Small Victories

I have so much dysphoria, and a lot of it is with my hair, cause it grows so fast and my family can't afford me getting a haircut any more than twice a year. So my sister cut my hair! And it doesn't suck! This is until I go out and actually get a haircut but it'll do and it makes me so happy!

 

On the other end of the spectrum than AkingOfMagic here, I got the courage to order a long hair wig, plucked the eyebrows a bit, and got a glimpse of future me in the bathroom mirror this morning. I do have potential Woot!

*AKindOfMagic* not AKingOfMagic .... HOW DO I MAKE THESE TYPOS ON THE PC where is no autocorrect?

 

Tomorrow is the big day!!!

 

I've decided my full name will be Brooke Victoria Lexa A(I'll give you the last initial lol). And yes, I got that from The 100, cause she's my favorite, I love the name, and I like the way it sounds.

 

Two Middle Names Twins! *high five*

Lovely name, Brooke.

 

Victoria is a good name. Means "victory."

 

I was with my friends talking about how I came out and they were grinning and saying, "look how far you've come from last year, you're so strong, and you look so masculine." and I was so happy.

Now that I've come out, I can talk about it freely with my mom, and so we went to Walmart and we were in the shampoo aisle and was all "oh I'm low on shampoo mom" and she immediately grabs a bottle Of Axe shampoo and goes, "is this fine?" without hesitation, as if it was so normal.
And then I asked if I could get a new button up because I only had one and then explained my dysphoria and she said, "yes, of course" and I went with her to pick out two shirts and almost started crying because of how happy and proud I was. It was a good day yesterday.

 

This post has made me so happy for you!! Well done! (*hug*)(!)(&&&)

 

Thank you! (*hug*) :eusa_danc :smilewave

 

That's awesome! I'm glad your mom is coming around :icon_bigg

 

Thanks, Jack!

 

I've got two middle names too; I'm Seth Hope Alexander!

I love your names Brooke!

 

Thanks guys! I really do love it. It's nice to actually have a name i LIKE for once, even if it's not legal yet.

 

I'm only gonna have one middle name, still unsure which it will be though, but I like the meanings of both my names.

Akari means Light in Japanes
and Zoe means Life

So it's like I chose life by following my light to a happier tomorrow with transitioning.

 

That's really cool! Names with meaning behind them are so interesting and I love your meaning!

 

Funny thing is that I chose Akari for it's meaning and connection to Digimon, Zoe was because of Fallout 4 and Digimon. I didn't know about it's meaning till last month, then I cam up with the choosing life thing because I like how it sounds ^.^

in Fallout 4 the robot couldn't say Akari, but could say Zoe, and I liked the sound of the name, so that's how fallout 4 influenced that choice.

 

Got my HRT letter......or rather will when my councilor emails it to me.

 

Congrats Brooke ^.^ Here's hoping I get mine when the time comes.

I think it finally hit that I may be able to transition with HRT in a couple months. I felt my heart flutter at the thought, I can hardly wait for that time to come. I feel like I need to cry from happiness, I don't know if I ever truly cried happy tears before. are the sensations supposed to feel so similar to sad crying, but with a smile?

 

Thank you!

That's how it is for me at least. Almost like sad crying except you're smiling and feel happy not sad.
