I speak up on what I think is right. Apparently these days being a better person is to be "triggered" or an "sjw" if you don't like that people are changing for the better and don't have time for bull-- don't read, don't actively seek out things you don't like. Simple edit 2020 / a collection of random rants from a teenage wanna be, as I grew many of my thoughts changed. some for the better others were realizing that there's a bigger picture outside of race, feminism, and politics.
