#I deserved better.

It’s very hard to reconcile memories of someone being a positive presence in your life when the downturn was so sudden. One second I had a friend whose love for me I thought was genuine and trusting and then that fell apart so quickly and completely I had no idea it was even happening before it was too late bc of irrational fears inside their head I couldn’t have foreseen or even known about and all of that fell on me and their anxiety became a justification to treat me so fucking badly and I just couldn’t handle that bc I’m only human
#it’s easy to fall into self blame but when my friends and my therapist are firmly telling me#that things should never have reached that point#that their unwillingness to handle conflict evenly or maturely or even just care about actually resolving it#rather than taking out whatever trauma filled ball of punishment as irrational self protection against shadows on me#made the situation unsalvageable bc my care made Leaving impossible even while I was being mistreated#things didn’t have to be this way and if they actually wanted me as a friend they would have communicated and fought for me#instead of self justifying their own delusional image of me to keep their innocence stable#I deserved better from someone who called me their firmest friend#I deserved better.#it’s also just like profoundly fucking obvious the transmisogynistic bias informing this they won’t ever examine#expecting someone to be literally perfect under duress and mistreatment is one thing#but having so much of it be wrapped in fear of being ‘unsafe’ bc of my assumed emotions is uh#being condescended to about consent multiple times based on their own irrational assumptions and overreaction is uhhh#being the obvious disposable one with a clear parallel of someone else in their life they treated a similar way is uhhhhhhhhh#it’s blindingly obvious who gets the benefit of the doubt and who doesn’t#who is automatically considered the aggressor and who isn’t#I LOVE BEING ONTOLOGICALLY CAPABLE OF HARM#Sucks dude#personal

I think so many people are so deeply alienated from themselves that they have no clue how to exercise their free will and autonomy. For some, this alienation runs so deep that they are afraid of their own autonomy and humanity. It is completely understandable why one would have those feelings, but it can be worrisome.
I want to help others who feel this way, so here are small things I have done to exercise my free will:
Add "guilty pleasure" songs to playlists and actually listen to them (I have a ton of late 1990s-early 2000s music I listen to now proudly that I never listened to in the past out of shame)
Getting the décor item, bath set, bed spread, ect. in the patterns you like, even if it's "childish" (I got a dinosaur-themed wastebasket from the kids' décor section and I adore it)
Taking a new route to get to a place you go to often
Eat dessert first
Celebrate well, and often
Collect things that are "odd" or don't seem like an "acceptable" thing to collect (somebody on my "for you" page collects dandelion crayola crayons and it was so cool!!!!!!)
Incorporate one new piece in an outfit you wear frequently (e.g., a new chain, a necklace, ribbons, bracelets, ect.). Challenge yourself to add onto the outfits if you feel up for it.
Sing along to songs without worrying that you sound "good" or your intonation is completely accurate
Read a book from a genre you weren't allowed to read as a kid (comics, thrillers, mysteries, anything!)
Walk without having a specific destination or goal
Pick up a new craft without expecting yourself to master it or to ever be "good" enough. Get your hands messy.
I don't want to shame anybody for not feeling as though they have free will or that they are exempt from exercising it. However, I wanted to give ideas so that you might read this list and find your own ways to express your intrinsic autonomy and will. You deserve to be a person, to feel alive, not just living. That is what our lives are for.

“If you want more representation” okay but what if they did a better job than all the other actors???
Like, with PJO Rick didn’t go “only black people can audition for Annabeth!! Grover has to be Indian! Zeus has to be black!”
No, the actors auditioned, did a good job, and got the gig.
Like instead of crying cause all these white actors didn’t get it, ask yourself if they even deserved the position.
Everything isn’t some “woke” propaganda or “more representation.” They just deserved the job.
