If you ever want to see examples of modern misogyny, just look at the comments of anything related to women's softball.
I have a theory.
If as a child, someone barely talks, they will grow up and say things without thinking about it.
My evidence is myself because I was quiet till high school when I suddenly have the balls to say whatever too whoever.
I dead ass told MY PRINCIPAL that I thought his kids like whos from Dr Seuss.
You're probably thinking that's not bad and you're right, it's what I said afterwards.
I told him, his wife, and his 5 year old son that his kid looked like the Grinch...
I said he looked like Jim Carrey's live action Grinch as a kid.
I still can't believe I said that to him and I hope his son is okay. I really meant it in the best way possible though. Grinch as a kid was cute and I meant just like the facial structure, you know.
He will never let me forget it
You know, I struggle with my first and only language English, and it especially shows when I am in a panic.
One time my friends mom who mainly speaks Spanish was driving us to our musical practice. When we got out of her car she was driving away when I panicked and tried to scream
"Stop your mom! My phone is in her car! "
But what came out was
"STOP YOUR MOM! MY CAR IS IN YOUR PHONE! "
And if that wasn't embarrassing enough, right afterward I realized that was holding my phone in the hand I was using to point at the car.
Not only did my friends die of laughter, they do what good friends do, never drop it.
Would it hurry up, I'm tired of waitin here
Please like the video, we need more things like this.
I act out in hopes that I won't be left alone. I speak loudly in hopes that people will listen. I take fast in hopes that I don't bore people. I say everything I can in hopes that people won't forget. I do so much to try and have friends but at the end of the day I'm just the weird girl who says unhinged stuff. I just want to not feel alone for once. I want to be able to do the things I dream about with someone else. I sacrifice what I want so that someone will stick with me, but I never get that in return. I let them treat me like shit because at least they acknowledge me. I'm alone even when I'm surrounded by my friends because I know they would choose each other over me.
