Is it wrong that I want to help my younger sister, who's dad is mentally abusing her all the time, get petty revenge by pissing him off

This use of “half-real” is a bit sarcastic, meaning that having a neutral opinion can, in fact, be something to be proud of - not because you’re anti-conflict, but because you’re pro-perspective, and you believe that every conflict has two sides - two people - two sets of motivations - two sets of emotions - two vulnerable personalities at its core.

"Something, Anything" (2016) - ink and watercolors on 200 gsm A5 paper

I wanted to say something, anything, about all the extrajudicial killings that have been happening recently. I wanted to say something, anything, about how cruel all this is. I wanted to raise even more concern in hopes that it would reach people who can make direct change.

I wanted to say something, anything, about how the depressing amount of deaths covered in cardboard make those deaths blurred and little as they're all slowly bunched together, with no prime suspects.

I wanted to say something, anything about how fortunate most of us are. How most of us are fortunate to be just onlookers of these events and not victims.

But what can we do?

All I can do is say something, anything, but change is still up to them, isn't it?

But surely, our mindset of seeing these deaths as "good", is what we can change by ourselves right now.

Relationships and family

So with Thanksgiving being this week almost everyone is going to be spending time with their family or significant other and their family whether they really want to or not. That's all fine and dandy but hear my problem. I come from a big family or at least when we meet for holidays everyone come into town and all the cousins and stuff are there. For me that's cool I don't get to see them a lot cause they live and other state and the one in state are busy and I work a lot but I love them cause they're my family and for other family is a big deal. Which I guess isn't a problem I'll get to it. Then we have boyfriends and girlfriends hanging out with them. Some people see relationship different but for me if I am dating a girl that makes her family and I honestly would rather spend time with her instead of my own family cause she's who I've chosen to be with and I wanna spend that tome with her. So my problem is one of my friend came home from bootcamp this summer and he wanted only his family there yet he also invited three of his best friends and their families too. I was like cool I'd love to be there when he gets back. A couple days before he got back I was talking to his girlfriend and said I'm looking forward to being at the airport and seeing him and her, cause she my friend and we don't talk a whole lot, and she said she wasn't invited. I was really confused cause if it was me coming back I'm be perfectly happy if just my significant other was the only one there. I would be ecstatic if it was just her and I. Idk that's just me I guess. Sorry about the rant. /end rant.
