Tomorrow is the day

Hey, Alex here. 
Tomorrow is the day... unless it snows or an apocalypse spontaneously appears. Hehe
Anyways, if you have been following my mother's blog, you'd know that tomorrow is the day I get my first shot of testosterone. 

What I'm feeling is unreal... And the majority of readers who follow this blog will understand what I say WHEN I say... it's like having a baby.  (insert nervous laughter)  It's scary but exciting at the same time. 

I can remember what brought me to the idea of HRT. 
One night I was lying in bed browsing youtube, and decided to search transgender (I knew I was trans* at the time but I have this weird thing where I want to know I'm not alone)
What comes up is this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epDPui27QZQ 
It's about a MTF girl named Josie. She is 9 years old! 
A little later on in the video, Josie goes to the endocrinologist/ nurse practitioner. And they ask about hormones. The doctor decides to put Josie on "blockers". This is the first I've ever heard of the term. So after the video I researched all night about HRT and blockers.
I remember being so envious of Josie, and thinking to myself "Why couldn't have I found out sooner?"
I've come to the realization that EVERYBODY'S journey is different and beautiful in their own way. Some take longer than other's and that's okay. <3

I've decided to make videos to track progress of my voice, facial hair, etc. 
I will start these videos tomorrow my appointment. :)

I think this was back in 2010?  It's crazy to see how much I've changed. Haha

Anyways mom always posts a video of my favorite song of the week. 
This week it's Everyday by Buddy Holly. Hope you enjoy. :D
 
Have a good day everyone, thanks for following. <3
