Punk Bubblegum Socialism

"im such a failure, i never do anything right, im a burden to everyone, i should just kill myself"

the punk in me: "no! you are a valuable person! you're just disabled and neurodivergent! you feel this way because others haven't valued you enough! they've pushed you down every chance they get! but that doesn't mean that's who you are! there are other people just like you, feeling the same way! you still see them as lovely, motivating, valuable, and comforting people, don't you?"

"...fair point but i also cant do anything to fix anything. no matter what i do, bad things happen. i'm powerless."

the punk in me: "maybe so! at least, in a lot of ways, you don't have control. that's not fair. there's nothing i can say to make that hurt less. you know what you can do already, and i know it doesn't feel like enough. but that's why there are people fighting for you right now. there are people all over the world right now fighting for your rights. they care about you. they don't have to know you individually to care. they simply don't want you to suffer because you're a person and they care. that's all you have to be -- it's okay. the entire world has not forsaken you."

"🥺 do you promise...?"

the punk in me: "i promise. it's death to amerikkka, not death to you."

All your art is beautiful and amazing btw!

It’s kinda silly, but I had a very religious upbringing and was taught I’d live for eternity and that I must devote my life to god in order to gain a spot in heaven - which sounded like absolute purgatory to my child self. I didn’t even ask to be born, and now you’re telling me I have to keep this bit up FOREVER? A lifetime is already overwhelming, let alone eternity.

because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person 

from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating
