Random thoughts at 11pm but it's fucked up how the internet tries and takes away from a person's humanity. And even KIDS humanity. Like, there is no room for mistakes. Because if you make a mistake and your on the internet then people are going to call you out and expect your life to be ruined.
I think we have to understand that sometimes mistakes effect other people, sometimes they affect them really badly. And it's sad but there is nothing we can do to fix it after the fact. All we can do is say sorry, try to make up for it anyway that we can, and improve on ourself.
Yes we have to hold people accountable but we have to leave room for someone to grow.
And like it's worrying, because sometimes I see call-out posts go around for people as young as 16 and man, they're frontal lobe is still developing! I'm 16 and my frontal lobe is still developing!!! If I fuck up I don't expect people to make call-out posts, I expect people to tell me and be patient with me about what I did wrong cus fuck man! I'm 16! And I think people should do that with other people, even if they are older.
This is not me saying you have to be responsible about every person fucking up. Take care of yourself first. But I think some of us need a little more empathy as we encounter things like this. Like if you see someone trying to improve and you say they haven't because you bring up something they did in the past that they regret, then maybe you're being a problem here. We're all human and we make mistakes big or small. Just leave some room to grow
