1001 Grams (2014)

apparently it’s easier to talk shit about how i’m not a good friend rather than talk to me and give me a chance to do something.

i wish people would give me the benefit of the doubt and talk to me...like this past year wasn’t hard on everyone. this just makes me want to try even less....and it just feels exhausting and sad.

what’s the point of having people in your life if all you’re going to do is disappoint them?

not to be that person but in a time where productivity and instant gratification is maximized constantly and everything you do is expected to benefit you in some way, taking time for yourself and taking care of yourself is the most important thing in the world. like take time for slow living…wake up at noon and take time to watch your favourite movies and start the books you keep saying that you’ll read eventually… not everything needs to happen instantly or have some outcome that furthers your career or life in some way. like. relax. eat what you want and laugh a lot. love everyone around you. i think the world would be happier & a better place to live in

i made a registry at BB&B and Amazon, but i feel bad telling people.

at least here no one really knows me anymore.

My wound is not your thought experiment.

Before you jump in with lectures and lessons and explanations,

Before you play devil’s advocate or the contrarian angle or “all sides” or “nuance” or you point out the rare exception,

Before you start quoting (generalized one-sided) stats and facts and numbers,

Before you tell someone how they should feel and they need to “calm down” and “be more loving,”

Before you send videos from contradictory talking points of people who have no business speaking on what they’re speaking on,

Before you throw immediate suspicion to “wait for all the evidence” when what you’re really saying is that your mind is already made up,

Before you spiritualize or moralize or politicize or philosophize,

Before you say “what about what about what about”—

Lean in and listen.

If you dismiss pain,

you are dismissing a whole life.

If you dismiss a whole life,

you will never see their pain.

You know how you want to be treated. How you want your mother, father, brother, sister, children, to be treated. You already know. Don’t invalidate that dignity simply because it is someone else, someone “other.” Do not erase the Image of God in someone simply because you cannot see it: it is already and always there.

Listen. Look. Enter in the wound. Would this awareness make you come alive with action, for justice and compassion.

My pain is not your sandbox to build your castle and throne. You enter my pain when you enter my home.

My wound is not your thought experiment.
