Almost every time I say I love learning the reply comes "I hate school". And it's like...yh...me too. I dreaded going to school. And unfortunately I think a lot of ppl equate school and learning and make their school exp. stop them from exp the joy of learning their own way.
This is actually why I stopped commenting on FB years ago. No matter the conversation or the ppl. I never understood why...I think might also play into why I prefer 1-on-1 convos irl...less rejection...
Typed a thoughtful reply, hit send, and the entire chat suddenly goes silent. Instant spiral: “Great, I killed the conversation.” Being the accidental vibe vacuum feels awful.
Do you understand how much pain and torment a person must be experiencing to believe that death by suicide is a better alternative to living life? They don’t need your conviction and condemnation. They need your compassion and understanding.
Realizing I had ADHD late felt like being handed glasses after years of blurry vision. Everything finally makes sense, even if I can’t change the past.
There was that tweet "Mr/Miss..." which I found so ridiculous and amusing and unreal. I don't remember the rest of even the general context. But every time I see this handle I feel a little of that amused confusion and I enjoy it.
So I’ve been getting a specific question alot and I think I should make it clear 😅 My pronouns are she/her 🙏🏽 I’m just a princess in masc clothes ✨
I hope the people who have supportive parents are showing them love consistently. The type of blessing they are cannot be overstated. Once in a while...buy them a rose, surprise them with lunch whether store-bought/home-made, show up just to hang or go for a drive to the beach.
Your mental illness might explain your behavior but it doesn’t excuse your impact on other people. It might explain why you did what you did but it doesn’t erase the fact that someone else had to live with the impact. It gives context and not absolution. You can say
thoughts on mental health that would have you like this?
This image!! I thoroughly enjoy the lunacy of acting. I like the communal solitude of it.
Acting is quite the lunacy. Imagine having to contort my face, feign heartbreak, and weep on cue, all whilst being stared at by a roomful of judgmental strangers. Delightful.
People will bash you for your ethnic features all throughout your life but then act surprised when some folks want to change them out of insecurity.
Y’all be safe on the fking road tmr PLEASE…nah dash under no truck, nah climb nothing, NO MEANS NO, DRINK RESPONSIBLY and have CLEAN vulgar funz I thank you 🙏🏾🙂
Once you understand that rape isn’t about sex but about power, domination, and control… it stops being baffling and starts being terrifying. It’s about making someone feel small, worthless, voiceless, breakable.
Rape is honestly a crime that will always baffle me, far more than murder ever could.
Because PTSD is a medical condition so it’s important the employer knows asap so they can make the necessary accommodations (like working from home)
