In just over 4 hours ill turn 1.

1 year since it all clicked and i realized I was #trans.

10 months on #hrt (9 of which were ineffective -.-)

3rd month of getting my name changed.

A couple dozen laser hair removal sessions and a few electrolysis ones too.

4 hair colors.

About 60 nail polish colors until i settled on one.

525,600 minutes. (Sorry)

2 shoe sizes

2 inches of height

4 friends

6 family members

2 mastodon instances

A name

A life

The way i walk

The way i sit

The way i snore

How food tastes

How emotions feel

How i think

How my memory works

The way the universe feels, pressing against my skin

Internal temperature

Voice (workin on it)

Ethical non-monogamy

On and on and on.

Eveything has changed.

Its been the best year of my life.

Its been the only real year of my life.

And i havent come this far to only come this far

@Subrote What did you to with your extra 4000 minutes?
@hotkey yeah its not been a great week for me remembering lyrics
@Subrote On leap years they have to sing 527,040 minutes
@Subrote you've lost 2 inches of height and 2 shoe sizes already? That's incredible, congratulations 💜
@you_jo_girl thats just from a lack of T, too. E may bring the numbers down further
@Subrote two inches and two shoe sizes seems to be the norm. It's the timescales that vary wildly (I haven't lost any height or shoe size in two years but I'm still hoping)
@you_jo_girl nooooooo. i wanna be smoooool lol
@Subrote I mean, it's possible to lose more
@you_jo_girl im actually really happy with where i am rn. So so much progress when i stop and look back.
@Subrote I can see that, it's wonderful how far you've come in 10 months 🥰
