(so i wrote this to a friend, but then i was all, "i should post this" because one day i'll have a comic about figuring out what the fuck TRUST is after surviving sexual assault....and maybe this could help someone who is looking for 'found materials' just like i am)

i have a fear that... oh wait. so i trust no one and nothing. this is really real. i think my body betrays me... and i have no idea what social sexual cues are... and also i think that if i express a boundary (of any kind) i'll get hurt OR it will get ignored... because my boundaries are insignificant.  these are deep things that i am actively trying to unlearn. the trust thing is MAD HARD YO!  because before i had this like idea of trust. TRUST was made out of old old bricks, super old, hand made... covered in moss... hard to see... and big. really big... like a Mayan temple big... but then it all got knocked down... no it got vaporized! there is no trace of it. so now it's like i am looking for trust and looking for pieces of old stone to rebuild it out of... but there is nothing... it's like post apocalyptic... so now i am all like... oh looking and looking... scavenging... getting 'found materials' taking this plastic bag and this fence and some wood and some copper wire.. and i am starting to build it... but then i forget what it looks like ... or how hard it is or what size... and then (if we are in this Mayan zombie film or something) i see some people... and they seem nice and i ask them what they are up to and what they think trust is and if they want to help me build some and find some materials. and some folks are like hell no... or they are like on some other shit. and that is immediately clear... and some folks are like... ooh shit i don't really know what trust is but i'll help you look for some shit. and some or like i gotta keep it moving but here is this thing (object, piece of jade a tooth a trinket) and i just shove that in there...
