From Sean to Brooke - 6 months HRT

This is My Story from age 19 to 26 of my transition and some parts from my life. I hope this helps and inspires others completing HRT but are scared to transition. HRT has saved my life and it has been the best decision I have ever made.

Ohmygodohmygodohmygod. Circa Survive music in the intro made me so happy. <3 This video and you are amazing.

@shinslighter WOOT someone who appreciates the awesomeness of this band and Anthony Green! You made me so happy as well. This song I have listened to for many years. I felt the lyrics literally, because it described my feelings of myself my entire life. With societal expectations always pushing on me to be this "Man" that "I was suppose to be", this song would be one of the only things that released all my anxiety n inner hatred that I didn't go against the grain n change my body.

@seensol Lol. Well, I didn't mean it was that easy, I just mean if you can do at least 2 things at the same time you SHOULD eventually be able to play drums. Yes, you kinda do have to be born with it, but, then, I remind myself of Mickey Dolenz who didn't know anything about drumming until he got the part in, "The Monkees". He learned well!

I have 3 basses & I'm still trying to learn them. I'd like to get a Chapman Stick some day, too, but I'll bet that's going to be MUCH harder to learn.

@RedVynil Lol only if it was that easy I could do it >.< It is something a person is born with I believe. Give me a bass and I am golden :D

@Eshanty Yes, one of your biggest limitations is yourself. But I know what you're going through, I have many life variables I have to plow through before I can do it.

@seensol Thanks LOADS!! I saw the JT song title posted.

I've been drumming all my life, was in a band for 25 years. Dare I say, after I tried to teach my future ex-fiance to play drums in the late `90's & she failed miserably, it came to me that you just have to have it in you to be able to play, it's not something you can just pick up. I don't mean you have to know about drumming, I mean you have to be mentally able to play. Like, if you can rub your belly & pat your head at the same time.

@RedVynil Circa Survive - The Difference Between Medicine and Poison is the Dose is the first song and The Juliana Theory - We're on Top of The World is the second song. I feel what your saying, but as a musician that is unable too keep a beat when playing the drums I can't say I have really thought about the bass drum before lol. Now on Ableton Live or Logic etc I can break it down on the drum haha :D

@seensol You're quite welcome! But it's true, this kind of stuff IS helpful to those who have yet to go through it.

By the way, who/what is that song at the beginning? GREAT drum beat! I know you have nothing to do with it, but just a comment, the bass drum is just a bit too wet sounding for my taste. Obversely, the bass drum on the 2nd song sounds a bit too damped. I keep mine damped, but not quite so much. I try to go for a more natural sound.

Anyway, YES!! Peace, love, free America!!!!

@RedVynil Technically you are the first to really say that which is so awesome!!! To know you have checked out my sites as well is great. I have tons of stuff to add to my website, but I have to pay for the my account before I can....ugh free websites have limits lol. Thank you so much for your support, it is people like you that make what I do so much more fulfilling!!! Peace, Love, Free America.

@Eshanty Fear is the mind killer, let it pass through you, for it does not control you. With hope for the future, you can gain the courage needed to overcome all the things you fear. Most of all, Believe in Yourself (inner faith) and it will become your foundation in life! I am so thankful I can inspire others, as aspire to do so, while making a positive change in the world be it small or big! Best Wishes :D
