@Imani_Barbarin I agree. what I really hope is that we can normalize that people can have anxiety and depression & they don’t have to hide or exhaust themselves trying to fix themselves or do anything except be who they are & feel what they feel & not feel broken or ashamed or guilty about it.

can't stand waking up in a country where my tax obligations involve paying for benefits I do not personally receive. hope these new IRS agents ask me for an amount that perfectly represents my proportional use of roads, libraries, Predator drones, and Blackwater contractors
