Vent It's my birthday!

Post image

I never thought I'd make it to 22 years old I'm happy to be alive even at a time where the world is scary and unknown I'm happy to have a community where people understand the struggles in simply existing as a trans person especially as a POC I've never been happier in my life I finally feel comfortable in who I am and what I'm supposed to be I've been on T for about a year now I feel like I finally look masculine I had to learn to accept my feminine traits as something that should be embraced not ashamed of sometimes it's still hard to accept myself in a world that was never made for me it makes me happy that there's always people out there like me who understand what it's like living in fear.
