15 year old me meeting 20 year old me

15 year old me: So, did you get into the school of your dreams? Do you have a boyfriend or girlfriend, I don’t know? Do you a drivers’ license? Do you have a car? Did you move out? Are you happy with your life? 20 year old me:

I was feeling nostalgic and was scrolling through my old tumblr and stumbled across this post I reblogged 7 years ago. At 20, my life was definitely not where I hoped it would be at 15, but now at 26 I can tell my younger self:

We got into the undergraduate program of our dreams after going to community college for 2 years, we are getting married next summer to a kind and handsome man, we have our drivers license and our own car! We did move out and had our own apartment in San Diego for a few years, but we moved back home with our parents because we got into medical school in our hometown and are achieving our ultimate goal of being a physician! And most importantly- we are SO happy with our life.

“When you find yourself drowning in self-hate, you have to remind yourself that you weren’t born feeling this way. That at some point in your journey, some person or experience sent you the message that there was something wrong with who you are, and you internalized those messages and took them on as your truth. But that hate isn’t yours to carry, and those judgments aren’t about you. And in the same way that you learned to think badly of yourself, you can learn to think new, self-loving and accepting thoughts. You can learn to challenge those beliefs, take away their power, and reclaim your own. It won’t be easy, and it won’t happen over night. But it is possible. And it starts when you decide that there has to be more to life than this pain you feel. It starts when you decide that you deserve to discover it.”

As someone who ran into the glue at 23rd st while trying to commute home during the protest I can tell you that:

1) there was a sign encouraging you not to swipe or get glue on your card and that

2) the emergency exit door was open so you could either walk onto the platform or hop the turnstile to still access the train

The protesters left you with a choice: become a fare evader (supporting the protest) or leave. But they didn’t stop access to the subway as a utility.

I see a lot of outrage in the comments about inconveniencing people on their commute home but consider whose commute under “normal” circumstances – under police surveillance – are inconvenienced by police.

Are you upset because you’re not someone who usually has to think about if you’ll be singled out for doing the same thing as everyone else?

Did the protests make you experience the thing that, oh, they were protesting against?

Hey, then they worked.

And if you don’t like it, well, the next subway stop is 5 blocks away. How convenient for you that this impediment was a one day, one stop friction in your life and not a constant threat.

And before anyone complains about how the protest impacted disability accessibility, 23rd st doesn’t have an elevator or other accessibility options. Let’s start with critiquing the institutional access first, shall we?
