(image is from earlier in the week, because I look a little rough today and I like this picture quite a lot)

That's it really.. I was a bit anxious so I ended up with a little post injection pain but that cleared up after a few hours. I'm pretty excited, hopefully this all works out well.

I added nsfw cause like.. maybe? (and also needle mention) but yeah.

I hope everyone has had (or is having) a good day <3

Thanks! I knowww, everything takes forever with trans healthcare, I'm sorry <3

I'll try to appreciate the things I have, I think I'm doing better at that now than I have been anyway.

Also do you mean you haven't started HRT yet? or just injections?

    i've started finasteride which is not really what most people mean by "HRT" but i can definitely confirm that it has some of the nice positive side-effects for me. it kinda blocks the effects of testosterone on the body, so it's on the receptor side; not on the testo-production side like other testo blockers.

    anyways, i've had a hang-up about starting estrogen for years because of personal and medical complications. for years i've just not felt ready yet, and yesterday i had a dream that revealed to me that i'm gonna start the full package within the next few months ... so i guess that's how it's gonna be. i just need to be patient, patience is a virtue and all that ...
