My best friend in class left, and that actually messed with me a lot more than I thought it would, she was escaping a potentially unsafe situation so I had to be understanding, but she was a great motivator to study and a kind ear for my day to day chats.
And then on top of that I've had ridiculous fatigue issues again so I probably need to go and get some blood removed. That usually helps.
But I have hung in there, I'm half way through, and we start our first placement soon. I still don't know where mine will be, but it's exciting.
In other news, I asked a girl out, she didn't say yes but she said no in the nicest way possible. And it was actually huge for me to be that vulnerable again, it had been years.
Sometimes we just need to take leaps of faith and forget all the hurt.
I might submit some writing to a contest. There's a decent prize, and it'd help me so much.
What else, hormones and meds are nice and stable, I have some breast growth again which is nice.
I also spoke with a psychiatrist recently to get approval for surgery, during that interview she told me I could actually get breast augmentation for free through the nearby hospital so I am now on the waiting list for that. She is also going to give me letters to update my gender marker on my birth certificate and to give to surgeons overseas for my face and genital surgeries.
Things are moving ahead, and I need to remind myself of all of this on the days where I feel stuck and aimless.
So there you have it, the key things that happened in my life for the past six months really.
Lots of love,
Abigail
