I swear SOMETHING broke in society after 2020 and nobody wants to talk about it. And I’m not talking about masks, lockdowns, or COVID. I mean the FEELING of life. Everything reopened. We went back to work. Restaurants filled up. Events came back. But somehow life still feels… different. Years disappear faster. People feel more disconnected. Everything feels more expensive, stressful & rushed. And somehow we’re all constantly exhausted. I can’t even explain exactly what we lost. I just know life before 2020 felt more ALIVE. Tell me I’m not the only one who feels this.

I don’t know what to think about the new Russian virus propaganda but if the reptilian saturn worshipping communists played the long con where they first released Covid (fake) and then the vaccine that killed you specifically to train me into distrusting viruses and vaccines so they could later release an actually deadly one that would kill me without treatment knowing I would rather die than take a vaccine because the point was now to cull the insubordinates then they have succeeded and I will perish.

September is Suicide Prevention Month. Suicide prevention is affordable housing. Suicide prevention is free healthcare. Suicide prevention is free education. Suicide prevention is food security. Suicide prevention is financial stability. Therapy can’t fix the system.

Never has my life ever been improved by sending a wall of text. Not. One. Time. Every time I’ve written the long paragraph, explained my feelings, clarified my intentions, defended myself or tried to make someone understand exactly why they hurt me. I usually just ended up feeling more exhausted. They just don’t want to understand. No perfectly worded message can create accountability, empathy, effort or emotional maturity in someone who doesn’t have it. I’m learning that peace doesn’t always come from finally saying everything. Sometimes it comes from realising I don’t need to explain myself anymore.

Anne baban senin nasıl yaşlandığını göremeyecek.Partnerin seni çocukluğundan beri tanımıyor. Çocukların genç halini çok az hatırlayacak. En yakın arkadaşların bile geçmişinin tamamını bilmiyor. Hayatının ilk gününden sonuna kadar seninle olacak tek kişi sensin Kendine iyi davran

If you don't let people suffer the consequences of their actions, you will always be a safe space for their worst behaviors.
