Hello, it’s me.  


Today, during trans awareness week, MENTAL was able to make our first donations. $120 might not seem like a lot, but holy s**t (!!!) it’s so much more than I was expecting. 


Thank you for supporting this project, thank you for reading, thank you for donating. Thank you for not letting this turn into me screaming into a void about things that matter to me. Thank you for helping me support an amazing organization like . I’m so happy. (Swipe for the proof of happiness and donation.)


This project started in my bedroom with me writing down my 6am thoughts from my mattress with no bed frame. I didn’t think we’d get here, I didn’t think so many wonderful artists would trust me enough to talk about mental health and therapy and heavy emotions. 


Thank you to all of you:
 

 

 
 



Can’t wait for Issue #2! Feel free to email if you’re interested in getting involved. 


Love, love, so much love.
