I’m really tired of seeing people broken up into labels of absolutes.
People are not just “good” or “bad”.
People are not a list of labels.
People are complex, situations are complex.
I know, that makes it a lot harder when you want to just write off everything someone’s ever done as bad – but that’s not how people actually are, and it would do everyone good to stop pretending they are.
I am tired of hearing about the fear people have in putting themselves out there. And it is a scary thing! Putting yourself out there means subjecting yourself to people who want a really good reason to tear you down, who will jump at the first chance to feel “good” by labeling someone else as “bad”.
I reject this. I reject the idea that there should be fear in speaking up and talking about experiences and trying to reach an understanding of a situation.
I’m unhappy to see people spitefully urging others to cut off ties with their friends under the guise of “well, that person’s just inherently bad, so if you talk to them you’re bad too.” That is fucked up. You definitely have the right to let the friend know you don’t want to hear about whoever troubles you, but you do not at all have the right to decide who their friends should be. This includes guilt trips.
Anyway, just try to be more aware of others. Everyone else is a person like you. They might not have the same experiences as you. They might not understand how their words are harmful, or how what they’re doing is wrong. They certainly won’t if you never tell them.
Most people are trying to be good, but they’re going to mess it up sometimes. Try to keep that in mind. Even when people do really fucked up shit, sometimes they are trying to do good. “The road to hell is paved with good intentions” and all that.
Nothing gets solved, no growth happens when you put people into a box from which you’ll never let them escape.
Yes, you absolutely must be careful about people who have tendencies and patterns that are harmfulto you. Sometimes people try to overcome those patterns and they fail, and you have to distance yourself from them: that is the sad reality of life. Sometimes though, they can overcome it. But they certainly won’t if the first thing you do is write them off after a fuck up.
I will never not reblog this, because it just gives me so many feels.
This… Is how ever artist is – whether we draw, write or even roleplay… Our characters speak to us, they let us know how they feel, how they think… It’s why I cherish each character I have ever rp’d because… They’ve become a part of who I am. All of the characters I write as… I give life to and that to me is a beautiful thing.
d’awwww
i have literally only ever seen the death note edit of this
this is beautiful
pls remember this before you call a character a “mary sue” or whatever they call “superior” characters now ok thank u
Finnick: If someone is unable to even “stand up” without assistance then obviously they are not in the right frame of mind to make a sound decision.
Finnick: I literally cannot believe you even said that to me. Never, ever, ever fucking do that. A person who is intoxicated is at the disadvantage of not being able to make correct choices, and if you take that as a way to do things to them or have them do things to you, then you are disgusting. That’s illegal in the first place to try anything without the person’s full on consent, but downright horrible to even think of being such an asshole in the first place.
Finnick: Rethink your life choices as I get him a damn towel.
With all my heart I cannot respect people who drink and drive. Because it’s 100% preventable and fucking selfish
Jesus christ, watch the video, it’s heartbreaking…..their medical bills are OVER SIX MILLION DOLLARS. I can’t even imagine this…not doing anything wrong, just get hit by some piece of shit who was driving drunk and suddenly your entire life is ruined…dear god I can’t even imagine. This is horrifying and heartbreaking.
I have zero respect for people who drink and drive.
“John Seaman 6 months ago –
For those that haven’t heard, Kellie
passed away last year from her injuries. She stayed alive for 391 days
and I stayed by her side. The man responsible has been sentenced to 15
years in prison. Our medical bills are almost done being handled, thank
all of you who stood with us and continue the fight against drunk
driving. More updates and video’s are coming soon, including my letter
to Mathew Moore.“
