why the hell is this world so fucked up?
TW
what is wrong with two humans being in love? its been going on since the beginning of time, i dont see why now its any different. just to amazing humans, fallen deeply in love. what on earth is wrong with that?
what is wrong with someone identifying as their true gender? who mcfucking cares if kayla wants to be a caleb, if theyre happy thats what matters.
why cant you just respect someones pronouns? its a simple thing really, they request you to respect them. do it.
why do people see difference in the color of peoples skin? i mean seriously, its melanin naturally given to people who live closer to the equator you fucking walnuts. [more on this later]
why is rape culture so normalized? 98% of rape cases go unreported. and no, you cant just "move on" or "get over it" i mean what the hell? a woman was raped, she reported it to the police only to not be taken seriously. two days later he murdered her. my grandmother was raped when she was sixteen, only to be told she was asking for it because she was wearing a skirt. a fucking skirt. the man was dismissed and faced no jailtime.
why are divorced parents made out to be fun? i had a friend who said that she wished her parents were divorced because then she would have two houses and two christmas's, i happened to know she had a very healthy family life and her parents love her and each other very much. any child with divorced parents would know that divorce is not fun, it is tragic and a nightmare come to life.
depression is not an aesthetic. i had a friend who was "depressed" i put that in quotes because she was self-diagnosed [i did know that for a fact, but i dont know if her self harm was real. i say that only because i had a different friend who faked self harm and depression for attention.] . actually i had two, a boy and a girl. the boy would constantly send me edits he had made on picsart or whatever, no context, no TW, nothing. these attachments would include knifes, mentions of self harm and suicide, guns, and blood. at that time i was falling in and out of my depression, [clinically diagnosed, please be respectful.] and at the moment those images were very triggering to me. and the girl, oh boy, she used to constantly show me and everyone else her scars. can you understand how retched that made all of the more emotional and sensitive kids feel? to this day i looked back on one of her socials and saw an "aesthetic" depression edit, she used the hashtags #aesthetic and #selfharm and #depression and #sad, what the fuck?
stop romanticizing eating disorders in the media. there was a lot of controversy on the movie "To The Bone" which is basically the story of a girl who has anorexia nervosa and her journey through a ED rehabilitation center, i personally thought it was a gorgeous movie, and to be completely honest.. it didnt do half bad at portraying eating disorders. but in other cases, ive seen quite a few eating disorder journey accounts on instagram, and its really sad that most of the journeys are not recovery. they are the journey into them. a lot of movies that are not entirely focusing on ED's as the plot, do lets say.. a rough job on accurately portraying the struggles.
god i/ll finish this another day, theres so much shit i want to talk about but im so fucking tired. ig this is part 1
