(First off this is a MtF related rant\question but would love feedback from our FtM brothers as well 🏳️‍⚧️)

So we all have them, we all just want our bodies to match our heart and souls. I'm looking back now and having second thoughts about what I made my first priority after starting HRT. I felt I <I>needed</I> my breasts, like nothing else really mattered nowhere near as much to me as just finally being full-chested like all the other women in my family like I should have already been. I worked hard, saved up, let my hrt take me as far as I could before I could be able to have the size I desired which was large (36DD currently) compared to most women my body size but yet the smallest amongst my fellow female family members.

Fast forward to today roughly 4 years later, im still paying them off and struggling just keeping my roof over my head and bills paid. I have been feeling very down lately that I did not prioritize laser hair removal and electrolysis first. I have to shave 2x a day and go through razors and shave oil so quickly that it's about a $40 a month bill on its own. I'm not the type of girl that wants to cake makeup on my face everyday as I've always believed in a woman's natural beauty and actually prefer the way I look and feel without 2.8lbs of concealer on everyday 😑

I guess what I'm getting at is what was once a priority to me is, not necessarily a regret because I'm very happy with my breasts, but I loathe my facial hair follicles 😭

Are there any other transfamily here that have learned what was once a priority early transition is not the direction they should have gone if future you could talk to past you?
