Looking down on other people does not, and will never, elevate your person in the eyes of society.

Today I woke up and it feels like the entire world is burning. America, this is not okay.

“You see I was fighting the fight long before I knew it had a name and a direction because in my country you either scream loud enough for everyone to notice or you stay silent forever.”

What really makes a classic horror movie? Have a sequel.

No matter how much society has claimed to be enlightened, people still don’t understand what it is to be depressed, suicidal, anxious, or mentally ill.

I’ve never shared this experience to the public before. The only ones I’ve relayed it to are a couple of close friends, not because I think no one would believe me but because when I dig up this deeply repressed memory it still scares me shitless.

When someone torments you that person is not a life lesson in disguise – they’re simply mean.

Oh, that feeling you have there? That’s called guilt. Explore it, examine it, understand it. Don’t justify it.

We were cheating ourselves when we opened Pandora’s box without thinking, when we thought we could kiss without our teeth breaking.

Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I’m reading too much into it. But you still gotta wonder wtf the intentions are.

We need to engage in open, healthy, civilized online discussions instead of calling the people in question derogatory names to satisfy our own self-righteousness.

The people we love who leave us (or who we leave) often give us a clearer view of ourselves, whether we acknowledge it or not.
