i just want to say thank you to the people who've reached out to me to congratulate me on my top surgery. i know the healing process will be a long one, as there was complications with my operation due to my being severely underweight (i'm working on it!) but still, i'm happy and i feel like a giant weight has been lifted off my chest; -both actually and metaphorically. all my sleepless nights wishing that i could crawl out of my own skin and tear it off inch by inch... i can viably let that go now, and i no longer need to hate myself the way i always have. of course, i still have a long way to go, and my phalloplasty (bottom surgery) is scheduled for january of 2020, which gives me time to heal up and rest before jumping into anything more.
right now, i feel free. i feel so incredibly thankful to be surrounded by my loving and fully supportive family, as well as my amazing friends both on and offline. being trans has always felt like the biggest burden in my life, as it's held me back from being my true self on the outside, -but with my continued hormone therapy and eventual bottom surgery, i know that i'll be able to achieve the body i've always longed for within the next few years.
most importantly though, thank you to chloe ( @PEACHYJEONGIN ) who was there to video chat with myself and my mother on my ride home from the hospital. you made everything so much easier, and you really took my mind off the fact that i'd just gotten shit torn off my chest. i love you bunches, bunny!❤
