The concept of plagiarism going from “taking someone else’s work and passing it as your own” to now being “anything that you take inspiration from to make your own thing” is killing creativity, I’ll fight people on that. Online plagiarism software flag anything similarly formulated as plagiarism, like come on, there isn’t 100 ways to give the date of birth and death of someone for example, this is fucking up teenagers mind.

I LOVE being alive so I can be mediocre at SO many different hobbies

shout out to people who’s family isnt entirely bad or entirely good, but something in between and you dont know how to feel about them. you feel angry but you also feel guilty, because you know they genuinely love and care about you, but sometimes they show it in a way you know its not okay. your feelings are valid, your anger and sadness and grief are valid, and you dont have to prove this to no one. bigger shout out to those with memory issues who know something isnt right but can’t recall all of the bad events, only the feelings, which only increases the guilt.
Me: well, I appreciate the transparency. Not happy about this, obviously, but most people wouldn’t even have the decency to be straight up with me about it.
