I think you’ll find a girl who exhales answers instead of a never-ending stream of questions, one whose hands aren’t always ink-stained, one whose heart doesn’t live in her throat, one whose demons are small enough to be tucked into the back of her closet, sealed in a box, only let out once or twice a year when she’s drunk off of cheap wine, a girl who doesn’t feel like her head is going to explode every day, who doesn’t dream about the kitchen knives. You’ll find a girl who doesn’t write poems for you, but that’s okay because she smiles all the time and there is always light in her eyes, never a thunderstorm.
I will try not to blame you when you find this girl because now that I know what a horrible place my own mind is, I could never ask someone else to want to stay there too.

i was supposed to hang out with my bf today after 3 days of not seeing him but then he made plans with his friend instead and just invited me to get food with them so i wouldn’t be ‘too disappointed about not seeing him’ and its just shit i’d rather not see him at all than awkwardly third wheel him and his friend and its not really a big deal but ive just been in a shit mood and all my friends have already gone home from uni so i was looking forward to hanging out with someone i like and now i’m just gonna spend the rest of the day alone in my bed

The only way I will rest in peace is if one day transgender people aren’t treated the way I was, they’re treated like humans, with valid feelings and human rights. Gender needs to be taught about in schools, the earlier the better. My death needs to mean something. My death needs to be counted in the number of transgender people who commit suicide this year. I want someone to look at that number and say “that’s fucked up” and fix it. Fix society. Please.
