Six-Month Update

[Brooklyn]

My body has changed significantly during the six months since I started HRT, but mainly I just love how I feel inside now. Getting to be myself every day is a wonderful feeling, and the person I am becoming makes me happy and proud. I’ve stepped away from the late-night scene, and instead of buying cocktail dresses and spending two hours on my makeup, I wear simple clothes and paint my mug in fifteen minutes. I can even wear a dress to church or around my kids now, although I avoid wearing things that make me feel uncomfortable, because then I become self-conscious and less confident. There have been challenges, for sure, but often I just stare in the mirror and smile that all this is really happening, finally!

Congratulations!! and wishes for continued success and happiness. I assure you it continues to get better, I just passed my one year mark and despite other issues I really enjoy life much more and look forward to each and every day. I also agree that the mental peace is priceless. You look fabulous!! Hugs.

Something you wrote reminded me of a really old country song...'A Satisfied Mind'...I had to look it up. It was a hit for Porter Wagonner in the mid 50s, but covered several times later. I thought, Ashely's got a satisfied mind. That's as good as it gets!
