Lee. I'm not queer.

I know.

For all the things my eyes have seen, the best, by far, is you.

googling shit like "why do i feel bad after hanging out with my friends" and all of the answers are either "you need better friends" (i don't; my friends are wonderful) or "your social battery is drained, you need to rest and regain your energy levels" (i don't; i've got tons of energy, it's just manifesting as over-the-top neurotic mania). why is this even happening. it's like some stupid toll i have to pay as a punishment for enjoying myself too much

Donations post!!!

Hello! I'm Willow and I genuinely hate that I'm making a post like this! It makes me feel like crap! And I am so sorry you have to see this on your dashboard, but if you don't mind at all I'd.. really appreciate you taking a moment to read.

Earlier this month, my family had to drop $3,000+ to pay the water bill, leaving us with no money except for the little paychecks I receive from my work. Unfortunately, we also have to pay a lawyer's bill of $1,500 soon. Like, December 16th soon. We have a sheriff sale on that day. Now we have a lawyer lined up ready to file a "motion of stay", but he needs some form of payment, and I currently only have $176 total in my bank account after I had to give up my own savings to help cover the water bill. I don't get paid until this upcoming Friday, but even the check won't be enough. He'll take half of that payment if necessary, but uh... still far from even half of it, yknow?

I am a 24 year old living with my 65 year old mother who just got out of the hospital after suffering a stroke and two seizures who has memory loss, and my 43 year old sister who is wheelchair bound and needs specialized care. If the motion of stay doesn't get filed, the house will go into foreclosure and we'll all be sent on the streets. Which is terrifying to think about.

I know it's Christmas time, and money is tight for everyone, so please don't feel obligated to donate if you can't. I really don't want to put anyone else in a financial strain. But if you could just share this post around the next few days, that would mean a lot. Again, I am so sorry for putting in on your dashboards, but I don't know what else to do.

Here is a link to my Paypal.

I will offer doodles if you donate. If you want me to draw you something, hit up my dm's!! Or inbox!! Something!! Hope you have a good day and stay safe out there.
