You can support something's right to exist and still personally find it weird/offputting/not understand it.
So many people act like to be respectful or supportive of something you have to throw your whole soul into enjoying or understanding it, and that's really not what it's about.
Sometimes, being supportive really is just;
"I find this strange as hell but you enjoy it and I'll support your right to enjoy it."

i’m gonna hold your hand with a glove on when i say this
when disabled/chronically ill people tell you they can’t do something, then that is not your cue to tell them that they can actually or that they’ll always find an excuse if they’re looking for one.
when a disabled/chronically ill person says they can’t do something, sometimes that doesn’t mean it’s outside the realm of possibility, sometimes it means if they (attempted to) do that, they will seriously hurt themselves.
when a disabled/chronically ill person says they can’t do something, sometimes it’s preventative care, and they refuse to do that thing to prevent a flare up from happening/their symptoms getting worse in the first place.
disabled/chronically ill people are not “looking for excuses”, they are giving you reasons why. something they don’t even have to do! so maybe just accept the reasons they give you.

The worst thing is that there is so much potential for exploring the horror of psych wards from the angle of medical abuse, ableism, forced treatment/drugging, loss of autonomy, power imbalance, demonization, dehumanization, etc, and YET the horror genre keeps defaulting to "insane asylums and psych wards are scary because there are mentally ill people in there"

I hope you believe that you can still make a beautiful life for yourself even if you lost many years of it to grief, or darkness, depression, or a wound that wouldn't close.

things to notice
little things about someone that make you love them
the cinematography of a movie
people who get talked over or excluded
mix of colours in the sky
cute things people do without realizing
a friend who has been a little distant lately
the background sounds around you
the difference between someone’s real and fake smile
strangers who look sad and alone
the place your mind always drifts back to
