I love you. It's going to be okay. You're going to be okay. Put one foot in front of the other. Breathe. I'll stay. I'll wait for you. We're all waiting for you. You're not alone. It's not your fault. Hang on, bb. 🫂🥀🐀
sobbing while horizontal
nostrils plugged
bubble sounds and gasping

I just keep telling myself there's a ER next door and nobody will judge you and you won't be trapped with people who are hurting you like before fuckin breathe this is so difficult. every time. If I go right now I won't be able to advocate well for myself. I need some rest first

Hey again, things are still pretty rough and I need some help so I'm boosting this again. Thank you!
Hi, everyone. Things have been rough and I could really use a hand. Anything helps, even just a boost. Thank you so, so much. I can't tell you how much I hope I can stop sharing this soon.

you know, maybe this time I'll be allowed to have a wig on the bhu. last time I could bring Bear and they had long colored pencils not just golf ones. It's hard to get myself to go. No one usually visits and the dehumanization is almost too much.

when my heart breaks
I just wait until late
when I'm alone in the dark.
I get on all fours
with my head down
and sob until
my broken heart chokes me.

I remember in 89 how excited I was to get my tongue pierced. I was trembling. One of my favorite memories. No bad sides.

The new folks in the room above me are given the bed a workout. I think they can hear me right now making this post about it which I think is really funny

Stopped to rest, I start 2 think. The setting sun is gold & pink. The weight I carry guides me down until my back’s on solid ground

No way with words, can’t win the crowds. An empty loaded loser’s vows. My mind’s been dull & numb 4 years. Said with such expressive elegance, changes nothing

Face & neck tats for me yeah or nah?

I mean, it's not like I'm going to be going back to tech anytime soon certainly not systems architecture.

Being 40 years old and watching the entire country figure out all the messed up stuff about itself that I've been aware of since I was a 14 year-old communist is... Exhausting...

It's like… I'm glad you're all here, finally, but…

Can we please do something about it now?

what folks seem to be missing is that america isnt doomed anymore, it just isnt anymore. america is gone. the usa is gone. there is no going back. stop dreaming. wake up and do something that promotes life and growth. anything at all. no representative is going to fix this. you have to.

grind away survival for 50 years. people say youre brave and blah blah blah like there was a choice that my mind made instead of my body. a lifetime of people i stayed for who cheered me on, for a moment. all no longer in my life. my illness is not palatable. all my friendships are doomed. #uglysick

when youre chasing down resources to help dv survivors get to safety and community resources and you realize you havent begun to heal from that yourself and this is a lot to take
