they want to talk about mental illness and acceptance and how everyone is a little ocd it's cute and quirky and their "intrusive thoughts" are about cutting their hair off and you say yours are about taking a razorblade to your eye and they say ew can you not and everyone is a little adhd sometimes! except if you're late it's a personality flaw and it's because you are careless and cruel (and someone else with adhd mentions they can be on time, so why can't you?) and it's not an eating disorder if it's girl dinner! it's not mania if it's girl math! what do you mean you blew all of your savings on nonrefundable plane tickets for a plane you didn't even end up taking. what do you mean that you are afraid of eating. get over it. they roll their little lips up into a sneer. can you not, like, trauma dump?

they love it on them they like to wear pieces of your suffering like jewels so that it hangs off their tongue in rapiers. they are allowed to arm-chair diagnose and cherrypick their poisons but you can't ever miss too many showers because that's, like, "fuckken gross?" so anyone mean is a narcissist. so anyone with visual tics is clearly faking it and is so cringe. but they get to scream and hit customer service employees because well, i got overwhelmed.

you keep seeing these posts about how people pleasers are "inherently manipulative" and how it's totally unfair behavior. but you are a people pleaser, you have an ingrained fawn response. in the comments, you have typed and deleted the words just because it is technically true does not make it an empathetic or kind reading of the reaction about one million times. it is technically accurate, after all. you think of catholic guilt, how sometimes you feel bad when doing a good deed because the sense of pride you get from acting kind - that pride is a sin. the word "manipulation" is not without bias or stigma attached to it. many people with the fawn response are direct victims of someone who was malignantly manipulative. calling the victims manipulative too is an unfair and unkind reading of the situation. it would be better and more empathetic to say it is safety-seeking or connection-seeking behavior. yes, it can be toxic. no, in general it is not intended to be toxic. there is no reason to make mentally ill people feel worse for what we undergo.

you type why is everyone so quick to turn on someone showing clear signs of trauma but you already know the fucking answer, so what's the point of bothering. you kind of hate those this is what anxiety looks like! infographics because at this point you're so good at white-knuckling through a severe panic attack that people just think you're stoic. even people who know the situation sometimes comment you just don't seem depressed. and you're not a 9 year old white kid so there's no way you're on the spectrum, you're not obsessed with trains and you were never a good mathematician. okay then.

mental illness is trending. in 2012 tumblr said don't romanticize our symptoms but to be fair tiktok didn't exist yet. there's these series of videos where someone pretends to be "the most boring person on earth" and is just being a normal fucking person, which makes your skin crawl, because that probably means you are boring. your friend reads aloud a profile from tinder - no depressed bitches i fucking hate that mental illness crap. your father says that medication never actually works.

you still haven't told your grandmother that you're in therapy. despite everything (and the fact it's helping): you just don't want her to see you differently.

If you say shit like “ugh actual books are sooo sexist why would I read them when I can read my sexy smutty fanfic” and you’re over the age of 20 I hope you get mauled to death by tigers. I hope you get drip fed hydrofluoric acid. And if you say shit like “fanfic is soooo much more profound than actual books” I hope you get tied to four horses and pulled in opposite directions. From the bottom of my heart.

PLEASE READ

Hello! I’m an African American girl and the daughter of two Nigerians. I wanted to recognize the end of black history month and talk about some of my thoughts.

I love this month because this is when America is supposed to talk about our history and achievements. Well, suppose to. I will say, there wasn’t a lot of talk but when there was, I was so happy. I should probably tell my own story. I have always been interested in the history and culture of African Americans, especially the civil rights movement. I made it my mission to read everything I could find, non-fiction and fiction, so I could know.

Now, you might be wondering ‘wtf is she talking about and don’t go yet. A lot of history ends up only being talked about in that one month and erased the rest of the year. Sometimes it’s not even talked about. For me, I feel I often have to push the conversation and people are often uncomfortable. I believe this feeling comes from tragedy because African American history is full of tragedy.

And of course, it is! But it’s also full of triumph and determination! Even if there’s a tragedy, learn. Another thing I need you to remember. LEARNING CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME! You don’t have to wait, go for it!

Today I will show you a few books, my expertise, about the black experience and culture. They are some of my most favorite books and most of them are fiction.

Christopher Paul Curtis books

Bud not buddy, The Watsons go to Birmingham - 1963, The Mighty Miss Malone. I suggest all of these books so much. They have character and are amazing stories about people.

Bud not buddy is a book I don’t remember as well as the other two because I read this in fourth grade. The Great Depression is an era Mr. Curtis seems to enjoy and I’m glad for that. Bud is a boy in search of a father he never met. Follow him as he travels across the country using the very few clues he has from his possessions.

The Watsons go to Birmingham is a wonderful story about a family who are a little weird. We follow their adventures in Flint, Michigan until Byron (the oldest) gets into trouble. The parents decide that the family should visit their grandmother in Birmingham. I recommend this book because it’s funny and is about the importance of family. If you get the chance to read this book, do so! Wool Pooh :) (if you get this reference then ayyyyy)

The Mighty Miss Malone! This is my favorite book and I like it because the main character feels like me in a way but more organized. Deza Malone is the youngest daughter of The Malone’s and she is a smarty-pants bookworm. This book is set during the great depression and the major theme is family comes first, no matter what.

I Thought My Soul Would Rise and Fly: The Diary of Patsy, a Freed Girl

One of my favorite books in elementary school. This is a diary written by a free slave girl who learned how to read and write. This is her experiences after being freed and how she learns about the world and herself.

Brown Girl Dreaming

A novel written in verse and talks about the author’s childhood growing up. I think this is a beautiful novel that allows you to really look into a black girl’s life and experiences.

One crazy summer and the rest of the series

This book follows three sisters as they travel to Oakland, California, to visit their mom in 1968. This book heavily talks about the black panthers and is mostly about the siblings’s relationship with each other and their mother, who left when they were young. They learn a lot about the Black Panthers and their mission since their mother is a part of the group. I recommend this book and the other ones in the series. They are funny but discuss serious topics and family.

These will be all the books I have for today but I have a couple more so ask me if you want more suggestions. And if you have your own books suggestions, comment or reblog this post. Please spread this post so more people can read these books and think about my message. Yes, these books are more for kids but they are how I learned about my culture and read about kids like me. They can imform about African American’s lives and make you more aware of the issues we’ve had in the past and now.

THANK YOU AND HAVE A GOOD DAY!!!!!
