Hey guys. I'm not sure if anyone checks on my profile anymore but in case you do I'm gonna explain my absence. For the past year and a half I've been struggling with self image issues and constant self-depreciation. It got to a point where it took all the fight and passion out of me and everything I was doing. Of course, that includes my writing. Every time I even opened a document to edit, let alone write, I'd look at it and feel instant hatred and disappointment with myself and I'd close it immediately. It made it worse that I was constantly saying that I would update and progress and then not, which was even harder on me. 
          	
          	Needless to say, I was a damn mess for a while, and my stories sat at the bottom of my Google Docs list untouched. Ideas that looked friggin fantastic just were left unfinished and unrealized. Now that I'm in my senior year I'm trying to kick myself into high gear, which includes getting my stories back on track. I have my three originals pulled out, old WriterRaiders material I'm going to rework, and ideas that never got past the drawing board that I am so excited to share with you all. I have organized a list on what to work on in what order and I'm going to try my hardest to complete it. To those of you that have been looking at my profile (I doubt there are many, if any at all), thank you for caring enough to look. my mental health is back on track and so am I.
          	
          	Love you all. Happy writing.

          If you make fun of "haha tr*ggered liberals are crying because big bad trump got elected!!!!", you are an awful person, unkind, and you are excusing racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and ableism.
          
          Families are at risk of being split apart, lovers are in risk of having their marriage rights not be recognized, religious freedom is being questioned, and that's just what TRUMP has done.
          
          Trump's supporters have excused and mocked sexual assault and rape, they have beaten and harassed immigrants, trans people, gay people, and women. Trump being elected makes these people feel like they have a pass for this bigotry to continue unchecked. At school, since Trump's election, I've probably heard "faggot" about thirty times a day. Mixed kids and POC are being told to go back to their country. Signs have gone up mocking feminism, signs have gone up insulting victims of sexual assault, and signs have gone up insulting people's genders and sexual orientation.
          
          We aren't crying because we're "disappointed" or because we're "babies". We're crying because we're scared, and sad for our friends, and sad for the bigotry that we're seeing from the society that elected this man.

Reminders for Coming Out Day (which is today):
          
          - Don't feel pressured to come out if you don't feel totally safe and secure doing so.
          - Don't feel like you have to put a definite label on to come out! Romantic and sexual orientations and even genders may change as you find out who you are, so don't worry about it! If you feel okay coming out under your current label, don't worry if it changes.
          - Allies: don't out someone without their EXPRESS PERMISSION. You aren't doing them a favor. If they haven't come out yet, there's a reason. And it's not your story to tell.
