I've started taking pictures of myself every month to track my progress, every end of the month i take a new picture. I started back in november so i use a pic from september as my starting point. It makes me so much happier because i can see the clear differences between the months. Sometimes i revisit old conversations from november to see my old self and how ive changted behaviourally and mentally between then and now.

For example, behaviourally, i used to hate the idea of being a parent. I don't get along with kids as is and because i'm impatient i would've been an unwilling mother. But.. now i foster several transgirls, taking care of them long-distance and i have one girl that i'm able to help with their hrt journey in real life now. To me, now, there isn't a greater joy than watching my girls bud and bloom like flowers. After all, looking at a plant is pretty but watering it, taking care of it, etc. and being rewarded with a beautiful blossom is worth so much more. And with transgirls, to me, its the most rewarding feeling to me - seeing them blossom in real time when knowing you are one of the people that was blessed with a seedling that grew into something so elegant and magnificent feels magical
