On August 20, 2023, I posted my first picture on IG publicly in the gender I identify with. Two years later, so much has changed, and I could never fully describe everything I’ve felt.

During this time:

• I found beautiful communities that accepted me without question.

• I stopped having panic attacks when shopping for clothes, wearing them, or even looking in the mirror.

• I went out in dresses and outfits that genuinely make me feel pretty.

• I had to learn (and I’m still learning) how to do my makeup and hair.

• I celebrated the best birthday of my life with my chosen family, surrounded by love and indescribable acceptance.

• I faced transphobia among friends (some are no longer in my life).

• My relationship with my father ended after he saw me embrace my identity.

• I began hormone therapy and live its effects every day.

• I stopped fearing mirrors.

• I’ve posted more photos in these two years than I had in my entire life.

• I was able to smile genuinely in my pictures.

• I created a home where I feel safe and free to be myself.

• I went out at night to dance and listen to music, and people treated and cared for me as the woman I am.

• I lived the euphoria of hearing my pronouns respected for more than just a day.

• For the first time, I felt truly seen and started living a truth I never thought possible.

My life hasn’t gotten easier—if anything, it’s more complex in many ways. But knowing how I felt two years ago compared to how I feel now is something I can never fully put into words. I’d do it all over again, only much earlier, if I had the chance.

Hey everyone! 💝

I just wanted to take a moment to share that I'm not here to sell, buy anything, or ask for favors.

I'm on a journey to express myself freely and connect with others who feel the same way.

While I completely respect those who make a living from buying and selling content, that’s not my goal. I want to create a warm and welcoming space for myself and anyone on a similar path.

Even when I receive negative comments, I focus on the positives. Here’s a random selfie because, why not? This is my own space. 💞

Thanks for being here and for your encouraging words and compliments! 🩷✨️

I went to a tango concert. I watched Argentinian dancers pour themselves into the music. I had pasta on a dinner date. Simple things. But they felt like mine.

I wasn’t performing. I wasn’t shrinking. I was quiet. Still. Alive in it all. And that was everything.

Sunday afternoon ☕️

I had a cold matcha on a very sunny day.

I totally love cozy places and having good conversations.

Good lord, whatever Ino did after the war, I want to do the same 😍

The eternal dilemma: I don't know if I want to date her, become her, or possibly both.

Friends, wine, Argentinian cuisine, and a soundtrack featuring Taylor Swift and My Chemical Romance.

I don't know what will happen next, but I'm grateful to enjoy the little moments of my life and this part of my transition.

Please tell the 17-year-old me that everything will get better one day.

She will feel an almost overwhelming sense of freedom and happiness like she has never felt before. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

I needed this today...

In the words of Honorary Doctor Swift: “We are led by our gut instincts, our intuitions, our desires and fears, our scars and our dreams. And you will screw it up sometimes. So will I… We will recover. We will learn from it. We will grow more resilient because of it.”

I’m rebuilding a version of myself after years of being made to feel like I was too much, too intense, or simply wrong.

Everything is changing — my body, my voice, my boundaries, the way I process grief, my friendships, connections, and what I seek and understand as love.

I’m learning to inhabit my body as if it truly belongs to me, not something foreign or borrowed.

I’m still here, against all odds.

I’m still trying.

I’m still me.
