23 years// Maybe this silly little blog can help someone. I'm still growing up, and with a bit of hope, I always will be.

Me: "I'm gonna get to know this person. We could possibly become friends at some point too."

Also me: *falls in love or something*

It's okay if your gender changes.

It's okay if your sexuality changes.

It's okay if your romanticism changes.

It's okay if your beliefs change.

It's okay if your knowledge changes.

It's okay if your abilities change.

It's okay if your mind changes.

It is okay if you change.

It is a part of being alive, and I want you to live.

Now that you're alone, I hope the words you've said weigh on you when you're lonely.

"Just go to school!"

Dawg do you think my parents are rich or even a little helpful.

I missed the fafsa deadline for the year, I have to work a full time job just to afford my bills which doesnt even include rent - which entails having minimal time for school if i want to maintain my sanity... there is so much more to it than just going to school, and trust me when I say I fucking want to. I want to go to school full time and have the luxury on focusing on furthering my education in a field I actually want to study.

"There's no ethical consumption under capitalism."

There is - it's just out of my price range.

And that's all you need to know about the failings of capitalism.

Making good friends after a period of isolation will have you realizing that your superiority and god complexes are actually just masks for unfathomably low self esteem

Exploited workers who cant buy extra shit (i am part of this demographic) :

The difference between us and the exploited worker who *can* buy extra shit is circumstances and luck.

Other exploited workers are not our enemy whether or whether not they can buy extra shit.

The real enemy is the people exploiting the workers for their own gain AND the people encouraging them - and in some cases even helping them - to do so.

And dear fellow exploited worker, don't be Santa's little helper. Santa don't need your help because he's fucking rich, and he aint gonna share none of it with you.

If Pandora released all evils / suffering into the world, why the fuck did Prometheus have to steal fire for humanity?

I think anger gets a bad reputation in trauma spaces a lot of the time.

People will say things like, "Holding onto anger isn't healthy," and I understand what they're trying to say. If years go by and anger is the only place you're able to live, it can absolutely keep you stuck.

But I also think there's a difference between staying angry forever and allowing yourself to be angry while you're healing.

For a lot of survivors, anger is actually an important part of recovery. It can be the moment you stop blaming yourself. The moment you stop minimizing what happened. The moment you realize that you deserved better.

Many of us spent years making excuses for the people who hurt us. We focused on their trauma, their intentions, their struggles, and their pain. We understood them so well that we forgot to make room for our own feelings.

Sometimes anger is what creates that space.

That doesn't mean anger should be taken out on other people. It doesn't mean every angry reaction is healthy. But the feeling itself isn't automatically a problem.

Sometimes anger is simply grief with boundaries.

Sometimes it's self-respect showing up for the first time.

And sometimes it's a necessary step on the way to healing.

"Not disabled enough to not work" is so fucking stupid. Like yeah I can fucking work most times, but I can't hold down a fucking job because my disabilities shockingly disable me to the point I can't work some days and big corpos hate that shit. And i cant get accommodations at work without a Dr's note, which i cant get without seeing a doctor, which i cant do if i cant get insurance through work, which i cant get if i cant hold down a damn job, which i cant do if i dont get accommodations, which you get my point. And it is still somehow my fucking fault.

"Why can't you have roommates?"

"Why do you want to live alone?"

"Why don't you like going out or socializing?"

"Why don't you have many friends?"

Because public opinion of my autistic traits is constantly oscillating between "haha you're so funny," "awww that's so cute," "you're being a bit dramatic," "what are you, a child?," ...anyways, you get the point ... IT IS ALL FUCKING EXHAUSTING.

You don't get to pick and choose traits from an autistic person like a gods dammned charm bracelet, and you sure as hells don't need to keep projecting your opinions about our traits and how you see them onto us.

I want to be around people! I don't want to live alone! I don't want to isolate! I want to go out and form meaningful friendships!

But it is so fucking hard when I'm either seen as cute and quirky or volatile and rude with no in between. And the latter usually only happens because I am not actually being cute and quirky, I am usually distressed or trying to be serious and now you're making me feel condescended and belittled and infantilized AS FUCK.

For the love of the gods I am a fucking person. A real person. Someone with thoughts and feelings and struggles and life. I am a fucking person.

I swear to fucking god. I would claw out OneDrive from my computer if I could. I would burn down their servers if I could. I would run down their stocks to the ground if I could. I hope every single one of their workers gets a better offer from a competitor in the next 24 hours. I hope every single one of their light bulbs explodes at the same time. I hope every single carton of milk in their fridge will always be expired.

Stop backing up my fucking files.

Stop asking me to back up my fucking files.

Stop taking my fucking files off my fucking computer.

I don't want a fucking reminder in three fucking days. Let me fucking say no.

Fuckers.

Queer people getting to be open and talk about their desire for sex is important in a world where queer people are prevented from being with the people they want

Asexual people getting to be open and talk about not wanting sex and never having sex is important in a world that tries constantly to sell sex to us as an inevitable activity

Disabled people fighting for the right to marry is important in a world that holds life-saving benefits hostage and prevents one from marrying

Women fighting for the right to divorce or to never marry is important in a world that pushes women into a subordinate role of "wife"

Ex-Religious people fighting for the right to leave a religion or not be forced to convert to a religion is important in a world that subjects everyone to predatory missionary work

Religious people fighting for the right to practice their religion and do so openly is important in a world that prioritized religions over one another--often Christianity but not always

And you could substitute many more things into this. Young people fight to not be infantilized by authority, but they also in some areas fight to not be adultified. Some people have to fight so hard for a variety of reasons to be able to grow out their hair. Some people have to fight so hard to be able to cut it. Some fight to be allowed to wear coverings, some fight to be allowed to wear nothing. Some fight to be left alone, some fight to get the care they need. Some fight to be able to leave, some fight to be able to stay.

None of these comparable fights are opposed to one another, because the fight isn't about the specific thing, it is all about the same thing: autonomy.

Someone's fight to wear a dress is someone's fight to wear pants is someone's fight to live alone is someone's fight to live with someone is someone's fight to be left alone by medical institutions is someone's fight to be able to medically alter their body.

It is the same fight. People who want the opposite for themselves that I want for me are my siblings. We want the exact same thing: the choice to be who we want, how we want, on our terms.

And I WANT that for everyone. I want people to be allowed to choose what I wouldn't, do what I wouldn't, because then I would be free to do what I want and need.

a ton of people have unexpectedly followed me over the last 2 days so here is my rent-lowering gunshot:

the american south is the most racially diverse and poorest region of the united states, and any political sentiment that treats the south is stupid or expendable is inherently racist and classist. a lot of y'all are racist and classist. the south is also the heart of american culture. argue with a wall. you cannot deny that everybody in the entire world does not emulate artists from atlanta. there is vested interest in keeping the south poor and uneducated BECAUSE this is the most racially diverse region in this country. if you actually give a fuck about progress, you would fight for the south, not mock us.
