2 Years Today - HRT

I am writing this today, while still in my bed, in a rainy Sunday morning. The day on the calendar reads March 28, 2021. I am taking my daily 3 pills of Estrogen to continue my journey as a Transgender woman. Today is a special milestone for me, it has been exactly 2 years since I started my transition with HRT.

It seems like yesterday that I walked into my therapist office and then, with her blessings, to my Medical Doctor to finally get started with the rightfully prescribed and life saving estrogen pills.

I was so eager, excited and relieved all at the same time to start this amazing journey to better my existence. 

All of a sudden my life had started to mean and to matter again, I had and still have a purpose. I was and I am finally armed with an unexpected newfound inner joy that, fairly quickly, has changed my life for the better.

Before starting "E",  I had always described myself like if I was walking through an imaginary dark tunnel hopelessly trying to find any positive light at its end.

Now, after two years living openly as a Transgender woman, I continue to be amazed by how the Hormone Replacement Therapy has been able to happily bring out my true self from where I kept it buried so deeply and so secretly for so long. 

I am happy and very thankful to be able to celebrate this 2 year anniversary of living as me today.

I hope this post will be found by those that still live their lives hiding their true selves, that it will let them know that they can too find the light at the end of that dark tunnel, because by living as you, you will live again.
