Sometimes I wonder: a lot of my life has been about choosing the harder path, always picking the thing that won't be easy and needs a lot of work and concentration. These days I ask myself how much of that was about trying to avoid accepting or even thinking about being trans. Not doing the hardest project makes everything else look easy, just like a distraction, even fun, no matter how hard.
There were a lot of good results from all these choices, but I wonder how my life would have been if I had accepted myself earlier (or even been born a cis girl): easier, harder, what choices I would have made.
But the result is good, now, this person I am.

@Eve this is also why I believe positive (even 'unrealistically' positive) portrayals of trans people in media is important-- I had none, growing up, and it wasn't until I saw trans people in my adult life, living and being happy, that I even considered that was even possible for me in any real sense. I could have started incorporating these thoughts into my growth so much earlier!
