This was the first picture that the world ever saw of me as my authentic self.
It took me over 3 months of being on HRT to gain the courage to even do so.
I didnât come out to my job until December 26th, over 6 months later.
Everybodyâs story is different.

Those eyebrows!
Oh, what they started as. But that shirt... that was my first womenâs racer back tank top that I wore, as me, for the first time.
Itâs not instant, transition. In fact, itâs painfully slow.
But any step forward is a step forward.

This one. See, this one right here.
This one is me, looking into my phone and seeing the first glimmer of âherâ looking back.
Still one of my favorite moments.

I think this pic made me legit bawl my eyes out. I mustâve stared at this picture in bed for what has to have been a half an hour. And the tank top was my girlfriends.
Iâm pretty sure this was the point I got to when I realized I could really feel âokâ.

Taken in the bathroom of my work.
I think this was the point when I realized I had to tell my job. Wearing a jacket around the office every day wasnât going to be sustainable.
Iâm so glad it wasnât.

Nearly a year ago today.
It truly is crazy to look back at these and remember exactly how I felt when I took them, wondering what the next week or month had in store for me.
Iâm still wondering that today, in every good way.

There isnât a timetable for embracing who you are. And there isnât a cutoff or some magical age where it âwonât workâ.
Itâll be hard. Itâll be emotional. And there might even be times when youâre so scared, youâll try to talk yourself out of it.
Donât.
Be yourself. Always.
