Hi everyone. Something genuinely beautiful just happened to me.

I’m almost 10 months on T. On Twitter, I was comparing pre-T pics to pics of me to pics of me on my Philly trip last weekend. I went to check in the mirror to take pictures and see if I was really happy with the changes.

When I looked at myself, I was so happy that I couldn’t stop grinning and I started crying. These pics are real-time reactions.

I have a long way to go in my transition, but for the first time in 23 years, I genuinely love what the mirror shows me. I genuinely love looking at myself. I genuinely look like myself.

Keep looking to your future. It holds bright things if you make it.
