All the Pretty Things

I have nerve damage from a near deadly B12 deficiency caused by pernicious anemia. I have scoliosis and facet syndrome. I’ve had 2 major surgeries for excruciating endometriosis and adenomyosis. I have severe myalgic encephalomyelitis and fibromyalgia. I am unable to work, and know because I’ve t…

I’m trying to let go of my guilt and shame over asking for help. I wouldn’t judge someone else for doing the same. I’d rather use the money of kind and generous people than that of parents who used to abuse me. I hope every person who’s donated knows how much it is appreciated.

Oh right, that’s why if products are visible from the window, it’s considered acceptable to rob a store. 

That’s why if you can smell the food wafting out of the restaurant you can steal it. 

That’s why if they leave their wallet on the table while they go to the bathroom it’s ok to copy down their credit card information.

That’s why if the phones aren’t attached to the counter they’re free to take.

That’s why if the shape of a guy’s junk is at all visible through his clothing it’s cool to kick him in the testicles.
