I don't mind blogs i like blogs but i'm speaking along the lines of transition i see a lot of people keeping track and it's neat but sometimes i question do i really want to someday document this for others or am i just following the crowd.
Just curious as to if other have had or questioned this feeling also :/ i know this is a little strange of a question.

Well, some documentation is valuable.  For example, in most jurisdictions, you have to live full-time for a year before going fo surgery.  Having the date when you started full-time documented will help to meet that requirement.

And sometimes it helps people set their minds at ease that they are making progress.  For example, keeping track of body changes on HRT will help them know that something is truly happening.

That was a tough decision for me. On one hand, I do think it's really cool to look back at the photo montages and videos that guys have put together over the years to see how much they've changed. On the other, I've never really enjoyed being in front of a camera and while it's more tolerable now that I've been on T for a while, it's still not something I enjoy.

I take a few good selfies a month and will usually post a few of them on Instagram. When I hit anniversary dates for things like when I started T or when I had top surgery, I'll go back and look at pics from then just to see how far I've come. But that's about as far as I go.

I definitely prefer blogging.
