Make a Wish!

 Trump just announced that the US has bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities. 

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just spin around three times, tap our heels together and shout “STOP at the top of our lungs and all this madness would disappear?

Toxicity

I just saw this come across my facebook feed and a person commented on the post saying: "That looks toxic." 

I’ve been seeing an increase in society's inclination to push away emotions and the need for support' treating both as if they are toxic. Dating apps are filled with people advertising “No drama please!" as if life isnt full of drama. Even in my church where we sing songs about being there for each other, whenever I’ve asked for emotional support people are much more inclined to referred me to a service than offer their own care.

Why are we so afraid of emotions? Is our society becoming sociopathic?

Hetero Pride

I just figured out why people think different is opposition. I think it's because they themselves are opposed to it; it makes them feel uncomfortable; they feel threatened by it so they figure that those who are different must be just as xenophobic as they are.

Most of the time I dont even think there is a thought process, just the fear response.

From my perspective as a person with multiple rejected identities I’ve learned to identify things that tell me when I'm not safe; when I see those things my self perserving fear kicks in. In most cases I am the vulnerable one, the outsider who's difference is not welcomed in a culture that wasn't created with me in mind, so I feel that my reaction Is justified; but this defense against defense is never going to work.

How do we convince the haters that difference is something not to fear without having to lie down and take their disrespect and abuse?

Now That's Messed Up!

There’s something so messed up about a society that expects kindness from everyone but pushes away those in need and treats them as if they are the ones who are toxic.

Accountability

 What if its not " You make me feel" or "You alone are responsible for what you feel, but both?

Motivation

 I don't think it's possible to get to love through disipline. 

But love can moitvate discipline big time!

Cage

I've spent so many years trying to recreate myself for the people in my life Ive forgotten what free feels like.
