So it’s been about three years now since I started my journey of self discovery and redefinement. I don’t have an official start date so I just say it’s mid January where I decided to throw caution to the wind and go all in with my transition.
Remembering back to how I felt then, feels so long ago. That scared but hopeful girl trying to pick up the pieces of someone else’s life and create something entirely new. It wasn’t easy and in fact was the hardest challenge I’ve ever faced. I had no idea where I would be in three years and I wish I could show her where she’d be. Things aren’t perfect but I’m making the best with what I have. I’m proud of who I have become. I’m far from perfect and I’m constantly learning more about myself everyday, but I’ve come so far and I’m really proud of myself for it. I don’t know what the future holds but I have full intentions of finding out and hopefully in another three years or so I’ll be able to look back to where I am right now and feel similarly about how far I’ve come.
