Facebook reminded me 5 years ago that was me on the left. I was in my first year of college, I was in my second or third year living completely on my own, I faced so many financial hardships and battles in my life, I was in a horrible mental state that many didn't know, and I barely ate because I couldn't afford to do so. And the right is me today. I am so different than the person on the left, though I still face some of the same battles I'm stronger and wiser than I was back than, I choose what battles consume me more wisely. I am in a way better financial state, and overall place in life. I've surrounded myself with positive people and people who care to be in my life. I've built a home and a future for myself. And I'm doing my best to send positive messages and help others where I can. It's great to make progress with and on yourself. But you can never forget who and where you came from. That acceptance and humbleness will carry you further. . . #rememberwhereyoucamefrom #rememberwhyyouredoingthis #fiveyears #fromboytoman #findingmyself #transguy #transandinked #trans #transformationtuesday #lgbtq
