Thanks for your help! I'll try it out.

Which one will look the least like makeup?
Do you have a specific product that you can recommend that I can find at someplace like Walmart? My eyebrows are blonde
Literally me
I'm still struggling with "oh shit. My body's actually changing. This is for real now." On one hand, it's a welcome change and it's not coming fast enough, but on the other I worry about future health problems and the life I could have had if I would just stop being trans. Change is hard no matter how welcome it is. I'm gonna keep going because it feels right. I feel so much better with T than without.
Also, I had a dream that I was going bald last night. It was kinda funny in retrospect.
Yay, congrats on scheduling the Lyft and flight :D That's a HUGE first step that you just took.
I know it's not hard to let anxiety and all of the bad "what-ifs" shape your perception of the future. The unknown is really scary sometimes. But like...what if things turned out okay? If you think of your worst case scenarios, and then your best case ones, it usually ends up being something in the middle. That's a good place to set your expectations. It's very likely that it will at least be better than the situation you're in now. You'll get to meet other queer people! You won't have your parents controlling your life and manipulating you.
Ultimately, you're not gonna know how it'll turn out unless you take the plunge and do it. Things may not always go according to plan, but you'll adapt and figure things out as you go along. If it doesn't work out, then at least you tried and did what you could instead of wondering about what could have been for the rest of your life.
P.s. when you get the chance to go by a store, get some vitamin D tablets. You're likely very deficient in it since you've been cooped up. Low vitamin D can cause things like depression to worsen and get out of hand. Also helps with bone health. Might help with feeling a little better.
That quote goes so hard
Keris,
Make sure you extract some cash from your bank account. It is always best practice to carry some cash in case anything happens with your debit card. $50-100 is a good amount to carry, just put it in a place where you won't lose it (like inside of your phone case).
It wouldn't be a bad idea to go ahead and contact some of the organizations in the resource doc and explain when you'll arrive and what you need.
Also for groceries, there are these little cart things that you can buy which look like a combination of a laundry basket and a suitcase but they're made specifically to carry groceries and stuff. You might could use one of those roller plastic laundry baskets in a pinch. Might could find one off Amazon or something when you get there. Maybe Walmart or target. A nice-ish one will work well.
Remember to roll up your clothes instead of fold them in your suitcase. It saves room. Some airports have luggage carts that you can use to transport your luggage. Keep your most important things (toiletries, meds, chargers, etc) in your carry on as opposed to your checked bag, because they can get lost or delayed occasionally.
Btw, thanks for the update. I'm willing to hop on a voice call later. Ask Zorsith if they want to join too. We can all play Minecraft or something.
Yup, I mainly date queer people too. I pretty much only go for bi or pan women at this point. There's just an additional element of comfort that dating queer people provides.
Keris does have PayPal. That's very generous of you. I'll ask them about their details real quick.
