I've been eagerly awaiting the physical changed from hrt, and it looks like I'm slowly starting to get them. I'm definitely starting to see my face get softer, my skin texture is different, and I'm ever so slightly starting to get some fat redistribution. 😁

I first noticed it on my legs. Less muscle definition and softer skin. But I see my legs more than my face.  ;D

But after that, I did notice my facial features softening, so I look more like my mom and less like my dad. Sorry, Pops.  :)

The facial changes were very nice to see. 
Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

Yay! At early 30's it sounds like you're right on schedule, and can potentially be someone whose body responds well.

Congrats! 🎉


I can't wait for some pics.  ;D

It was a slow night at work last night, so I had some time to think.. I'm finally starting to feel like I'm becoming the person I always should've been. Deadname wasn't a happy person. Alana is a very happy person.  :D

Alana is a very awesome person. Girl, I've watched you grow and strive and yearn to be who you are. You've come such a massive long way from that introverted, shy, insecure girl I met a long time ago. You have come out of your shell and seen the world as it can be.

I am SO proud of you. You are an inspiration to everyone who thinks they can't do this.

Above all... remember: you are beautiful, you are valuable, and you have a shining spark of magnificence within you. Don't let anyone take that from you. Embrace who you are. <3
