My soul is tired

[Avery]

I'm tired and lonely and all messy inside and I have a whole list of reasons but none of them seem good enough to justify why I'm feeling this way.

I'm tired, folks. Sticking around, but tired.

I was wondering if anyone had anything nice to tell me. Something happy or beautiful. A story or a fun fact (I like space and geology and generally popular science stuff a lot). Or maybe describe your favourite place or the best summer day you've ever had. Just something nice, please.

There's a cat rescue page I follow on Facebook. It was made under the name of a cat that survived being intentionally put on fire, and now they save a lot of other cats that are very sick or injured and sometimes aren't expected to walk... or for the worst ones, might not be expected to live. I like watching them go from "Pray this kitty makes it through the night" to "Yay this kitty is all better and has been adopted!" Basically, they take on the ones most other people won't. Most do make it, and recover.

The current one is a kitten that had a spinal injury and they thought might not walk. Now, she's had surgery and with a lot of physical therapy, started moving her back legs to try to walk yesterday! And today she was able to stand up without any help at all. I always look forward to those updates.



Another they thought might not make it at all, is all clear now and is doing very well and waiting to be adopted.

This reminds me of a really adorable video I saw once of a tortoise with a little lego wheel glued to the underside of its shell because its legs were too weak to stand on but could propel him forward with the help of the wheel

I didn't share the page itself because when they first get the cats in, they do post pics and what is wrong with them, sometimes including what they think happened. And those aren't so nice to read...

But the updates are always nice. And it's kind of uplifting at times to see someone out there doing everything they can to help these cats and make sure they make a full recovery.

Too bad everyone isn't like that with everything. lol. But it's nice to see someone is like that with something, I guess.

I'm pretty sure I've seen that one!

They sort of do similar with the cats that can't walk. They make slings for them for their therapy sessions. I think one got acupuncture before? And just every other therapy they can throw at them. They really put so much work into each cat. It's cool.

The nice thing is you.

Time after time you come in here, fighting a million battles, and leaving us feeling better as a result.

And where you are at we have all been.

Its the little things when its like this. Finding a sparrow, seeing a sunset, stars.

Lighting a candle and incense, taking a bath or shower.

Joyrides.

Theres a yhousands ways to shake the cycle.

For the many we have lost, the friends we bury, the death that stalks us, the hate that kills us, and the hearts that hold us, we mourn, we cry, but above all, we fight.

The battle for the heart. Reach out, dearest of trans, for the love you deserve. Our community is filled with it, never give up, outlast the darkness, and youch lives with your love.

Be the difference, one kind moment can save a life.

So many lost. Don't be one of them. Brave the deathly night to behold the joy of the rising sun. And be that sun for those who no longer can fight.

Be the precious diamond hearts of trans.

Cool! And cool that they used a Mi'kmaq word as a nod - I'm actually Mi'kmaq too

I know I'll make it through, I always have and always do. Thank you for holding me up when I need it and I'll hold you all too.

I've said it before and I'll say it a thousand times more this forum is a family to me and one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.

My ancestors would say wela'lin and I've started saying that not only in ceremony but when the words thank you in English just aren't enough

So wela'lin, Trinity and everybody, for sharing and supporting me ❤

[Trinity]

I just love what everybody here posted.

You are such very special people.
