Getting hit with a lot of emotions. Some scary and some exciting.

My wife is being really supportive and we've been talking through all of this the past couple days nonstop.

Part of me is ready to shave everything and start HRT and feel pretty, but I'm also fucking terrified about how my world will react. It's also only been a few days but I feel like a whole new world has been opened up to me?

I don't know. I want to everyone and nobody so I thought I'd scream into the void here. Hope that is ok.

I'm so fucking empowered by all of you

Thank you! I'm definitely trying to keep from getting ahead of myself. I'm wanting to make small changes and just try and enjoy my exploration. It's been less than a week since I started my self acceptance journey, but I already feel so much lighter and happier. I'm starting to actually like myself for the first time in my life. Just by embracing all of this.

It can be overwhelming at times though. Especially when I'm tired. It almost feels like I'm crawling back into my shell because it's "comfortable". Not sure if that makes sense but something I've started to notice.
