So, this has been a few years for me. A lot has gone on for me, and frankly for everyone. But after my most recent commission from 
Strawberryneko, I realized she'd captured each year perfectly.
2019
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/35950314/
2019 was when I got back on stage as a performer, as the greeter and opening act for The Eccentric Expedition, a scifi variety show. I was afraid of being on stage for a long time, so I took any other job I could find within theatre. This year, I got a chance to perform, and perform as the panda, and it was -GREAT-. I had a lot of fun, and people reacted positively. I had already made plans to continue with The Expedition, as it found a new theatre, and was actively looking up physical theatre classes, and had commissioned new costumes for Lei Lei.

March 14, I was told by my job that because of my 90 minute commute, I was going to be working from home to prevent the risk of my catching COVID and spreading it to the office. Within a month, my boss was furloughed as well. I was trapped at home, my responsibilities had tripled, and outside my house there were mass demonstrations, police violence, and it felt like every dream I was living for was gone. The depression and anxiety was deep, and I felt like all the joy and magic I'd worked for was gone forever. Because I didn't want to hurt myself, or break my spouse's heart, I turned to therapy.

I'm still at home. But therapy let me talk about transition, and helped me into group therapy for people dealing with the same things. Now I medicate, I exercise, and I have therapy twice a week. Sometime in summer, I'll start HRT. I started a storytelling show on my discord, so I'm performing once a week, telling the fairytales, short stories, and original fiction I love. Going through this process has put my spouse on the gender journey as well. Right now, the sun is shining, it's brisk and lovely, and no matter what happens next, I'm doing better than I thought. I still might not be Lei Lei for a while, but I'm more Rowan than I've ever been.
strawberryneko caught it all perfectly. I'm looking forward to the next years.
