you deserve good things in your life.

you deserve to be happy.

you worked so hard to get where you are now.

embrace the good things that are coming to you. dont be afraid that they’ll be tainted, that you have to keep yourself from appreciating it in full in the name of self-preservation, just in case it falls apart.

you are allowed to be happy. you are allowed to feel proud of yourself.

you are so deserving.

It's much easier to pat ourselves on the back for acknowledging their "heroism" than it is to, I dunno, pay them a living wage or give them healthcare.

They don't want to be hailed as heroes. They want to be able to pay their bills. #RespectLabor

There’s nothing wrong with a woman who enjoys her time of freedom and solitude. Her comfort zone should be herself before anything else. Her oasis of serenity is driven by her past trauma she no longer chooses to dwell in. There’s a sort of beauty in that.

To be kind is more important than to be right. Many times, what people need is not a brilliant mind that speaks but a special heart that listens.

My lovely significant other, @wrenlight, is in a very unstable and unsafe living situation. Without giving away all the personal details, I’ll give some background. Her grandma is verbally, mentally and emotionally abusive and borderline violent, constantly screaming at her and demanding she does anything and everything.

Her mother is an overbearing helicopter parent, who also yells at her and tells her to do everything. She has next to no privacy, and despite being 21, is treated like a child. Her grandpa is rarely around to do anything, even if he is, he is mostly passive and doesn’t put in any effort to stop their abuse. Despite her repeatedly telling him what has happened.

On top of that, she has a dog, Brutus, who they abuse (screaming, physically, etc.) and don’t listen to her whenever she tries to properly care for him. She’s trying to train him but it’s all being reversed by her family. And there is only so much she can do while being on the end of the family food chain, not to mention with her anxiety, depression, and other mental and physical disabilities.

My sister and I are saving up for rent, but we have our, not as bad, shitty family situation. But I’m not able to get more than freelance transcription jobs due to my crippling anxiety, depression and arthritis. We estimate it’ll probably take up to two years or more to be able to put a down payment on a house, have enough money to rent, able to sustainably live on our own, and make the trip to go and get Wren.

That’s barely touching the surface, and her situation only seems to be getting worse. She has been having a harder and harder time coping with it. Her dog is getting more anxious, and isn’t getting proper socialization, training, etc. She says she’s okay and can deal with it, also refusing to make this post herself, but I’m worried for her, especially if she is accidentally outed. I don’t want to imagine what would happen.

TL;DR - My s.o. and her dog is in a horrible familial and living situation, it’s only getting worse. We all have pets, are poor, and need money. Mostly to save to rent a house and to try and get her out of there. If you could donate, even just a dollar, or even if you just reblog!!! That would mean the fucking world to me. I’m sorry I don’t have anything to offer in return.

Money donated will be saved for the move, or put towards vet bills for Brutus. Please ignore her deadname.

any help, whether it’s financial or just reblogging (or even advice) is definitely appreciated so so much!

thank you.
