  • Thank you for validating what I’ve been screaming into the void for the last few years.

    I’m an extremely optimistic person, but, no Carla, I’m not “so beautiful that [I] could be a model”. I’m aware of my limitations of that area, and telling me that is real nice and polite on your end, but let’s be realistic here. Lol

    Now apply that to my other traits. I’m not being “mean to myself” by addressing my shortcomings and flaws. I’m aware that I have many talents and other things I’m proud of, so don’t fucking lie to my face.









  • I think there’s a disconnect here.

    I also used to be a hardcore Christian and did the same thing. But the fact is, my own lived experience brought me out of it. No one could have sinply talked me out of my beliefs. It was literally all I knew. These were conclusions I had to come to on my own, because I was questioning them to begin with.

    If I was not questioning the validity of it to start, I would not have looked for new amounts of information.

    If people are not curious or open enough, they will stay in what they perceive to be their “truth”, with no amount of logic being able to sway them.

    Basically, if they’re not searching for truth, presenting them with truth will not sway them.












  • As someone who is handicapped through no fault of my own, it fills me with sorrow that you feel this way. Self-harm through neglect is no way to live.

    My handicap initially left me with no way to walk for nearly 2 years. No doctor would touch my case. My kid literally could not hug me. I was dependent on so many people during that time and could barely take care of anyone else.

    I cannot tell you what to do… but I’m probably not going to live very long anyway (thank you, genetics!), so I’d like to encourage you to find purpose. I found my purpose in creation by sewing, and it brings me overwhelming joy. My goal is to continue creating things to spread that joy to others.

    If that doesn’t convince you, please know this: there are evil, shitty people in power out there who revel in your self-destruction and actively want you to destroy yourself. Please do not let them win. Continue to do your best in order to spite them and help people who aren’t so fortunate.
