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?

Hey Olivia 👋

I'm also 6months on HRT!💖💕

Things are going pretty well, my body is finally looking ok-ish!✨

I still have to find the confidence to stop boymoding, but I have to wait until laser hair removal is fully done on my beard, because I can't hide it with makeup sadly (pitch black hair)😠

Also I want my hair to be longer but it's curly and takes ages to grow, it's going to look good I feel! 🤩

Oh my god that's awesome! Also getting laser done on my face (4 or 5 sessions in? 🤔)

And my hair is also really curly and growing out! My stylist says curly and thick hair like mine tends to grow outward before down so getting it shaped often is important 🤷🏻‍♀️

Happy to send you a photo of my hairs journey thus far if you DM me 😁
