Getting there slowly, but stronger and geez more femme every day. The boost to my oestrgen levels last week and quitting booze have had marked effects on my mood. I'm teary but it's cos I feel so in love with life at the moment. I planned to arrive at this moment and did.

I have so much to look forward to today and I'm grateful for everyone here for being here and sharing mine and your thoughts. So many kind and funny people in one place, this is the Melbourne we all know and love. The bits where we are not being tailgated down punt road or made to feel like pawns in a property investment scheme. People wonder why we love this place so much, it's because of the people not the cool shops and so called liveability.

Happy pride, both rainbow and city!!

Thanks so much. I might have lost my old melbourne comments but I'm thinking maybe it's the writing of them that's the good bit anyway.

<3 it's definitely the writing of them! The old melbourne reddit is back up, maybe your comments will be visible now to save them!

they are and I am hahah, Its nice to have them back but it's definitely the act of journaling which is the important part. it'sjust been quite a year

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yay :) Yeah it definitely is! I need to remind myself to keep journalling, even if it's a small sentence for each day haha.
