this is so important please read... listen to me. no fr just
listen. put aside all your hate and get rid of the tension. you
dont like someone because they're differet than you? because they
grew up different and talk different, they look different than you?
they dont have the same clothes as you, maybe they dont even speak
the same language as you...so what? Ya. okay so we're all
different. this world is so beautiful because of the diversity in
it..honestly i love it. i hope we never get rid of it. i pray we
can all learn to love each other. i pray all those you hate, one
day you'll call brother. i wish things were just perfect. i wish
kids like us didnt die..our generation its like all we do is cry.
how many of your friends have committed suicide? how many times
have YOU tried? how many times have you laid awake at night, tear
stains on your pillow as you quietly cried? ya i know, because ive
been there too, im right there with you..all we can really do is
get through..its hard. you cant see the light and its like the
whole 🌎 is just dark like night....so when will we stop? stop
putting each other down..maybe create someones smile today instead
of making them frown. maybe tell someone you love them twice
instead of just once..maybe give an extra hug...maybe spend that
extra minute with the ones you love..just slow down..its not big
things...its really just the little things that can make the big
difference. create love today, lets make everyone shine...with all
this darkness, i know, you really gotta grind. ya Its not easy to
be the only one...you feel all alone tryna shine bright like the
sun when all they wanna do is put you down..but just try it...i
swear we can make a difference...all we have to do is apply it. Its
so simple really...we have to live it..going back to the golden
rule..we cant give in. Be different, lets just be ourselves...and
except each other for it..we should respect each other for it..ill
stand beside my enemy because I have to admit it...i wanna leave
this world better than before i was in it. 💓🌎💓
i can't hide it anymore.
i am insecure. i overthink. things bother me. i am not the cool girl. i am not the girl who can just laugh it off and smile it away. i am not the low maintenenance, laid back chick where everything stays "casual". i am not the girl who doesn't need reassurance every once in a while that she's good enough because the thought that maybe she isn't never crosses her mind. sometimes things are hard with me. sometimes i have doubts. sometimes i get upset, i get jealous, i cry, i throw fits. sometimes i have desires. sometimes i have emotions. that doesn't make me crazy. sometimes i'm human. just because i can be difficult sometimes does not mean that i am not worth it.

Stop telling little boys
they are invalid
because they display ‘feminine’ qualities. Like softness is not a quality shown by men at all. Like sensitivity is a thing to be regarded with disgust and unkindness.
Stop telling them that they become less when they express emotion. Do not them that it doesn’t matter when boys show emotion, that they deserve to be ignored when they do. Do not dismiss their tears to toughen them up and turn their feelings into a joke because that is how you create sociopaths.
Stop saying, ‘You punch like a girl’ or ‘Yeah, that was all right…for a girl’. And stop telling your sons their tears make them girls – as though being a girl is the worst thing in the world. When the truth is being a girl is no different from being a boy when they are both just human beings.
Stop demeaning them by making the word ‘woman’ or ‘girl’ a method to control their behavior, a reason to bottle their emotions and instead be volatile and display violent behavior. Stop teaching them to bully each other until they are macho and man up. And the ones of them who do not fit into this ideal are effeminate as if that is a curse.
I wish society would stop telling little boys that showing emotion is the same thing as being a girl. And being a girl is the same thing as being weak.
Instead, never let your sons forget where their essence was just formed, when their bodies were most vulnerable, they were protected by the womb of a woman. If they ever call all women weak, remind them of the strength of their mother who pulled her whole body apart to give theirs a home.
Instead, teach them how to be kind regardless of their gender. Teach them how women and men are strong in their own ways. Teach them to respect the attributes they admire as one human to another.
Instead, raise boys who accept people as they are and are strong because of their belief in themselves. Raise boys who are strong enough to display emotion and softness, and not hide their feelings when they display their hopes and dreams. Raise boys who can appreciate the softness of a moonlit night as much as they appreciate the stormy anger of the sea.
After all, how are they supposed know how to respect women as much as men, if they are taught from a young age that women are lesser human beings.

understand
that
life
is
not a straight line. Life is not a set
timeline of milestones. It is okay if you don’t finish
school, get married, find a job that supports you, have a
family, make money, and live comfortably all by this age, or
that age. It’s okay if you do, as long as you understand
that if you’re not married by 25, or a Vice President by
30 — or even happy, for that matter — the world
isn’t going to condemn you. You are allowed to backtrack.
You are allowed to figure out what inspires you. You are
allowed time, and I think we often forget that. We choose a
program right out of high school because the proper thing to do
is to go straight to University. We choose a job right out of
University, even if we didn’t love our program, because
we just invested time into it. We go to that job every morning
because we feel the need to support ourselves abundantly. We
take the next step, and the next step, and the next step,
thinking that we are fulfilling some checklist for life, and
one day we wake up depressed. We wake up stressed out. We feel
pressured and don’t know why. That is how you ruin your
life.
you are not a trash can so do not allow anyone to
dump their insecurities on you. i don’t care if
we’ve been friends since we wore diapers and saw each
other naked or if we’ve been ultra close emotionally in
college or if our moms have hung out since forever - i deserve
more than your shΙt.
