Something that I really dislike is the fact that society seems to think that you have to be either a tomboy or a girly girl. You can't be a mix of both. And I hate that anyone who likes things considered "girly" are deemed weak or made fun of. I'm one of those people that's a mix. And I had some guy friends in the past who would make fun of me when my "girly" side came out. Like if I ever mentioned heels that I wanted to get or if I started singing some Taylor Swift song, they would poke fun at me for it. But they'd never do the same thing if I mentioned a video game I wanted to play. Or if I'd talk about anything that's considered to be "for guys." It honestly felt like they wanted me to BE a guy or even forgot that I am a girl who likes things that are traditionally labeled as "girly." 
          	
          	I've also been putting quotation marks around phrases like "girly" or "for guys" because I personally believe that these things shouldn't be kept for a specific group of people. I want it to be normal for guys to like things traditionally for girls and for girls to like things traditionally for guys. It shouldn't make someone less of a woman for liking things a lot of guys like just like how it shouldn't make someone less of a man for liking things a lot of girls like. And it makes me deeply sad to see that society doesn't agree with that sentiment. And back to people labeling "girly" things as weak, that's something that doesn't sit right with me either. Why is it considered weak to have pink as your favorite color? Or to wear dresses and makeup? Or to like things like Barbie and Dork Diaries? At the end of the day, liking certain things does not determine how weak or strong you are. I wish more people understood that. Sorry for my little rant, it's just a thought I've been having lately.

I just wanted to share a verse I remembered today! You don't have to read it if you don't want to, free will was given to you for a reason :) 
          
          "The second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself." (Mark 12:31) 
          
          This one is basically another way of saying "Treat others as you'd want to be treated." We're called to love everyone, even those who hate us or have hurt us. I feel like this is one of the commandments that some people like to throw around and claim to live by, but never truly do. It's one that sounds easy on paper, but is difficult to live out, especially with people who have hurt you or that you don't like. Trust me, sometimes I struggle to follow this one too. It's easier to dislike someone who has wronged you. But at the end of the day, we're called to love everyone. It's so much healthier for the heart to let go of grudges as well. 
          
          Forgiveness is another huge part of that. Now that DOES NOT mean that you HAVE to completely forget what someone has done and be friends with someone who has hurt you or even interact with them. But you can pray for them and give the situation to God. God will help that person and He will help you get through whatever remains from what they did. It may take time, but He will heal you. No matter how long it takes. 
          
          There's definitely more that I could add to this, but that'd make this message way too long. Thank you for your time. I love you all so much and Jesus loves you much more :D

I'm getting real tired of these bot comments

Hi, we're running a promotional survey on the dangers of Mike Hawk's studies. Professor Oxlong at STFU says that these studies could dangerously affect the developmental growth of minors suffering from ligma.

What is this new scam happening? A lot of times when I upload a new chapter of a fanfiction, I get some kind of comment from someone claiming they're an artist, offering to do a commission based on my story because they're "so moved" and it made them "so emotional," and then give me their Discord. It's happening on Quotev too. Each account is created maybe a day prior and do this to a bunch of different accounts. I had someone comment something like this underneath one of my quizzes on Quotev too. They said that they liked my "fanfiction" (again, it was a quiz). It's only started happening recently for me. What is going on?

@HetaliaPerson12 I figured it was something like that, I just don't understand why it's happening so suddenly. I've never had anything like this until about a month or two ago. It reminds me of those bots on TikTok that say stuff like, "[Random account] helped me get my account back!" like what is even happening on the internet this year

@brennasavvy they're just bots. they scam you and waste your time, and are programmed to say stuff like that.
