There & Back

What an amazing journey!  If you’ve been a follower of my blog before the long hiatus, you watched a tomboy bloom into womanhood.  Things seemed to be going great, and then COVID shut us all down.  People spent a lot of time alone with their thoughts and got to know themselves better.  I got to know myself better, and realized that a lot of this new “womanhood” was performative.  Sure, it made me happy, but it wasn’t me.

In July 2020, shortly after I stopped blogging, I sat down for my first telehealth appointment.  Not because I was sick, but because I was ready.  Ready to be me.  I explained the issues I’d been having, eventually breaking down in tears as I opened up to the doctor about some things I had done to cope in private.  After that, I began a new chapter in my life.  On July 11th, I started testosterone injections.

I’ve left this blog untouched since then, unsure what to do with it.  Most of the posts have been great resources, so I wanted them to still be available.  I feel like I’ve had a good 5 years to figure things out and it’s time to kick the dust off so you can join me.
