I honestly hate that we've normalized the idea that all opinions are valid. I think we should get back to telling people that they are ill informed & ignorant

I got a panic attack while travelling in the auto two nights ago, and I’ve been so shaken by it. It was completely unprovoked & no backstory of stress or anxiety. I was returning home from a nice evening of community and love. There was no reason for a breakdown
