there’s this school of thought i didn’t realize i knew until recently, and i call it Mormon Politeness

one of the ideas in mormonism is this - if you’re not happy, you must be sinning. if you’re unhappy, god is not blessing you with the Holy Spirit in your life because you are doing something Wrong. and so you find things to be happy about. you find the joy in little things, and you cling on to them for dear life. you can’t grieve, you can’t hurt, you can’t be too angry or sad or morose or anything to that effect, because otherwise you are rejecting God’s Gifts and His Presence in your life. and so you find every silver lining. you create this aura of contentedness. you work to spin every issue into a lesson. you can only show Righteous Pity for those less fortunate, financially or spiritually. so you don your airs of Mormon Politeness. 

and without darkness you will never know light, and without pain you will never know joy. when you try to paint every shadow with sunshine, turn every injury into a thing to cherish, the lines blur, and you lose the differences between emotions.

Fun fact Zionism is an inherent aspect of the Mormon belief system and trying to debate a Mormon about Palestine will get you absolutely nowhere, even if they never bring up Zion as a concept or they claim they don't support Israel. Source? I just had an exhausting argument with my Mormon mother and I want to scream 👍

Tithing was a thing manipulated from me by adults in positions of authority above me. Is there precedence for being reimbursed for money “gifted” under duress?

A little reminder for any fellow selfshippers with learning disabilities. Your f/o's love you so, so much. They love you not in spite of your learning disabilities, but alongside them. This goes double for those f/os who value or excel in academics. They do not and will never think less of you for whatever difficulties you may face in learning and in life. They don't think you're stupid, incompetent, or anything of the sort. They know that your brain struggles to process certain kinds of information, and they're more than willing to offer guidance, assistance or moral support should you ever wish for it.

You have a beautiful mind, and your f/os wouldn't change it for the world. They love you, all of you, in your entirety.
