~~~ Summer Update! Life News

Hiiiii
Hey guys, here's an itemized list of what I've been up to!
-Currently working, back in school to finish my IT degree
-TRYING to do more music stuff. I now only make announcements when my work is 80% finished
-I'm transgender! It's been an issue I've been struggling with for a long time, but I've decided to go ahead and change my gender. It's honestly a hugely innocuous topic.
This is relevant to you guys because, when I came out to myself in Summer 2015, my life pretty much morphed into total fucking chaos. Music came to a halt, I lost my job due to being laid off, I lost my drive and sense of purpose, my self esteem crashed and burned, I was at the edge of suicide. It sucked.
-BUT THINGS ARE LOOKING UP. MY LIFE IS SOOO MUCH BETTER, I'VE MOVED TO A NEW HOME, I'M STARTING HRT, I'VE DONE TONS OF THERAPY, I'VE COME TO ACCEPT MYSELF FOR WHO AND WHAT I AM DESPITE HOW SOCIETY/PEOPLE FEEL ABOUT ME. I've come a long way, and I'm much happier person now. I have a long way to go, though, but I've never been in a better place in my life.
Thank you all for your support. Thank you all for having stuck around and listened to my stuff.

I'm glad you can accept yourself. I know it must be hard to come to a realization like that, but it's good that you can be who you are. Here's to a bright future and a true you!

It took way longer to accept this than I wanted to, but it feels like it's been worth it, in the end. Thank you so much!

If it's not too personal a question, which way are you? I can't seem to find anything on your profile that would indicate one or the other. Maybe I'm just blind though.

mtf. I was pretty careful about concealing my gender/info about me on here in the past

Makes sense, given what you were going through. Your icon is even fairly androgynous. Once again, I hope things go well for you! I know this isn't an easy thing to discover about yourself.
