become more accepting. Some people say you’re supposed to become more rigid and less tolerant. But I’m at this point where I’ve seen some s***.. I’ve got a pretty good idea of what life is about, what people are about, and truly I’m at the point where as long as you’re not hurting other people (I mean physically harming them not just “offending” them) then I don’t care.. do whatever the f*** you want.. you know?

totally agree

thanks mink. how’s life mink! tell me, what’s the most exciting thing you got to do all year?

🤔

i’ve left the country for the very first time. I’ve had an amazing relationship with my gf and we’ve both learned a lot about ourselves. i’ve continued to grow into the person i wanna be and i’ve learned to be more honest with myself.

that’s great! all positives.. I still haven’t been outside of the country myself..I’m sure that has to an eye-opening experience.. what did you take from going to a new country?

It’s because with age you get so tired of everyones bullshit that you just don’t care enough to even pay attention tbh

don't downplay mentally harming people though
a lot of the f***ed up s*** people do is because of trauma

That’s a good point. I do consider mental trauma physical tho because it actually affects the connections in your brain. But I wouldn’t want to go so far as to erase the distinction between a traumatic encounter and a merely offensive one. So many people in our society are focused on being offended rather than dealing with their own trauma.. wouldn’t you agree?

oh yeah for sure. i just was adding that because i've seen people try to act like poor mental health doesn't have the potential to ruin lives

Totally! I think poor mental health is the reason for almost every negative outcome. My aunt has serious issues and is on medication. Her biggest problem is letting go of things. I’m learning to let go. Things I’ve held onto from the past, they no longer affect me. And I’m a better person for it, I think.

How old are you even

13?

OP just found out he's not a boomer
