The Narrative Neurotypicals Give About The Mentally Ill Is So Warped Like How Many Times Have You Heard

The narrative neurotypicals give about the mentally ill is so warped like how many times have you heard “If Van Gogh took medication, we wouldn’t have Starry Night,” and he literally painted that one on meds in a mental ward.

just messaged my crush and told him i liked him and now my adrenaline has peaked and im using it to get thru my revision slump haha

when i was a kid i was listening to i write sins not tragedies followed straight by black beatles without batting an eye bc baby i’ve always had range

ik shaming ppl for having sex is bad but i can’t stop myself from calling boris johnson a slut 😔

How would you feel if your neighbour just marched up to your door and said “get out”

or you found your neighbour in your backyard and you ask him what he’s doing and he says “well if i dont take it someone else will. this house is mine now”

and while this was happening to you, someone deletes your social media accounts, making it difficult for you to reach out to the world for help…

Well. Its actually happening. This very moment.

look up Sheikh Jarrah, Palestine.

i think one of the most important things i’ve learned this last year is how labels are supposed to accommodate and describe us rather than act as strict parameters for who we allow ourselves to be (this applies to pretty much every type of label but i’m more specifically talking abt sexuality here).

for me, the term bisexual best describes my sexuality so it’s what i use. if in the future i realise it’s not a good fit anymore i can just stop using it and either be label-less or find a different one. changing labels doesn’t invalidate the feelings and experiences i’ve had, it just shows i’ve learnt more about myself as a person. it doesn’t mean i lied abt being bi either, just that i’ve figured out it’s not quite who i am.

realising this has made me so much more comfortable about calling myself bi, bc for a long time when i was questioning i was so scared that i was lying bc i didn’t feel i had enough ‘proof’ that this was a term i could use. but it’s not me that has to squeeze myself into the box i think i need to be in, but instead just living and trying new things and if i feel like i’ve found a place for myself i can stay for as long as it feels right - whether that be for good or not.
