The infinite amount of information and content available on the internet, a significant increase of social comparison at any given moment of the day, and the perceived notion that many other people are living their best lives has made us feel like our lives aren’t enough, or that we are not doing enough at any given moment.

My ever-continuing journey as a transgender woman has not followed the commonly understood narrative of many trans people who usually know from a young age that their gender is different to their sex assigned at birth.

Understanding the value and meaning of new experiences, learning new skills, spending time reflecting, and enjoying meaningful moments and conversations with like-minded friends are some of the aspects of life that have helped me to realise what’s genuinely important and meaningful.
