Honest morning photo

Hey, today I'm feeling a bit at peace and I'm trying to love myself. When I see all the cuties, I'm happy to see you shine and glow. (I wish we could see more representation for trans men).

It's harder to love myself and I'm trying. Wishing you a good morning and I hope that you feel better in your bodies day by day.

At least I can say that I like my legs, haven't shaved them since last July 18th there but hormones and hair removal worked quite well. (I can't believe I've let that much time here without shaving)

Anyway I liked the honest selfies, the one where we don't try so hard. So I'll bring mine.

I still have a little bit of make up around the eyes after a messy cleanup yesterday 😅 (was tired). But I tend to be like that most of the time so it reflects me quite well.

Your smile’s not big, broad, and contrived. It’s small, soulful, and real.

It's a very comforting smile for reasons I was unable to articulate, but I think you're spot on with the understated realness of it.

Shirow! So nice to see you. You're beautiful.

Im defintely still struggling to see the woman in the mirror if I'm not made up, hair done, dressed up etc. Hrt is starting to change that now I think.

I get that, I get that a lot. When I'm dressed up and have make up, I definitely see it more for myself. I automatically act more feminine in mannerism and the way I talk (I'm not even doing that on purpose).

But without, I see the changes in me, the more androgynous face / body that I have now. But I don't see myself as woman, nor the old self (thank you brainworms). It's a weird zone one of discomfort, one when if I'm feeling down, It amplifies dysphoria.

love the morning photos, it takes a lot to see yourself at that time of day. i still gotta shave my face before I get that feeling most days, but its really great when I do break through and get it right out of bed!

keep smiling you look lovely
