March 1st - My 'Second' Birthday

11/9/2015

March
My 'second' birth month. My rebirth month.
I began estrogen and my eyes opened to the world. The clouds shifted and the sun came out. Suddenly I could laugh, I could cry...
I could FEEL.

I could never see anything but grey in the world. That's all I could see and thus all I knew!
I suddenly found a vibrancy in the world... Colours!
A reason not to just stop.

But who/what am I? Who/What could I be?

I love this piece it is so very you. It has been wonderful watching you bloom.
I think second birthdays should totally become a thing in the community. It's always nice to have a reason to gather the tribe and celebrate.

I celebrated by 25th birthday as my first birthday post transition, but I haven't really attached much significance to the date that I started taking hormones.

I was like: okay, today's the day (pops pills nonchalantly).

Likewise for me Joslyn (except it was my 26th lol).

I haven't yet started the hormones - I am not sure whether the date will be "marked" yet or not.
