I mean it’s the same as realizing you aren’t a kid anymore, you are simply entering another phase of your life, it’s ok to mourn the past but if you spend all your time there, you won’t have a fulfilling present. Have confidence in yourself and the work you put in to get here, and keep going ❤️

Feeling similarly (I’m nb/ftm), so I feel like this is kind of normal for some people (can’t speak for everyone)

You’re just you but more comfortable in your skin. None of your hobbies and interests need to disappear.
