still i rise

I know this is kind of a hot take but I think creating a religious ethnostate is bad

I actually think it is still bad even if it is a religious ethnostate for a highly oppressed ethnicity and religion. I just don’t think it’s a good idea

still caring about internet friends you lost touch with years ago is so embarrassing. yeah i had a deam we met up irl recently. the last time we spoke was maybe 7-8 years ago. i still wear the laces we randomly decided was a sign of our friendship. i dont know what any of your socials are or if youre even active on any. sometimes i see someones art resemble yours and i wonder for hours. do you still go by that name you chose? whenever i see it i wonder if its you. we couldve passed each other in this vastness a thousand times and not have a clue.

we were lonely kids having fun together. do you remember?

I'm actually comfortable in this pit you put me in. I like it in here and I will resist any attempt made to rescue me. I'm happy with the scraps you feed me and I don't mind how sick I'm getting.

Parents are giving their children names no one has ever spoken out loud before

Baby Name Consultant is the type of job title you'd see people claim to have on HGTV while nitpicking 3 different multi-million dollar houses.

stop assuming the worst most bad faith negative interpretations of everyone else's intentions and you will find yourself so much more at ease in life

Unfortunately literally fucking everyone assumes the worst most bad faith interpretation of my intentions and I AM NOT AT EASE AT ALL because I am ALWAYS SCARED that literally fucking ANYTHING and EVERYTHING I do is going to result in people hurting me. And it always happens! They always fucking hurt me! I'm terrified! :D

i mean this so gently but you have to stop assuming everyone is assuming the worst of you too. it preemptively puts you on the defensive. if you aren't assuming the worst why would they be? by assuming they're assuming the worst of you, you are creating a cycle you will never escape. i am sorry you've been hurt, i hope you can find healing
