So awesome! Great video. You look beautiful and happy :)
Thank you all again! I'm humbled.
Cassuk, yes just HRT. Hormones are amazing!
Wow, great video! I teared up watching it. You look amazing, but most important of all, you look so HAPPY!
When I watch these videos it is the eyes that tell the story. At the beginning of each video the eyes are always so sad but in the end the happiness shines brightly. Wonderful video.
Hugs,
Heather
Yes, I am happy. Yesterday was the two year anniversary of admitting to myself in the mirror of who I am. Just last night as I went for a walk, looking at the orange late summer sunset, it occurred to me that I made it.
I exclaimed on the empty walking trail "I MADE IT!"
Tears of joy streamed down for quite a while.
I feel like I have a new lease on life.
I feel like I can dance, finally, rather than living life on the sidelines.
Thank you for sharing your story and truth with everyone!
A wonderful video and story ;D
