“we have to live bravely in order to truly feel alive, and that means not being ruled by our greatest fears.”

happy bisexual+ awareness week!

the past couple years have been quite the journey as far as coming to terms with my sexuality. last summer i traveled quite a bit and every time i came home my anxiety would heighten and i would just feel so uncomfortable in my own skin and i really struggled with figuring out why. i eventually realized that it was because i knew that who i was wasn’t accepted and i was hiding a part of myself not only from the world but from myself as well, and when i accepted my sexuality and found the courage to come out, that anxiety subsided greatly. while i will admit that i do still struggle with accepting myself, i’m working on it and i have come a very long way in the past year, and i owe a lot of that to this fandom. this fandom and taylor have given me a place where i feel accepted, and comfortable, and welcomed enough to be myself freely; and for that i will be forever grateful.

step into the daylight, and let it go @swiftiesofcolor

and you can want who you want....

First day of life up until 6th grade 

Jumped all the way to Freshman year of High School

Then I cut my hair Junior year, why did I do that

Slowly it started growing back and then….

I finally felt comfortable to express myself (the picture on the left was my debut)

At this point in my transition I am 6 months into HRT

A year on HRT

2 years since my coming out 

2 years on hrt

2.3 years on hrt

At this point I am 3 years into my Hormone Replacement Therapy. I’m thriving. 

These pictures were taken days apart and I am 3 and a half years into my medical transition (The picture on the right was also posted by Instagram on all their major social media handles attached with an interview I did with them for International Women’s Month)

During this time I was 4 years into HRT. Clearly living for it.

me, still scrolling: oh god she’s so pretty
