i’m a black trans woman, i’m unemployed, and my family is threatening to kick me out.
i need help.
my abusive parents recently found my blog and realized i’m trans and they’re furious. they’ve been increasingly violent towards me and are even withholding food from me. i desperately need food and money to help me move out of this house. i’ve been desperately looking for work but no one will hire me. even $1 would help me tremendously and is immensely appreciated. and even a reblog helps. my paypal is paypal.me/cherrysodas and my venmo is @Nia-Taylor-7
update: i’m getting kicked out the week after christmas so i’m now at risk of becoming homeless. even $1 or a reblog helps

A Brief Essay On“Sameface”…
…and how some people do it right. Sorry about the lack of visual aids, it’s late and I’m tired.
I’ve seen a lot of people talk about how they want to be okay, feel better, and I’m gonna drop some knowledge on you right now. Just the fact that you want to feel okay means you’re getting better. You saying ‘this isn’t where I want to be in life’ means you are looking forward, looking to get better. And just that little bit of motivation means that you are okay, because you’re still alive and still looking forward. You haven’t lost hope yet, and I’m sure that’s better compared to where you used to be. I believe in you. Keep getting better.
