Today I am one year post-op. Today I full-out belly laugh. Today I recognize Top surgery as one of the greatest gifts I could have ever given myself. Today my life is no longer defined by top surgery (wanting it, waiting for it, recovering from it) but is defined by all the things my brain and body are capable of when they are not stifled by dysphoria. Today I pushed my body at the gym because I no longer feel physical limits. Today I am grateful for everyone who made this possible. Today I am smiling. Today I take my shirt off and spring hits my skin and I know that I have spent the last year more alive than ever before. Today nothing can get in my way. Today I am whole.

In a last minute twist, I scrapped my entire Personal Statement and just sent all these law schools a video of me lip-syncing "My Shot". Or I just listened to it while I finally clicked "Submit" like the kind of nerd who would be applying to law school. ...Or was it both?

This is how it feels to be 3 years on testosterone (as of yesterday). This year the changes were slower and harder to notice. This year I had to take a month off T when I had top surgery and it was hard and it was so worth it. This year it got easier to build muscle. This year my mood stabilized and the shots got easier but no less annoying. This year I got to take a picture shirtless with my arms above my head and not worry about my binder riding up or my hips looking too wide but to just love my body and love that I worked hard and it worked harder. #ftm #trans #ftmfitness #ftmtopsurgery #topsurgery #testosterone

“And it pains me to say I was wrong— Love is not a symptom of Time. Time is just a symptom of Love.” This year, I really did learn, in every single part of my life—career, personal, creative, physical— that I’m never going to suddenly be happy with something just because I’ve been doing it for so long. That I can’t grow contentment out of inertia. That love really isn’t a symptom of time. And it’s one of the hardest lessons I’ve ever had to learn, and this especially was a year where growing hurt physically and emotionally, but I am beyond grateful to have learned it now, and to know it fully to the center of my being. I got to see Newsom perform this song a few weeks ago in Brooklyn. A couple days later, as I was listening to the album while stressing about the mountain of Law School applications I’m working on, one of the lyrics happened to break through all the chaos in my head— Stand brave, Life-liver. And that’s what I fucking learned to do this year. To chase what I want. To take a risk for me. To be a life-liver. And that is what I intend to carry into the next year, and every year after that. And that is why I am grateful for every single thing that happened to me, and every single choice I made this year. They all got me right here. Less than twelve hours away from being 3 years on Testosterone. 9 months post-op from top surgery. A storyteller (sorta, but working on it!). A future lawyer. Caretaker of the dumbest and cutest dog alive. Happy every day. Unsure of everything that’s ahead, but confident that I will pick joy over ease. That I will trust love instead of time.

It's just a tree-getting, ornament-making, hot chocolate-sipping, Love Actually-watching type of Saturday. #yesisbeingmyanswer

Birthday typewriter came in the mail! Thanks dad! I think I started it off on the right note.

Meant to smile, remembered about pie.

Birthday Morning or What A Way To Turn 85.

Nearly 21 vs Nearly 25 or Old Adele vs New Adele or #tbt Birthday Week Edition or What A Difference 4 Years Makes

I don't mean to pun, but if this song doesn't ruin you a little, I'm afraid we just don't understand each other.

It's been long enough that I'm starting to forget that I had top surgery, in the sense that I'm forgetting that once, my body wasn't like this. But today, when I was rushing out the door, I threw on this crewneck sweatshirt by itself-- no undershirt, no binder-- and for the first time felt it against my skin. And I remembered. And again I felt lucky, and again I felt invincible. #ftm #trans #topsurgery
