|

It is hard to cope with happiness. This is the best period of my life ever, bar
|
||||
none. I have time to learn, discuss, work, clean, I'm wearing clean clothes and
|
||||
can take regular showers. I don't know how to process it. I've never in my life
|
||||
been in such a good environment with such good friends and I don't know how to
|
||||
cope with getting rides everywhere, having meals made for me, my laundry done
|
||||
by someone else.
|
||||
|
||||
I've been very self sufficient for a little while now. I did my laundry at
|
||||
either a laundromat with money I had earned from work or with my own hands in a
|
||||
work sink with soap purchased with money I had earned from work. Often the
|
||||
latter so I could afford to eat food I had prepared with ingredients I had
|
||||
purchased with money I had earned from work, or food I had prepared during
|
||||
work. A washing machine doesn't fit in a backpack, nor a dryer, though in a
|
||||
pinch when walking I could hang clothes off the backpack to get at least a side
|
||||
of them dry before getting to where I could change out of what I was wearing.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to change my clothes I had to find a public bathroom, ideally a Burger
|
||||
King because I was an employee there but in a pinch if I was fast enough a gas
|
||||
station would work, put my backpack and clothes on the often dirty floor, and
|
||||
strip down in a stall or in better cases when a stall was a room a full
|
||||
restroom. I had to do it fast because gas station attendants and fast food
|
||||
workers can smell homelessness on you, the hopelessness and stench of hand
|
||||
washed clothing. It is in the modern era equivalent to smelling addiction and
|
||||
on occasion I would be accused of taking so long in the bathroom to shoot up
|
||||
heroin. There was never sympathy or understanding or even acceptance. Because I
|
||||
was homeless, noticeably so, I was considered subhuman, vermin.
|
||||
|
||||
There was no way to take a shower. Gym bathrooms work if you're cisgender or
|
||||
living in a generally trans-friendly area. I was not. A shower for me was the
|
||||
bathroom at work, before work, where I used my laundry soap and a bandanna to
|
||||
swab my arms, face, neck, chest, and armpits. I had to be quick because the
|
||||
morning workers liked to spread rumors about my being a homeless addict,
|
||||
an immediately obvious falsehood to those who knew me but slander for those who
|
||||
didn't. I wasn't troubled that people knew I was homeless because while
|
||||
violence likes to come for those on the streets, vermin that can be tortured
|
||||
and killed the same way rats and cockroaches are in apartments, I was charming,
|
||||
witty, somewhat educated or seemingly, and tried to be as kind as possible to
|
||||
others. I tried to be a representable member of the unhoused and of the
|
||||
trannies, to appeal to those cretins with their ceilings and simpler thoughts.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to change my clothes, if in the apartment, I take my clothes off and
|
||||
put different clothes on. In order to take a shower I go to the bathroom, take
|
||||
my clothes off, and turn the shower tap. Less pain, less ink. Can I get used to
|
||||
this? Should I? When I see Subarus outside I wonder if I could have survived
|
||||
the winter. It was cold as fuck sleeping outside in October. Sometimes I wonder
|
||||
if I did die in that car. If this is heaven. I wonder if I did die in that car
|
||||
and so now if I am a different person than who entered. I wonder if Toni is
|
||||
still where I left her in the parking lot, if she's rotting from disuse and if
|
||||
the cardboard I used to seal the rear window is molding. The picture of Dorian
|
||||
Grey.
