In all this madness, don't forget to smile.

I'm Kristen. I've learned when to be quiet, what to share, and how to be a better person. I'm too lazy to delete my earlier posts. The teen angst ran deep, and I understand some posts are cringe looking back.

And yet another day i wake up enraged at the fact that Nana Komatsu and Nana Osaki aren't officially a couple.

I think part of why I love cartoons so much is because growing up, I spent more time watching TV than doing anything else. I used to be embarrassed by that, but it’s true. It’s not just nostalgia, it’s home.

I feel so much pressure to love my new job, because I told everyone that this was what I wanted. My friends and family were so happy to see me get out of the toxic work situation that I’d been in for two years, so I’m not sure if I actually love it, or if I just really want to.

‘Race and racism is a reality that so many of us grow up learning to just deal with. But if we ever hope to move past it, it can’t just be on people of color to deal with it. It’s up to all of us – Black, white, everyone – no matter how well-meaning we think we might be, to do the honest, uncomfortable work of rooting it out. It starts with self-examination and listening to those whose lives are different from our own. It ends with justice, compassion, and empathy that manifests in our lives and on our streets.’ — Michelle Obama

i like to get inspired and then not act on it and waste away in my bed

I am becoming someone who is more optimistic and less judgmental. I am becoming someone that does not define someone based on their social or economical status. I am becoming someone that loves on people regardless of anything else. This is a positive shift that I’m excited about and want to continue working towards. However, I’m having a harder time loving family. I don’t expect people to also change. This is a me thing, but I am saddened to hear the negativity and judgement. When I don’t join in, when I sit in silence, they end the conversation “well as long as they’re happy, that’s all I care about” but you don’t mean that, do you?

I work at an apartment complex and “Wouldn’t it be funny if they got evicted?” is an actual sentence that came out of my coworkers mouth. I feel sick to my stomach.

The next time they tell you Americans are “happy” with their employer provided health insurance remember that that “happiness” is fueled by willful ignorance of what the alternatives are really like and fear of losing what little crappy health care they currently have.

One of my favourite things about SU is how everyone was making those crazy, angst theories about who’s gonna sing Escapism and how we will see some dramatic flashbacks, but in the end it was all just a watermelon.
