Just because you did something wrong in the past doesn’t mean you can’t advocate against it now. It doesn’t make you a hypocrite. You just grew. Don’t let people use your past to invalidate your current mindset.

Bruh. This needs to be a mandatory post on everybody’s blog. Y’all really be pullin out decade old receipts like woah.

The thing I hate about coming out is the way society expects it to go down.

When gay people come out, more often than not they are expected to almost have to beg for their families love, and if they receive it without having to, they are expected to be over the moon and rejoice and be thankful and think, “what loving family and friends I have”.

The way coming out should go down is the exact opposite. 

Families and friends should almost have to beg for your love, and should most definitely be apologetic for the homophobic shit they most likely put you through whilst you were still in the closet. They should be like, “I’m sorry I was a bigoted prick all these years, I hope you can still love me and forgive me”.

The thing that bothered me the most when I came out was that my families reaction was just, “of course we have no problem, we love you no matter what”… when what I really wanted was an apology. An apology for having been ignored for years, an apology for having to sit though homophobia not only by them, but by my extended family and their friends. But what I got was, “of course it’s not a problem, now lets not talk about it again and lets not bring up all the horrible shit that we said to you openly or allowed to be said about gay people openly because we don’t want to feel bad”.

It bothers me so much to this day how much society loves to praise straight people for being so accepting of gay people but no one ever praises gay people for accepting and loving their families through the years despite all the homophobia.

i hate when ppl are like “you have problems with doing things like memory and setting goals? write them down, make a schedule:)”

the aforementioned things make that a little difficult

“Defeat executive dysfunction by utilizing your executive functioning! It’s easy!”

so people are reblogging this post and i’ve gotten a few comments along the lines of “it’s like needing scissors to open the container your scissors are in”

and that’s exactly what it’s like

and i feel like there are a lot of people misunderstanding what this post was trying to say (commenting things like “trying isn’t a bad thing though!!! it really does work!!!!!!”)

but it’s like the scissors comparison

no one is saying they’ve given up trying to open the package–it’s just a complaint because this situation is frustrating

because when people give this kind of advice it’s kind of like saying “but you have those scissors in that container right there!! just open it with those!:) it’s not that hard if you try!!!”

but then when you ask for help because you can’t get the container open or you take a break because trying to rip it apart with your hands is exhausting and hurts, people yell at you for being lazy and not trying hard enough

this post is just saying that this situation is frustrating and how there should be better alternatives–i wish someone could lend me their scissors or a knife or SOMETHING instead of CONSTANTLY being expected to open the package with the scissors inside

what makes it even more frustrating is the fact that the scissors only last one use, so you have to struggle with this business with the container EVERY time you need to use them and no one seems to understand that it’s hard because they all have a knife or an extra pair of scissors to help them open theirs
