*takes your face gently in my hands and looks sincerely into your eyes* listen. your home does not need to look like a showroom. homes are meant to be lived in, and that means a certain amount of mess. it's okay if there is clutter on your desk or if you don't remember the last time you cleaned your oven. mess is morally neutral. but at the same time, you deserve to live in an environment that is safe and comfortable, and that means someone has to clean sometimes. things like mold, spoiled food, and dirty litter boxes are genuine health hazards and need to be dealt with before they make someone sick. think of cleaning less as "my home needs to be completely spotless" and more as "I am an animal and I need a habitat that is free of hazardous material." it's okay. *kisses you on the forehead and tucks you into a blanket*
(and of course it is always acceptable and even good for you to ask someone else to help you with cleaning if it's physically or mentally difficult for you. even if you're paying them to do it.)

To try to do anything in this day and age is courageous. Even if you suck at least youβre fucking doing something. Youβre creating something. You are doing SOMETHING. That in itself is a courageous act.
To all the trans people who see this tonight, no matter what happens, we will survive. Trans people will still be here 4 years from now and 10 years from now and 100 years from now and tomorrow. We have always existed and we always will. The world cannot unlearn about us; we are too public, too loud, too beloved, too present. Ill be here tomorrow. Please stay here with me.

It's just one of those days
All things look the same
But nothing feels quite safe.
I'm scrounging for a sense of security.
So I'll wear a friends old t-shirt
And strum until my fingers hurt
And wash until my brain just works.
Little things are the start to stability.
You will get just what you give,
and take what you recieve.
A lesson you will come to learn,
you never must deceive.
To be yourself, a humble gift,
a freedom for your mind.
But this is not true just for you,
this gift of being kind.
You must be kind to everyone,
as they are kind to you.
Treat others with only respect,
you'll be respected too.
If you're content to be yourself
and let others do the same,
it allows them to be happy too
and live without the shame.
It starts with just a simple thing,
to treat yourself with care.
And then it spreads to everyone,
a kindness we all share.
If you give what you expect,
you will get very far.
The secret to your happiness,
be kind to who you are.
