I'm a highly scent-oriented person so I was probably more sensitive to that change than most, but I didn't realize it was a contributing factor to my dysphoria until that very moment. It's not that I disliked my old scent, it just never smelled like "me", y'know?

Lmfao samee, I getcha. I had nothing against my skin before, but it was never comfy. I didn't even realize it because it was just normal, and when it felt worse it felt like it just needed a shower (where I incidentally rubbed my skin raw. Which I didn't even process as probably-not-great).

Mood. I lived with my dysphoria for so long that I didn't even realize how much of my "normal" was just depression until that first dose of E lifted the weight from my shoulders.

It is really weird to suddenly have emotions and to be like, affected by the world around you suddenly X)

Genuinely. Like; walking to the mailbox when a lost childhood memory resurfaces for no apparent reason and then I'm making smalltalk with the neighbor to distract myself from the bittersweet momemt that'd have me in tears otherwise

Life is so damn beautiful, y'all. There are the horrors, but there is also joy~<3
