i resent the world that made me fear age and ageing as a woman. each year i grow i find myself more sure of myself and less frightened. though the things that scare me haven’t lessened and my anxiety’s haven’t disappeared, they’re more rational and they’re less harmful to myself and the people i love. i can’t believe the years i spent hating every inch of myself and it hurts to think of myself in that pain again, though life is harder as an adult, I’m so much happier that 15 year old me would never believe it.

hiya this might be a hot take but do not base your positions or morality on guilt. it can, will, and does make you defensive. base your opinions on compassion, reduce the harm you create, and do not spend forever agonizing about things you cannot change. worry about what you can do, care about others, and listen to new ideas and different people. if a person is criticizing something, try to figure out if its an action or an institution. if it’s an action, reflect on whether you participate in it. if its an institution that you are a part of, figure out how you can help to dismantle it. your guilt is unhelpful and worsens both your life and the help you give others, I say this from experience.
