BAILA SIN MIEDO, AMA SIN MIEDO.

nobody else doing it like me. particularly because the way i’m doing it is needlessly difficult

everyone loves to think of suicidality as this dramatic emergency, but for the chronically suicidal, it just... isn't. it's a regular, often daily part of life. how would you feel if you were told you're not allowed to talk about or mention something that for you is just another tuesday? it'd be pretty frustrating, right?

Everyone say thank you women with deep low pitched voices

The thing is nobody at pride is evaluating you to determine if you’re queer enough to be there because they’re too busy thinking “it’s so hot out” and “why is this lemonade 12 dollars?”

happy pride month to everyone who cant pick a consistent label. we may not know what flags we're waving at the pride parade but we're at the party anyways babey.

let people be wrong about you. let people have their bitter misconceptions. not everyone is considerate, and that can’t be changed.

I do think when it comes to making friends a lot of it does have to do with getting over yourself like yeah some people will reject you or sometimes you’ll feel embarrassed or get your feelings hurt but thats not the end of the world if you want to experience anything in life you have to get over that and put the effort in idfk unironically a lot of people ive met who have trouble making friends also admit they won’t put themselves out there first and start talking to somebody first or ask somebody to hang out first etc etc and it truly is like @3liza said you want the experience of already having friends without the experience of making friends and getting to know them. None of this is to say it’s easy it’s not but it’s worth it

agreed 100%. i also think the rhetoric around "being the friend who always reaches out/makes plans" leads to people equating a would-be friend's lack of initiative with a lack of interest in the relationship. like that's not always the case. people are lazy and forgetful so if you want to be their friend that bad, you gotta be willing to overlook some annoying qualities for the sake of community idk.

Im ngl I think a lot of the “being the friend who always reaches out” stuff is people kind of purposefully ignoring how busy the average person is it does take an extreme amount of effort to have friends on top of work and life. especially if you have a large number of friends. Like idk it’s good to be able to recognize the difference between hurt feelings and personal annoyances vs thinking it’s an objective truth that the actions that caused them means nobody cares about you and you should stop pursuing it
