I love that my city was on snapchat today. I love my city so much. And yes, it is pronounced "lul-vul."

For those who asked me why I walked in the Pride Parade, it's for all the people we've lost to the hatred of the world. I walk for you and the ones who have survived you. You won't be forgotten so long as I'm here.

It confuses people when they find out that I have depression. Like, I'm sorry that I don't always walk around looking sad and crying. I mean, I do my best to be positive and happy because if I can't do that for myself no one else will.

A true compliment is when you can compliment someone without having to put down another.

Why have good friends when you can have mine?

Someone take my friends from me, honestly. All they really ever do is make me feel insecure, unwanted, played, tricked, mocked, unloved, hated. They’re just fake to me and I don’t know why I stay talking to any of them. They wonder why I’m always so dramatic. Maybe I wouldn’t be and maybe I wouldn’t question every time y’all are nice to me if you didn’t go behind my back and talk shit or act differently. I swear, sometimes they just make me want to fucking explode or just outright die. They’re horrible friends and I don’t want to even associate with them but being treated like shit is better than being alone.

I am so over high school. I'm tired of arguing with friends and dealing with bullshit and a bunch of other drama that comes with high school. Like, just thinking about it, my chest tightens and feels pained. It's so unnecessarily stressful and dramatic and horrible.

I want to hear the troubles of the world so I can fix them. I want to hear the advancements of the world so I can celebrate them.
