when it’s hard for you to say no in the first place and when you do the people around you go “are you sure? why? you’re really sure? I just don’t understand. I was sure you would like to do this!”
That feeling when you finally find the title of a book you read in 5th grade, after being tormented by bits and snippets of memories that you pieced together like some kind of book detective while your family thinks you’re crazy for rambling about something that you can’t describe, and suddenly you stumble across it and that itch in your brain is satisfied.
The fear of reading a book you’ve been exceedingly excited about for awhile because what if it isn’t as good as you thought or you don’t want to let go of the anticipation or you don’t want the first time you read it to be over.
does anyone else ever feel guilty for not being mentally ill enough? like your anxiety or depression fucks you up but then you have good days and you’re productive and it’s like, wow clearly I was faking it bc look at me! I’m fine! and then you feel guilty for wasting everyone’s time
This is exactly why mental illness should not be a contest. People should not be guilt tripped into thinking they have to feel bad all the time; it’s extremely anti recovery. It’s okay to get better and it’s okay to have good days.
Taylor Steele captures the problem with appropriating Black slang.
In her poem “AAVE” (which stands for African-American Vernacular English) Taylor Steele explains why appropriation of Black slang is the worst.

“They’re afraid of losing friends, being ridiculed in class, getting worse grades and are even afraid of being assaulted and physically hurt.”
good
no, not good. because if we hate them as much as Trump and his supporters hate certain groups, we are no better than they are.
yeah I am
“if you hate these bigots you’re just as bigoted as they are”
This “we’re no better than them” mentality makes the critical mistake that hate itself is the problem.
Hate is not the problem. At all. Hate can be constructive. Hate can be defensive and come from righteous outrage.
The problem is irrational hate towards innocent people.
Hating a racist is COMPLETELY fucking different from hating a race. A whole race didn’t do anything wrong. A racist did. Hating the racist is 100% proportionate, justifiable retaliation.
