So, let’s keep it simple to start.

How have you been? Where are you in your journey?

I’ve been on an emotional rollercoaster of sorts for a while but we won’t get into that.

I’ve just hit 6mo on HRT and last week I learned…

drumroll please

I finally love myself! Something that has taken me 30 years to learn to do. And that final piece of the puzzle was to embrace myself as Olivia ❤️

So, how have you been? What’s on your mind?

    I know I’m a bit late to this post but I’ve been doing really well transition wise. Last month I got to 1 year on HRT so that was very hype. Also started prog about 2 months back and its sedative effects have been very useful, as I usually have a hard time falling asleep.

    Personally though, I’ve been very stressed out with college and I haven’t had any luck finding a comp sci internship, but I’m still hopeful I will get something eventually. 😅

    Also the feeling of finally loving yourself and caring about the body you’re in is amazing. HRT is a wonder drug

        Yeah I’ve heard a lot of people are having trouble with it rn so I don’t feel too bad about myself. I’ve been making a bunch of projects to put on my portfolio so hopefully that will help.

        I’m thinking the reason why is that a lot of tech companies have been laying off a bunch of people recently. This means it’s going to be difficult to find an internship until those companies start experiencing loses from having skeleton crews, and then they’ll start hiring a bunch of people back on (which they will layoff again eventually). The tech industry just tends to be annoying like that.
