    I’m just scared all of the time. Any time I can get a leg up - I’m not protected. I can lose everything at any time.

    If I end up homeless I’ll kill myself. I’ve been sexually assaulted too many times with a place to live. I can’t handle it anymore.

      I… I can only say that I know … what that’s like.

      I should be dead many times over.

      At one point, I got held hostage and beaten and starved for a week straight, barely escaped.

      At another point, nearly froze to death in a -30 F blizzard.

      I lost friends, or acquaintances at least… seen em pass on right in front of me… found their bodies a few days after they go missing.

      I know its even worse for girls, women and transfolk, I’ve … seen the aftermath of what … people do to them… a lot of my injuries, the scars I have now… are from trying to, and in some cases, successfully stopping people from doing horrific things, getting them out of traphouses…

      I don’t have a solution… only solidarity.
