Your way of talking to these people and dealing with drama really has gotten so much better. I'm impressed and I can't wait for the zine.
Thank you. Looking back, I realize a lot of my behavior was influenced by my own mental deterioration and that figurative place I was in, which is why I apologized for lashing out, and just generally taking everything seriously. And also the way both tumblr and being young can be: you get swept up in shit that is meaningless. That’s always been a flaw of mine, getting swept up. But I figure hey if a former religion teacher of mine could show me respect I honestly did not deserve and talk to me like I was worth talking to even though we VEHEMENTLY disagreed on MANY things (some that for her were HELLA personal while at the time I was an asshole teenager who felt no empathy nor shame), you know hey, I should be able to do the same for others I disagree with. Even if they hate me, hey, life’s too short to hold grudges and be cruel.
I mean, I’m sure hearing “we all die, death is coming for us all, death is coming, we will die” is not exactly the most pleasant thing but it’s true so like why waste energy on fighting over shit that time and time again has been proven a certain way when you could be making cool shit? It’d be like arguing with a Creationist that evolution exists and the world isn’t 6,000 years old: you know it’s a waste of time, you know you have scientific proof, you know you can literally diagram why they are wrong and MLA cite that shit, but you also know they probably won’t bother listening, so just...offer to talk and let be otherwise. Let them fuss and shout and call you a godless heathen while you go to the museum, check out the rad dinosaur fossils.
