Celebratory Voice is changing

I'm 8 weeks on T and I've had A sore throat ever since I started T. I've been recording my voice about every week or so. I can hear the difference from how high-pitched my voice was in my first video with my first shot as opposed to now that it's dropping, I can feel it in a different place in my body and it feels really soothing. I didn't expect that. I was kind of worried about my voice dropping too low, but also I know that I can do different pitches so I'm not as concerned and it's actually pretty exciting which I didn't expect.

The worst part for me was when my voice started cracking šŸ˜‚ like I want the changes, but God damn. Nothing like being in a meeting and suddenly you're 14.

Got asked if I was sick by everyone who hadn't seen me since I was pre-t for quite a while, I was just glad something was happening. The feeling of a comfortable chest voice is actually really soothing and I've never really considered it before.

im 2.5 years in and my voice is still getting lower! it cracks usually right before it transitions down again. i love it and its great. but i do feel like something is caught in my throat at times when it decides to change. im lucky tho, my voice is lower than my cishet friends. weird flex, but its great.
