#harsh truths

Idk why I’m the one telling you this but being bullied or abused at any point in your life doesn’t magically and automatically make you a better person or even a particularly good person. Sometimes it just teaches you a really toxic mindset about social status, social hierarchies and and power dynamics that you chase to your own detriment.

Things end, people change, and life goes on.

I really think that people need to stop shipping Smith Hockey and Celebrini - not for the usual reasons (they're obviously together for now) but because this is so obviously going to burn itself out.

And finally when the food is finished, the plates are called dirty.

Every time I hear some fatalist say something along the lines of, “what is for you will find you,” I think about the 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men (that’s just those who report) who sit on a virtual therapy couch every week and try to scrub their memories of perverse harm done to them in childhood. I think of the thousands who were born and died into slavery in various nations, some kidnapped and sold by their very own people, never to see loved ones again. I think of genocides and holy wars, in the name of a god they believe created all humanity. I think of the destruction time and neglect has fed upon a planet being stripped of its resources. I think of the ever expanding poverty, homelessness, and incarceration numbers all for the greed of 1% billionaires.
