It’s been a rough few days on my college campus and in my life in general, and as a result I’m really not in a state to post selfies. These past three days have been a roller coaster of emotions, from the news I received yesterday that I might be able to get T covered by insurance, to the emotional tensions rocking my campus at the moment, I’m not really sure how what to think.
Going to college has been a beautiful, difficult, and eye-opening experience for me. It’s taught me so many things about myself that I don’t know if I’m remotely the same person I was before I got here in August. It’s taught me that sometimes there will be struggles I feel I can’t come back from, but if I continue to live honestly there will always be people ready to accept me. Never before in my life have I had so many people so regularly use my pronouns, and never before have I seen so many people so genuinely excited for me at the prospect of HRT. I’m still learning, but I’m growing, and that’s what matters.
Happy TDOV 2016. May your journey towards understanding be as fulfilling as possible.
