i think i'm going to be taking a good long break from being on tumblr. maybe once it stops being such a hostile place towards people like myself i will come back, but until then i think avoiding it is going to be best for my mental health and for my heart. i really thought that i could feel safe here.
#to the few people on here who will read this or care#if you'd like to keep in touch i'd be more than happy to give my discord to you#i wish i could just ignore it and continue to be here for the things i enjoy#the things that make me happy to see and the things that are thought provoking and strange#but when i see such vitriolic Hatred for the foundations of who i am being spread and shared and Amplified#i feel my heart shatter into a million pieces. is it not enough to be rejected by the world at large?#to know that there are people who are meant to be 'on my side' that instead look upon me with disgust#and tell me that my lived experience is Not Real and didn't happen#genuinely makes me feel like i'm going insane#i hope someday we can all recognize that there is too much nuance in our collective experiences to box them into new binaries#and that at the end of the day we are all human beings with our own fights and struggles that we Must help each other with#if we are not extending a helping hand to someone who is in obvious distress#especially when the world is the way that it is right now#i think we are failing humanity#please i beg of you to listen to those who are hurting and instead of trying to dissect their hurt and pain so surgically#to listen to them with your heart open as just another human being with thoughts and feelings instead of words on a webpage#this world is much too cruel to all of us for us to oppose one another like this#please learn to love. please learn to listen.#and please try to forgive. if you cannot learn to forgive easier we will all eventually end up even more isolated than we already are#i don't want to be lonely anymore#and neither should any of you
