I really hate the whole “respect is earned, not given” because I feel like you should respect strangers who haven’t done anything to you… so maybe we should replace it with “malice is earned, not given.”

quasi-normalcy

This is a better sentiment. Assume that everyone is worthy of respect until they, by their words and actions, show that they’re actually just a complete jerkass.

I know it sounds fake but you really do have a lot of silent lovers on this planet who look at you and wish they had your smile or your hair color or your humor or your intellect or your intentions or your heart, your manners, your eyes, your ease, even just you. People who are too shy to tell you what they admire about you or what they wish for you or who they see themselves becoming bc of you & they’re too shy to tell you. even tho it isn’t verbalized, the universe has still heard and the universe has loved you for helping out on its creations. You’re that person. You’re you.
