Let people grow.

When I was younger I was very right-wing. I mean…very right-wing. I won’t go into detail, because I’m very deeply ashamed of it, but whatever you’re imagining, it’s probably at least that bad. I’ve taken out a lot of pain on others; I’ve acted in ignorance and waved hate like a flag; I’ve said and did things that hurt a lot of people.

There are artefacts of my past selves online – some of which I’ve locked down and keep around to remind me of my past sins, some of which I’ve scrubbed out, some of which are out of my grasp. If I were ever to become famous, people could find shit on me that would turn your stomach.

But that’s not me anymore. I’ve learned so much in the last ten years. I’ve become more open to seeing things through others’ eyes, and reforged my anger to turn on those who harm others rather than on those who simply want to exist. I’ve learned patience and compassion. I’ve learned how to recognise my privileges and listen to others’ perspectives. I’ve learned to stand up for others, how to hear, how to help, how to correct myself. And I learned some startling shit about myself along the way – with all due irony, some of the things I used to lash out at others for are intrinsic parts of myself.

You wouldn’t know what I am now from what I was then. You wouldn’t know what I was then from what I am now.

It distresses me deeply to think of someone dredging up my dark, awful past and treating me as though that furiously hateful person is still me. It distresses me to see others dredging up the past for anyone who has made efforts to become a better person, out of some sick obsession with proving they’re “problematic.”

Purity culture tells you that once someone says or does something, they can never go back on it. That’s a goddamn lie. While it’s true that some remain unrepentant and never change their ways and continue to harm others, it’s important to allow everyone the chance to learn from their mistakes. Saying something ignorant isn’t murder. Please stop treating it that way. Let people grow.

The spirit of a Generation

I was in a mall with my friend and then suddenly his watch started beeping and I asked him why he had an alarm set for 3:00 and he told me that it was because it was Wendy’s time. Immediately after, we found a Wendy’s and when we walked in, all the employees were chanting “Wendy’s time” and it sure was something.

am I sick from anxiety or am I actually physically ill? a memoir by me

Kids who were victims of bullying but don’t let their trauma turn them into a bitter, hateful person 

Guys who come off as nerds but are very protective and fatherly 

Girls who come off as cold and heartless but are actual cinnamon rolls with a soft side

Guys who come off as intimidating brutes but are actually sweethearts who know when to use their strength

Girls who come off as ditzy but are actually geniuses and don’t let their height stop them from wearing what they like

Guys who are wealthy but have zero prejudice despite their social status and aren’t afraid to show off their geeky side

Women who are still cheerful and encouraging despite losing their loved ones

Kids films that come off as silly but have deep, meaningful messages about how to cope with loss and grief

you got rejected by a crush

you get into a car accident

you got stung by a bee/wasp

you got fired from your job

you’re in an earthquake

your tattoo gets infected

your house is on fire

you’re lost in the woods

you get arrested abroad

you get robbed

your partner cheated on you

you’re on a ship that’s sinking

you fall into ice

you’re stuck in an elevator

you hit a deer with your car

you have food poisoning

your pet passed away

you fall off of a horse
