So I've been using it to put myself out there, while showing myself how far I've come. I changed out like one image, and gave each pic context. Progress: 2013-Present 1. Spring 2013 - Oldest pic I could find. ~28 yrs old. Newly married! 2. Summer 2018? Maybe 2019, can't remember which one that was - NYC Pride. Long-since open about being pan. 3. Fall 2022 - Newly clean and sober for a few months, egg cracking, but still didn't get it at all yet. 4. Summer 2024 - NOFX last show in Brooklyn. Out as female for a little over 1 year (I went through a lot of non backed up phones on and off, never been much for social media, hence gaps). At that point was on HRT for ~4 months. 5. Fall 2024, felt like a ton of progress really quick. I run on the right chemicals now and it shows and I feel it. 6. Winter 2024 - I've started doing makeup once in a great while, just eyes and cheeks, lip gloss. I see me so much more often in the mirror! 7. Spring 2025 - Trying my own makeup with matching outfit like a big kid, and it worked! lol 8. Present. *I did post this on another platform. But not one I use anymore. This is my own original content.
