things i am tired of; trigger warning for... everything?
i’m tired of not being allowed to have feelings because it might bother someone more important than me
i’m tired of being told that my feelings are manipulative, or that i’m just attention-whoring if i express them
i’m tired of being told that because i’m white and able-bodied i can’t possibly be oppressed in any other way, and then when i explain how i’m being oppressed right now told that my experiences are wrong and don’t matter
i’m tired of being blamed for expressing anger, even when it stems from a decade and a half of people treating me like utter shit and blaming me for my illness
i’m tired of people thinking that because it’s “all in my head” i can obviously stop being sick if i just try hard enough
and i’m tired of the people who will inevitably read this and comment that they’re the one exception, the one magical fucking angel in the world who isn’t completely focused on what they can get from me and really wuvs and appreciates me as a fwiend.
i don’t buy that shit anymore.
