Most important lesson I learned in the past year is, don’t let anyone turn you cruel. No matter how badly you wanna give the world a taste of its own bitter medicine. It’s never worth losing yourself over.

Okay did anyone else also have this same VERY SPECIFIC safe food breakfast ritual? Kashi cereal seems to be a staple of disordered eating? (i made mine with almond milk and minus the coffee but with the banana)

[Image Description: a hand-drawn diary comic from @kevin-budnik. The text reads “This is a particularly vivid memory. I’m sitting at the breakfast bar in my parents’ kitchen eating cereal. There were only a few foods I would eat - This very specific cereal with sugar free soy milk and a banana and coffee was the breakfast I had to eat every morning or else my morning ritual would be off. My mom made sure to have it in the house. it’s the only way she knew how to help.” The last panel features an image of Kashi brand cereal and soy milk.]

i will die defending the idea that humans are not inherently evil and that its corrupt governments/corporations/establishments in society that are evil, not humanity as a whole. our species survival has always hinged on our ability to care about each other and to help one another, the violence of capitalism is not natural and humans are a hugely social species we NEED to make connections to keep living!!!! we need to make connections and interact with other people in order to thrive and touch starvation is an example of what happens when were denied these interactions. ancient humans took care of their disabled, elderly, and sick people because they cared about them. we have always cared and we always will and we need to keep nuturing that loving and caring nature that is within the whole human race
