We All Make Choices

i wish trauma and mental illness worked the way people who constantly moralise it think it does

it's weird after being through massive life-changing trauma how not much feels like it matters anymore but when you do still get those spikes of mundane worry or self-centered insecurity or whatever you then feel guilty for caring at all. and you feel guilty for idk enjoying a song on the radio or a sunny day. and you feel guilty that you can't go back in time. and you feel guilty for using it all as an excuse. and you feel guilty for not being able to move on

Man, remember when Free The Nipple was a thing and there was an actual substantial amount of feminists who believed even public nudity wasn't inherently sexual and now if you date a short person hundreds of anonymous idiots online will call you a pedophile.

i hate diet culture so much. i hate how everyone steamrolls over my "i don't like talking about dieting." i hate seeing vibrant, beautiful personalities turn into someone who only talks about their weight loss. i hate when people brag abt how little they've eaten. i hate being expected to fawn over ppl for being on a crash diet. i hate when women go "hahah, i just don't really eat!" i hate when ppl use coffee or cigarettes to suppress their appetite and think that's healthy. i hate when i see the pain in my friend's eyes because someone around them lost weight and they feel Too Fat by comparison. i hate when people assume I'm unhealthy because im fat. i hate that this is something i've had to deal with since i was 7. i hate when fat people, stranded in a culture that villifies every aspect of their being, are asked to clap and cheer for thinness.

I’m deeply nostalgic for the mid 2010s but not in the way many others seem to be… They’ll be on TikTok like remember when we were all listening to The Chainsmokers and watching Jake Paul… actually girl I don’t

annoying that your family can love you and treat you well in some ways but then be so fucking cruel and treat you like shit in others

sorry boss can't come in today i was on my way to work and then a gentle spring breeze kissed my cheek and reminded me it is a serious thing just to be alive on this fresh morning in this broken world

start accepting that the idealized future you may have had in mind might not be possible but other great things are on their way

unfortunately i do understand the complexities of my parents lives and why they fucked up so much with us

Even if you were a difficult child, you didn't deserve to be hurt.
