Why are romantic relationships valued way more than platonic relationships? You telling me I have to pretend I'm not hurt because the bond I've spent my whole life building with my sibling is being placed lower than hers with her partner?
You telling me I have to be okay with that?

The answer to questions I get every time. It's ironic, actually.
"Bakit ka lagi mag-isa? Bakit di ka nag-sosocialize? May problema ka ba? "

Although I love the community interaction and the fun, I don’t think I can accept any more DPxDC prompts for the time being. It’s been getting harder and harder to come with meaningful responses to them. And I know I could probably just post them as is, but providing commentary and adding onto them is my favorite part of receiving them. I’m just a bit burnt out I guess haha. My asks will still be open, and you send me DP related stuff and requests, but I ask y’all to not send anymore prompts for a while, at least until I feel better. I’ll be adding that info to my pinned post(glad I have that now lol). I still got like…around 10? Maybe more DPxDC prompts in my ask box that I haven’t answered yet, and it’s definitely eating me up inside as well. Idk, just. Idk

I AM A DIVINE CREATURE
MY BONES CREAK LIKE ROTTED BOARDS
I STOMP WITH A HEAVY FOOT UP THE STAIRS OF THIS PLACE
AND REMEMBER THE RED THAT STAINED THESE WALLS
WILL I EVER FORGET THE SMELL
I CAN’T ESCSPE IT
NOT EVEN IN MY DREAMS

Stop guilt-tripping & virtue signaling
I literally unfollowed a mutual for saying that “watching the Superbowl is being pro-Israel” and “how could we watch/do something fun when Gaza/Palestine is being bombed.” Like you’ve got to be kidding me.
Firstly, I’m guessing that 99% of people who watched the Superbowl weren’t watching it specifically because they’re pro-Israel.
Secondly, the bombs are going to be dropped whether people watched the Superbowl or not.
Thirdly, people are allowed to enjoy things. Doomscrolling and obsessing over death and destruction doesn’t help anyone.
Fourthly, there is very little that civilians can do to stop a foreign government from doing anything. As someone living in America, there isn’t anything I do to stop my own country from being horrible.
Humans were never meant to process information from all around the world every minute of every day like we do, let alone about atrocities and genocide on a regular basis.
In before: This doesn’t mean “stop caring and stop paying attention altogether.” I mean that people are allowed to take a break.

one of the most sick things i have realized in the ppl around me who are still catholic, is how much they are plagued with catholic guilt. a girl who won't get surgery bc she believes its punishment for her sins. ppl who are nearly suicidal in their desire for heaven, and since heaven is coming, they do nothing to change their situation. they dont try to improve their lives or others or the planet bc at the end of the day this is a "fallen world" and "heaven is waiting." it is so sick to drill into a persons head since theyre a child that they were born evil, that they need god to fix them, they need god to sustain them, as if it wont affect their mental state at all as adults. my little cousins who have already shown signs of having anxiety about god, like asking if he'll be mad at them/their parents for doing normal, human things. like really being afraid of what that would mean. my opinion and love for this world and its people shifted sp drastically when i realized i could just stop. i could stop being afraid of god. i could stop thinking we all deserved to burn in a lake of eternal fire. who even makes a lake of eternal fire anyway? that very much does not sound like a me problem. when i left the church, i very much still believed in hell, and i very much believed it was a place i would go, and would deserve to go. but i chose it anyway. i chose the eternal torture, because who does a thing like eternal torture? if god would torture me forever, than that wasn't someone i wanted to associate with, consequences be damned. and slowly, i started to see the world differently. i know the world is on fire, and theres a few too many genocides occuring at the moment, and i do truly have it in me to detest forever the people who hurt innocent people. but still, desite it all, despite everything, i think we're good. yes, we do bad things, but at the end of the day, most of us just want to go home, and cuddle our pets/loved ones, and eat a good meal, and look at the stars and dream. we're not so different, and we're not so bad. idk where i was going with all this exactly, but i think the cure to catholic guilt is choosing to believe in the good. catholism says goodness can only come from god, and thats why were damned. but i think we *are* good. even despite all the reasons ppl give me on the contrary. bc i see ppl wish happy holidays to strangers, holidays they dont celebrate themselves, just to see them happy. i see strangers go out of there way to help people every single day. bc most of us understand that we all just want the same things, and are willing to help each other get them. we arent evil, and bad things arent some divine punishment, sometimes things just suck. the cure to catholic guilt, i think, is a love that can outcompete the divine.
