Perspective

Well, after doing math for the past few hours and chatting with an old friend I'm feeling a good bit better. Thinking about what's happened, how I've felt, and looking back on things I wrote here pre-hrt I realize that as low as I've been and as hurt as I've been from all the transphobia, homophobia, and misogyny that all these things are what it took to get me back down to where I used to be most of the time without my hormones.

I'm not beating myself up over how I've handled it or the fact that I'm going on leave - it's just some perspective on the fact that, really, I've been through worse and I'll be okay.
