Got to see my mother interact with a trans individual while out shopping and running errands, and am reminded that she is a gem of a human being (complimented their nails and had a nice little chat), so that's a decent chunk of anxiety relieved about (eventually) coming out as trans.
Finished shaving the remainder of my body (minus back, that's proving tricky) and loving how smooth I feel and how much better lotion/moisturizer applies to my skin, feeling much softer. Def want to look into more permanent solutions (laser for thighs/legs, probably electrolysis for the bits) for my lower half. it just grows back too damn fast and the stubble stings a bit when I shower.
Realized the other day I had the perfect opportunity to try ditching the beard for a while and I missed it (mustache growing challenge thing), but not too concerned over it as I'm very used to it on my face at this point.
