Alana's Journey

I went to the gym twice last week, and went for a 3 mile walk in the woods on Saturday. I'll be back at the gym next week.

I started hrt with great trepidation. I wasn't sure it was the right decision, but I had to try, and see if it would help me... This week, I've not once thought about any gender related stuff. I used to spend so much time and energy thinking about. I never thought I'd get to this point.

At some point you just live the life.

Life is what happens when you stop thinking about how it should happen and just let it. <3

I am proud of you, AA.

Thank you, Lauren. You've been my biggest cheerleader. 🫶🏻

Be like me and just go with the flow, I find stuff works out then.

Alana,


It is nice to see your updates about your transitioning journey.  Wherever it leads you will experience on your journey many things and numerous surprises, as well as some downs, some ups, some tears, and some wonderful joys.

That's what I've tried to do along my journey. It's worked out so far. 😀

Chrissy, it's been a wild ride at times. I've had some very high highs, and very low lows, but the journey has been amazing so far.

I had a very fun weekend. I was riding a euphoria high all weekend. My femininity felt very noticeable to me this weekend. I felt like I was carrying myself differently. How  I feel on the inside is beginning to show up on the outside.

Alana,


That is nice.  You likely will think and behave differently, and your viewpoints may change.

Now when I think I have nothing to wear it is more likely that I do not have the outfit I really want to wear.  As a guy, if I said I have nothing to wear, it was most likely because my clothes were unwashed.

I've been dealing with poorly fitting jeans the last few days. I decided to measure my hips tonight. I was shocked when I saw the tape measure read. 40 inches! My hips weren't that big pre-hrt.

I'll take it. 😁

Your body will change some over time for sure.

Today was a good day. I got some much needed rest after a long stressful week. I went out and got a pedicure, and Starbucks. Tomorrow I get my eyebrows done... I was scrolling through social media a few minutes ago, and saw a video about a company who re homes old stuffed animals. I started crying when I saw it. Twice this week I've cried. Hrt is magical. 🤩

Enjoy your journey!

The emotions really hit you early on don't they! I was a wreck and the slightest thing would have me bubbling away! It really made me realise how sterile and emotionless my male life had been up to that point. I remember the first time I wept uncontrollably watching a film. It was Blood Diamond of all things! Theres a scene at the end when Leonardo DiCaprio is dying of his wounds and makes that emotional call to Jennifer Connelly. It knocked me for six! Meet Joe Black still gets me too!
The longer I've been on HRT the more I've regained control of it but I still like a good cry now and then. I wouldn't change a thing!

That's so beautiful to read that you're feeling more connected to your emotional side. Sounds like this is a real positive in your eyes.

I didn't feel this as much from hrt as I was kinda already there! I remember crying my eyes out when a kid because a flower pot with a pretty flower in was smashed in a cartoon.  I couldn't handle something so pretty being damaged. I'm not any different now.

What are you getting done to your eyebrows? I hope it goes well and sure you'll love them.

The emotions have really come on strong recently. It's been really hard for me to manage. It feels like a switch flipped. I watched blood diamond in high school. It was shown to us in government class for some reason.
