Tell the World @the-world-is-forgetting - Tumblr Blog

I have a lot of strong feelings about Bojack Horseman and I KNOW a lot of people don't watch it because they think the character design is weird (I used to be one of those people). So I've decided my new life goal is to convince as many people who've avoided it due to the art style to watch this fucking show. You won't regret it.

I’ve noticed my website has lost a ton of readers in these past few months. At first, I put it off to my being ill, but I think it is a symptom of, perhaps, something a little more.

I realize that to many who live in other countries, it looks like the population of the United States has lost their marbles. We have an extremely controversial President who has made many of our oldest and truest allies shrink away and shake their heads.

I have been experiencing a growing sense of panic myself, fearing that my country was lost, its democracy dying, and our people decimated by civil war.

While those things could happen, there are still more of us who want to hold onto the things that made the US great (at least it was in our heads). No, we are not a perfect melting pot, we are more like a tapestry woven from all different types of human beings.

We have become a place of scorn to the planet, and perhaps it is well-deserved. Glancing at those who fear globalization and change, one might think we haven’t a snowball’s chance in hell of pulling out of this.

Be assured, if we can’t do so, we the people will win because there are more of us than there are of them.

They have the money to try to pull this shit, but I don’t have anything so what do I have to lose in fighting for what our country was supposed to stand for.

I stated all that to reassure you, and perhaps myself, that there are more people who are completely sane in this country that it might seem at first glance.

There are still millions of us who do not feel anyone who is not white, Christian, straight, and rich are the ones who should be running our country and the world.

We do not think people who have little, are LGBTQ, have another color of skin, or work hard to keep their kids fed are to be despised.

We would never look at another country who would call them “shit hole” and we love those who need our help.

Don’t give up on us. We are working hard to end the bigotry and violence that permeates our American culture right now. Have patience with us. After all, we are only a little over 243 years old while countries in Europe and Asia have existed for thousands of years.

We are experiencing growing pains.

President Trump and his supporters will eventually lose out because hatred is finite. I truly believe my country needed this uncomfortable and tragic era to awaken us to who we are on the inside. Like my brother says, “this country needed an enema.”

Well, hopefully, and with the grace of God, the United States will resurrect herself a stronger, more tolerant, and a better ally than we have ever been.

I would say God bless America, but that would be wrong.

So, I leave you with this final message.

May God bless planet Earth and all who live upon her.

If you’re planning on studying abroad in America

Here’s what you need to know.

1.) GUNS. ARE. REAL. I cannot emphasize how fucking important this is. It doesn’t matter if you live in a big city or a small town anymore. It can happen just about anywhere now. There was a shooting at my own campus and it’s not even a big, well known campus. Seriously I cannot stresshow important it is to acknowledge the fact that yes, guns exist and yes, it can fucking happen. That being said, if you see a gun, RUN. Zigzag patterns. It decreases your chances of being shot.

2.) Weed isn’t legal in every state (yet?). Just be safe and smart. Don’t smoke around people you don’t know and don’t be stupid about it.

3.) Tip. Your. Waitress.

4.) Don’t leave your shit unattended. Not all Americans are greedy but trust me, they exist. And I promise you your shit will get stolen. And no one will help you. Because they will see it as your fault for leaving it unattended. Welcome to America.

5.) Dont be stupid. Seriously, don’t go down any dark alleyways or go anywhere with strangers. Don’t do drugs. Don’t accept any open drinks from anyone. And unfortunately, if you’re female, don’t go out alone at night by yourself. Sexist men and rapists have a tendency to get away with that shit. Look up “Brock Turner” for the best classification of what I’m talking about.

5.) Expect diversity. America is full of a loooooot of different people. White, black, brown, Gay, straight, trans, handicapped, ect. It’s a melting pot of many cultures. Use this experience to gain knowledge about others and educate people about your own culture.

6.) No, you don’t need a license or a special permit to ride a bike.

7.) KNOW. YOUR. RIGHTS. I’m not saying all cops are corrupt but...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

8.) Portion sizes are different.

9.) Freedom comes with a price. You have the chance to express yourself in however the fuck you want. You can dress how you want to, dye your hair and get tattoos, smoke and drink, ect. But at the same time, guns are real, the government is corrupt, and money lets a lot of crimes slide. On one hand, you have the freedom to do things. On the other, others have freedoms that could potentially harm you.

10.) Do NOT buy the gas station sushi.

11.) Walmart is a gift from the corporate gods.

12.) People are not afraid of voicing their opinions and making people uncomfortable. You’ve been warned.

13.) Do NOT get a fake ID. If you’re under 21, just get someone to buy the alcohol for you. You get caught with that shit and your school will not hesitate to deport you back to your home country.

14.) PDA is everywhere. Hand holding, cuddling, light kisses, heavy making out, and yes even sex. For some this is quite a shock. Just don’t pay any attention to it and keep going about your day.

15.) Dont call an ambulance. Call Uber or Lyft. Just trust me. Unless you can afford to pay the $500.00 bill for using the fucking ambulance don’t use it. And going to any kind of medical place is expensive as hell so use it wisely.

16.) Not everyone is selfish.

17.) Not everyone is nice.

18.) If you get pulled over by a policeman, DO NOT GET OUT OF THE CAR. Wait until the officer comes to your window and make sure to hand them all the correct information they asks for (usually drivers license, insurance papers, registration, and passport if you’re a foreigner). I know in some countries you get off of the car and hand the officer your lisence. DO NOT DO THIS. YOU WILL GET SHOT.

19.) If you go to any sort of house/frat party, expect drugs. Do not take them. I’m serious.

20.) Most colleges and university have some sort of mental health help. Please use it if you need it. If there is a stigma for getting help with mental issues and you’re worried or hesitant to go, remember that this is America and it’s very common for people (especially students) to get some form of help. There is nothing wrong with asking for help when you’re feeling low, especially when experiencing culture shock.

21.) Prepare for snow.

22. Get a cellphone with an American number. You’ll thank me later.

Feel free to add any.

You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. That’s the only thing you should be trying to control.

Dance of Dalliance

At one point in life we all dance the dance of dalliance. We dance it clearly, casually. We dance it when we’re young and we dance it when we’re old. We dance it when we simply need some stranger just to hold. And in the midst of a brief dance, our eyes connect with other souls. But as with any brief occasion, we soon move on to other places. For a dance of dallaince is not a novel, but a short poem.
