It's The 5th Of September And Sweater Weather Has Yet To Arrive

Taika: it’s so awkward kissing and pretending to be in love with my good old pal, my bestie rhys

Hello, it's the 6th of September and this bitch is still hitting 90

Kinda rude that it’s the 3rd of September and the weather hasn’t immediately chilled down but whatever

Piggy back on this to share something personal and important

Growing up as a poc one thing you start to realize is that your parents or grandparents are not only a product of their trauma but genuinely believe that what they experience was ok/normal

Becuase they saw a certain action or were at the end of a certain action they either conditioned themselves to think it was normal or conditioned themselves so their kids never experience that

But bc it’s yk trauma they do it unconventional ways that end up hurting more then helping

Think it’s normal: Ming treated Mei the way she did because that how she was treated. It was the constant pressure of being normal that caused her to hurt her mom in her teen. Instead of addressing it she locked it up and let it fester.

Kids never experience it: Alma went through so much as a young widower that she clung onto her saving grace, the miracle. She did everything she could( protecting the candle at all cost, giving Isabela the perfect marriage) because she didn’t want her family to suffer the same life altering trauma she did

Both had love and care for their family but the way they went about it caused more hurt and harm then good

Edit: Guess I have to say this but this doesn’t apply to abusive parents. The difference is Ming and Alma LISTENED, APOLOGIZED, and worked towards FIXING their mistakes.

OH you know what? let's do controversial mental health/psychiatry opinions.

• forcibly institutionalizing psychotic people in times of crisis can not only worsen the situation but create lifelong trauma and further distrust in medical professionals and medication. it should not be a go-to option. believe it or not we still have human feelings despite a disconnect from reality.

• children should not be identified as 'sociopaths' both because antisocial behavior in childhood can be treated and because it's often a sign the child is being abused or neglected.

• people should be able to admit they're suicidal and/or self harming without fear of being institutionalized. with threat of institutionalization they won't get better, they'll just hide it more.

• not wanting to take certain medication does not make you hopeless and 'anti recovery', there are valid reasons why someone may be apprehensive towards medication as treatment and it doesn't make you delusional.

• everyone deserves autonomy in treatment, including psychotic people

• can you tell this post is partially personal rage

• oh well i'm still right about everything

When I was in middle and high school I was ridiculed by my peers for watching shows that they considered to be “immature” for my age.

It was the early-to-mid 2000s, and my classmates were watching shows like American Idol, The OC and Grey’s Anatomy. I was watching kids’ cartoons like SpongeBob, Fairly OddParents and Jimmy Neutron. These kids often bullied and pressured me into watching the shows they liked. Even my school counselor said that I had to watch the shows my peers were watching if I wanted to have friends, and I mentioned to her that I was lonely and wanted some friends.

My mom didn’t allow me to watch The OC, so I started watching Grey’s Anatomy and American Idol instead. I was starting to fit in with my peers at school, but it severely cost me my mental health. In my sophomore year, I became even more depressed than I already was. It was like my personality just completely changed in just a year.

To this day, it’s still hard to enjoy an episode of SpongeBob or any of the other shows I liked back then without being reminded of the times where I was ostracized for liking those shows.

I hate that neurodivergent kids are always being pressured into acting as close to neurotypical as possible by not only their peers, but the adults around them.

Leave. Neurodivergent. Kids. Alone.
