DAY ONE

8:30 a.m.

My personal roommate’s door is ajar, which means that she must’ve slept at her sweetheart’s. Of many evenings I’m able to hear all of them having sex therefore wakes me personally up because all of our wall space are half an inch heavy along with her room is officially my dresser. It reminds me of how solitary and alone i am in my own bed room.

9 a.m.

Get my personal the hormone estrogen. It’s been nine months now. Four since I have’ve evolved breast tissue. A little under three since I have to shave 1 / 2 as frequently, two since my penis doesn’t get very because difficult. The last few weeks I’ve been sobbing like a madwoman. My 2nd adolescence. My own body is changing such today,


it’s difficult to not feel by yourself.

11 a.m.

Class finished the other day, and I also should really be making preparations for finals, but i cannot exert the power. We text my buddy H if she would like to make dinner with each other. We ask if we will make that miso soups she created for me last week.

4 p.m.

I like visiting the food store. I buy tangerines because they lead to an intimate, quick, agreeable image. I am building a taste for straightforward joys that remind me personally there can be an existence beyond queer anxiety and overwhelm.

8 p.m.

H and I also sit on my back deck and drink miso out of the container we prepared it in. Broth drips off our very own spoons on the lawn and that I remind myself to be pleased. Since I started hormones i have been attempting to keep a running list of things heading really that I do not desire to alter, like discussing soups and spilling it.

H requires how I’m doing. We start writing on my ex, G.

We dumped him NEARLY AN ENTIRE FUCKING SEASON AGO. We nonetheless romanticize him. He’s pretty and cis and is also distinctly gay, perhaps not queer. We inform H I however believe we can get back together, but the guy refuses to see me personally.

We tell H he will not chat because he’s still harmed, We imagine, considering the way it all finished. We broke up with him in a cafe or restaurant restroom after the guy would not have a threesome together with the maître d’, who questioned all of us in the future house or apartment with him once I bummed a cigarette. I needed an adventure — to watch a stranger bang him facing myself — but the guy mentioned no. Therefore I informed him he was anchoring me-too difficult and kept him.

The things I you should not tell H would be that each week ahead of the restroom event, I informed him i needed to purchase women’s underwear and then he said howevern’t that way. He in fact stated “ew.” It played completely like a casual moment he most likely forgot, but i did not. We began bodily hormones 90 days later on. Thinking about that renders me personally weep.

10 p.m.

Over the years, H hesitantly tells me G is starting up with my ex, A, exactly who I dated before G and dumped me whenever I got as well invested. Each of us visit college with each other, so H understands all of them, as well.
