I'm tearing up reading the end of this piece. <3

As a queer/disabled/mentally ill non-binary person: I'm still here, and that's something. I'm still cooking meals for my family and friends, and that's something. I'm still proud of my work and try to keep doing better, and that's something.

And for all of you reading here, folks I know and folks I don't: you're still here, and I'm grateful for you, and that's something.

One way I try to be the light is to use the extra room in my budget to give that money away to folks who need it more than I do. I do this both via charities and via direct giving, on the internet and otherwise.

This isn't actually something I was doing much of prior to November 2016, but it certainly has helped me feel like I'm doing at least something.
