If your apology involves degrading yourself, calling yourself shit or insulting yourself, its not an apology, try again.
Can someone translate this?
Don’t try to guilt people by saying “I’m sorry I fucking suck.” “I’m sorry I’m just the worst and I should die” Because thats not an apology, thats trying to guilt the other person into dropping the subject.
i hope that with only a few months left in the year, it treats you well, and the beginning of the next one does the same

i know that often the november-december period has this image of being a perfect, happy time of year, but i know that isn’t a reality for everyone.
as this often hectic end of year holiday period approaches, please remember to take care of yourself. you don’t have to feel the pressures of consumerism or religion or family or having a “perfect holiday” if you don’t want to.
a new year doesn’t have to be a new you and you won’t necessarily be the happiest person in the world on christmas day, but that’s okay!
at this time of year as well as at any other, remember you are loved and that this is just like any other time of year.

being disabled is really scary sometimes bc people will openly talk about how everyone like you should be murdered, talk about how your mere existence is a drain on society & the world at large, refer to you as less than human, & claim that it’s unethical to allow people like you to be born in the same tone they would use to weigh the pros & cons of buying a toaster oven & then infantilize & invalidate you when you get upset about or even have any reaction to it (with plenty of others willing to back them up that you’re being “like waaaaay too sensitive”)
I hate when people say “A woman’s body was designed to give birth.” No, giving birth is just something a woman’s body can do. If we follow that logic, then because a man’s body can reach sexual climax via anal penetration, all men were designed for gay sex. Needless to say, like gay sex, childbirth is just not some people’s cup of tea.
At my funeral, I’m gonna hire somebody with a scar to look over my body and audibly whisper “I should’ve been the one to finally take you out.”
Alternatively, they could also whisper “They won’t get away with this. I’m gonna finish what you started, old friend.”
They’ll have instructions to read the room and choose which they deem best fit
hope everyone with a shitty dad is okay today

This was written about me personally.
I did an experiment. I went to our local grocery store and I apologized to every person I walked past. “Ope! Sorry!” And every single person said, “Oh no, you’re fine!” Nobody asked me what I was sorry for. It was just kind of assumed that I was sorry for existing, and if that isn’t the most midwestern thing I’ve ever heard of, I don’t know what is.
I didn’t think I knew what “ope” meant until you said the phrase “ope! sorry!” and then I was like ‘does everyone not use this phrase’
Fucking leave me be!
