“Girl I just might trust you with my drugs, Trust you with my money”

Trust You
Learning is hard but I also understand how hard it is to unlearn things.
When you are accustomed to allowing things to happen to you because of who someone is, or how old they are, or whatever excuse it is we make nowadays for toxic behavior, it is hard to see that behavior as wrong. It is hard to understand something when it is happening to you even though you could see it happening plain as day to someone else. The maddening part is we simply do it because for so long it has been allowed.
Allowances are another thing I have learned to live with and no longer have any place in my life.
Things become uncomfortable when you stop allowing people to behave whatever way they like with your time. Because to put it simply, that’s what it is. People acting how they would like to regardless of how that makes you feel. That might be hard to read, believe me it was hard to write. It happens to me more than I care to admit. I come to a place where I sacrifice what I feel because other people think it’s the right thing to do. Or the right thing to say or the right thing NOT to say.
The truth is, the only right thing to do is what YOU feel in your heart. Other people may not understand what that entails - be it distance, disagreement, or silence, or anger. But that’s not for them to understand. No one has to “get” your process. It’s YOUR process, and if that is going to get you where you need to be, if it’s going to allow you to find your freedom and happiness - then who cares who doesn’t get it? This isn’t about them, it’s about you.
Life is to short to spin your wheels so people TOLERATE you. The world is too vast to beg for love and acceptance. Because that same world is so large there is also no time for bullshit.
I have too much to do, too much life to live, and too much love to give to spend time loving people who don’t love me. It’s too exhausting to perpetuate the fraud of relationships that don’t exist, or do exist built on a base of “I have to because...”
I don’t have to.... not anymore.
Anime of the day: Mobile Suit Gundam 00
Released: 2007
I would argue that this is my favorite Gundam, it was also kind of my first Gundam so it’s weirdly special to me. I remember watching this on like Syfy or something and it was always on at the weirdest time but I always managed to watch it. The basic idea is that society sucks and this group called “Celestial Being” wants to change the world. To do this they use Gundams. The characters are nice because they aren’t cookie cutter and they all have their own opinions on things. Plus it’s not a straight up war. Celestial Being will pick a fight with anyone who uses weapons. I mean they are like the total opposite of Switzerland. This concept is really an interesting premus to watch play out. I did find parts of season two to be a little more confusing that I originally expected. I also haven’t decided on my feelings toward the movies yet, but I guess I’ll get there.
There are quite a few openings and endings to this anime. I guess I’ll cover the ones I like. "DAYBREAK'S BELL" by L'arc~en~Ciel is the original so it’s an instead classic. “罠" by The Back Horn is the original ending, it’s pretty alright. "Ash Like Snow" by the brilliant green is the second opening, it’s decent. I didn’t like the second ending ("Friends" by Stephanie ). It wasn't bad, it was just meh. I feel like the second season is where the music really kicks it up a notch. "Hakanaku mo Towa no Kanashi" by UVERworld is my personal favorite (it’s easier to find it by artist than song). I love this opening. It’s fire. "Namida no Mukou" by Stereopony is the second season's second opening. It’s good, but not as fire as UVERworld’s. "Prototype" by Chiaki Ishikawa is probably my favorite ending of this anime. I really used to hate this ending, because it would sneak up on me while watching, but I ended up loving it. "Trust You" by Yuna Ito is probably the weakest of the whole lot. I totally forgot how many openings and endings this anime had. Weird.

Laughing all the way..."
