For me it was less metaphysical and more just a huge sense of relief from the war inside my brain ending.

I was standing up to my fear, and committing to keep standing.

After all, my biggest fear was of having my hopes shattered on the ground at my feet, to start transitioning and not be able to finish. When I realized things would be even worse if I did nothing, my fears were lifted.
