What if I'm lying to myself?
What if everything I am isn't true?
What if I'm just acting?
What if I don't really love you?
What if it doesn't matter-
How badly I want to?
What if I'm a liar?
And don't even belong here?
What if I'm wrong?
And have been tricking everyone?
What if I've been manipulative?
And stringing everyone along?
What if all that I am-
Isn't even real?
What if I'm just fooling you?
And that isn't how I feel?
What if I've been grasping-
At something that isn't there?
What if I've been faking?
And I don't really care?
Cause zoning out
And talking loud
Are all that seems to fit.
What if that's why being gay
And being scared
And being nice
And being aware
And trying to be kind
Never really made sense
When I'm just going to die.
And I thought writing this would
Make me feel a little better
But inside it feels like peeling off
Almost every layer
And finding nothing inside
Of me
But a skeleton, blood, and guts
What if I'm just a liar?
And that's all I ever was?
Because I can't do this by my own renown
And saying I'm not gay
Feels like I'm letting myself down.
Feels like greeting a stranger.
Feels like the opposite
Of letting everyone I care about
D
O
W
N.
And what if that's who I should be?
What's if unlike me-
That's who they should see!
Perfect
Perfect
Perfect
Don't let anybody down-
You have to hate yourself to be happy!
While just wearing a frown
I feel myself getting down
From this pedestal I built
Maybe this-
A liar
A fake
A disappointment
A mistake
What if...
What if that's all that I can hope to me?
I just hope I won't get worse.
Drew a bunny girl again… I seem to like designing rabbit-based characters. Just by going off of the fact that I have a lot of them: -Lucy -Raina -Jinger -Aster E.B. -Mo(temp. name) -Crowin(only male rabbit based OC) -Ms Nursey(this one, also a temp. name) Also, at least half of these are aliens of some sort or another, 🐰🌙👽
I love him,,,,,,,,,,,,sm💕 Like,,,,,,he's just so beautiful and I love
I, uhhh... my go to vent/doodle/thought is this same goddamn window.... I've drawn it way more than this but these are all the drawings I found while looking through my most current big sketchbook. Also pictured is a sad cactus🌵
Such a handsome boy.
1. Started: preschool
Left: 6 weeks into 4th
2. Started: 6th grade
Left: halfway into 9th
3. Started(late): 9th(repeat)/10th
Leaving: after attending the 1st week we have back from winter break.
I'll be leaving soon.
Hopefully to get my GED, and
Hopefully then: college
Maybe get a degree-
In art
Or in psychology.
Hopefully
I find a job
And learn to drive-
Or at least ride a bike.
But
No matter what-
I'll be leaving.
...
I'm sorry.
Some more draws and doods of Dani -the Reaper-, Lucy- the Rabbit-, and Luthier- Her Conscience. Luther's design is something I both love and hate in equal measure, so I tend to change it to be more feeble or creepy depending on the draw😅. Despite how it may look, Dani is a lot harder to draw then Lucy, and slightly less fun sometimes, I still love my dead daughter though!
From Hilda the series- on Netflix.
I swear I'm trying to change whatever's wrong with me.
It gets hard when the happier I am the less ok I feel.
When the more I let myself hug my friends the more being touched makes me want to hurl.
The more I care about everyone else, the less I care about myself.
The less I let them hate themselves the more I hate myself.
I try to work outside in but It feels more like turning myself inside out.
Why is it so hard for me to like myself half as much as I love everyone else?
Why is it so difficult to care about myself yet so easy to take care of everyone else?
Why do I feel like I'm giving myself away
Why do I feel like they hate me
Why do I feel so hopeless
Why do I feel so lost
Why can't I feel anything...?
Please, for the love of god, let me smile and breathe at the same time
Let me actually feel all those emotions I was promised
Someone make me less selfish.
This new bill has been introduced in both the house and the Senate.
Among other things, it will:
Raise the monthly disability income by just over 30 percent - bringing it to poverty level.
Remove penalties for recieving financial help from friends and family.
Increase the amount of assets a disabled person may have from $2,000 to $10,000 (this hasn't been updated since 1989)
Update outside income restrictions to allow disabled people to receive up to $399 a month without reducing their benefits.
REWARD, not penalize, people who want to receive additional income while on social security income.
REMOVE THE MARRIAGE BAN YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT THIS WILL REMOVE THE MARRIAGE BAN
For those unaware current regulations do a lot to oppress disabled people. In fact marriage equality doesn't even extend to disbled people who risk having their benefits reduced or outright taken away if they marry someone. This means that in common law states disabled people can't even live with their significant other or they risk losing their financial independence.
Current regulations mean that if you're disbled you can't have so much as one penny over $2,000 to your name. So buying a car and gaining more independence or freedom is largely out of the question for disabled people.
Current regulations penalize social security recipients who receive income from outside sources, even if those sources are reimbursement. Did you get paid to babysit for a few hours? That's income, and you get your benefits reduced. Did you loan a friend $10 and they pay you back? The government considers that $10 income, and you get your benefits reduced.
These aren't mere anecdotes - these are all examples of actual things that have happened to disbled people I know, and if you have any disabled friends in your life I'm sure they can tell you the same stories.
If you value marriage equality, if you value financial independence, if you value the rights of disbled people, please PLEASE support this bill! Contact your reps, vote, and make noise! This is a great thing!
