Normalize seeing someone's lack of effort as their lack of interest in you regardless of what they tell you. Giving you all of the right words, but none of the right actions is called manipulation. If a person wants to be with you, they prove it. Period.

so many people want to be angry. they're scrambling for reasons to be angry. and with some of them it doesn't matter who they hurt in the process.

i know shit is tough. but there’s no excuse to lash out at others. if you see yourself in this post, it’s time to stop and evaluate your life.

i can convince myself anyone deserves to be mistreated. i am also unshakable in my belief that i'm pure of heart and objectively a good person <- how you guys sound to me

Do not really know what to say. A year ago we were making posts about how Gaza was being bombed through Christmas- how the oldest Christian community was being bombed- how the birth place of Jesus was being destroyed and his people murdered. A year later, it is going to be Christmas again soon, and the bombings have not stopped. But the news, and the attention seems to have died down considerably. It feels terrible and scary.

really devastating to realize that my belief that “there are some things you can never to do to another person, regardless of who they are and what they’ve done, because they are a person” is held by so few people. they aren’t upset by the unjustifiable, they’re simply unhappy that it happens to the ‘wrong people.’

what level of brainrot am I on

I'm realizing I apologize for taking a long time to do something a lot. Maybe the ADHD diagnosis *is* accurate and I'm not secretly neurotypical.
