Part 1 | Part 2

I say this to ALL people who benefit from white privilege who care about truth, justice and mercy:

When people say “If you support trump/certain topic, then delete me now,” I kind of get confused. Those are the people, the people who think differently than you, who need to hear what you have to say. You have to have conversation with them. Of course some people’s hearts are hard and won’t listen, and it’s not worth having aggressive debates, human beings often can’t hear over the sound of their pride and fear. It’s okay to separate yourself from people unwilling to hear.

But there are a lot of people who are also raised in the machine and need to have their reality disassembled little by little and put back together by people who love in truth and action. If you delete them they have one less voice in their life exposing them to views they are either sheltered from, or shelter themselves from otherwise.

Especially when in a position of privilege to not have first hand trauma, you HAVE to have people in your life that think differently than you.

You have to.

You have to.

in college there are only two moods:

1. i can do this! after outlining everything i need to do, it doesn’t seem so bad. in fact it’s very methodical and easy to follow and i can do it.

2. oh my god its happening. its the end for me. i might as well be dead. everything is due now. i was put on this earth to suffer. i have two essays due in 45 seconds and all ive eaten today is half a goldfish cracker. i can only feel pain

also these moods go back and forth every hour
