What really blows my mind about Donald Trump is not that he's uneducated, unexperienced, unqualified, and under-committed to be our fucking president. It's that we as a disgustingly shallow and image driven society finally decided to put aside our deeply rooted tradition of overlooking the shamefully ugly and voted for the lumpy, flaming cheeto of a man that is Donald Trump over literally every other person running against him. It's that Americans literally cannot be counted on to even be as shallow as they always fucking are because the thought of a woman winning is that horrendous. Thank you, America. Thank you for letting me the fuck down. Again.

I'm a Christian. I love me some Jesus. But it pisses me off when Christians act surprised when non-Christians are Good People. Like, damn, Martha, some people aren't in a competition to see who can earn the most brownie points with God. Doing a good thing because you feel that's what God would want is nice. Doing a good thing simply because you want to do good is better. It is my practice, as a Christian, to never do anything with the thought "God would want this." Instead, I tell myself that "Good is always good. Right is always right. No matter who is looking." Non-religious people being Good People is proof that humanity isn't fucked just yet.

I ruined my life for a boy. This fact pisses me off every single time I think about it.

I take issue with people who pretend to be LGBTQ because it's "cool." Like bitch it wasn't cool when I got called a dyke in middle school, but whatever, use my sexual identity as a gimmick in your pathetic, consumer-driven life.

I have so much hatred for so many people. I'm honestly a ball of rage. I don't know how to be my old self again.

I saw my ex today, and for one millisecond my brain said "remember when-" but I shut that shit down real quick "-he was a useless, lazy, narcissistic asshat who broke your heart? Yeah I remember that shit."

Me, realizing that I turn 24 in less than 5 months: Jesus, my life is a quarter over. Me, realizing that I'm a quarter of the way closer to death: Nice.

The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.
