Being yourself is something that hurts incredibly when you can't have it. But like many other things in life, when you reach a goal, from that point onward it becomes part of your routine. Being yourself is no longer something extraordinary. What is extraordinary, though, is that you made it there, and that's awesome!
I still think about this, years later. It makes me try to appreciate it every day. It's still easy at my stage. I'm in the worst state for trans people by far from a legal standpoint, I've lost jobs, I've even lost my medication for months at a time 5 times. Family wants me dead, had to move. But in those times things settle for a moment, I can feel the pill going from exciting to routine. The struggles going from new to mundane. No longer looking for exciting changes when I see a mirror. But I think back to this from time to time, and try to remember how far I've come.
