Donât be a jerk to people who just want to have fun. Let them explore new interests and hobbies without fear of being called out!
So what if youâre interested in figure skating because of Yuri on Ice? Go for it!!!
Want to exercise some more because Saitama from One Punch Man made it look cool? Awesome!!!
You want to become a mangaka because of Bakuman? You go get your dreams!
Donât be that person to shut down someoneâs interests because their reasons are associated with nerdy/geeky things. At least theyâre out here garnering a new interest and having fun while youâre on the internet harrassing people for no good reason. Just saying.
I love being horribly straightforward. I love sending reckless text messages (because how reckless can a form of digitized communication be?) and telling people I love them and telling people they are absolutely magical humans and I cannot believe they really exist.
I love saying, Kiss me harder, and Youâre a good person, and, You brighten my day. I live my life as straight-forward as possible.
Because one day, I might get hit by a bus.
Maybe itâs weird. Maybe itâs scary. Maybe it seems downright impossible to just beâto just let people know you want them, need them, feel like, in this very moment, you will die if you do not see them, hold them, touch them in some way whether its your feet on their thighs on the couch or your tongue in their mouth or your heart in their hands.
But there is nothing more beautiful than being desperate.
And there is nothing more risky than pretending not to care.
We are young and we are human and we are beautiful and we are not as in control as we think we are. We never know who needs us back. We never know the magic that can arise between ourselves and other humans.
We never know when the bus is coming.
my point is like.. NO kid asked to be born, they had no control over it, it isnât something they had any power in, and the very LEAST you can do, if you bring a child into the world, is to let them feel loved and supported and make it clear that they have every right to be here and be loved and succeed.. itâs.. youâre obligated. sorry. thereâs no excuse for treating a child like theyâre a burden and verbally conveying that to them and/or giving off that message w/ yr actions and approach to interaction w/ them.. every child deserves far better than being made to feel like their existence is a burden or a mistake. bc it isnât.Â
One thing Iâve learned: when people end whatever theyâre saying with âidk, Iâm probably not making any sense,â it usually means they are telling you something very close and personal to them, something thatâs such an integral part of their being that they have trouble putting it into words that do it justice.
