I've been losing weight and it just made them more obvious :3 You're probably OK.
Which reminds me: I got a "proper" bra at last. Compared with a sports bra where they tend to leak out the sides a bit, actual cups bring everything forward and make my chest look huge (still barely a US A-cup).
I came out to a friend this weekend. She was a house guest for a while and managed to be an amazing person the whole time! I had such a good weekend just existing as myself for a while that it was almost overwhelming. I was telling my spouse how I felt and that I was so happy, and I haven't felt this happy in so long. I just started crying from the joy.
I saw her in the mirror.
I brought her out to be seen.
I am her.
Honestly one of the harder weeks of my life that I can remember - having surgery and being admitted to the hospital for a week was an experience that was so much easier than I ever expected while also being so much harder than I ever expected.
I have a new sense of empathy for others who have had surgeries and are subjected to hospital stays.
I went to the dentist for the first time in like, a decade? Teeth are great somehow, my god the plaque build up tho. Best described as "chunky". Need to schedule more appointments with some other forms of medical professionals.
Take care of yourself! A little bit of maintenance can prevent a whole lot of suffering.
Pretty damn good actually, I got back from a few days in Rome with my friend on Friday, I was able to just hang out in a new place with my buddy and not think about The Horrors
Shit.
