5 Happy Things

June 6, 2023

1. Had an insanely good convo with some guys on Sunday

2. Got to walk home from school with a super cute and amazing girl yesterday!!!

3. Finally told the guy at my local coffee place that he has a really nice smile and he smiled wide and kept grinning the whole time I was there

4. Spider-man: Across the Spider-Verse

5. Nice lil white and pink flowers growing by the sidewalks and bringing me so much joy!!!

#5 happy things #also something i've been learning recently is that most people aren't bad they're just. really stupid. and that's okay #i was talking to an anti-vaxxer and i was at first kinda like judging but the more we talked the more i realized like #she knew what people thought of her but she felt really certain that vaccines were harmful and when she was talking to me #she was really just trying in her own way to be courageous and compassionate #being absolutely willing to seem like a fool if it meant helping one more person be healthy #and was she misguided? yeah. but i actually came away from the conversation feeling like i really admired her #not understanding this one thing didn't make her evil or even stupid like she was lovely apart from that y #y'know? #idk i feel humbled hskjgweoidsjlk #then got a comment on ao3 that made me a bit wary bc comments like that had led to death threats in the past lmao #but talked a bit and realized the comment was just made bc the person wanted to see more of something and loved the og content like me #and it was like yeah our tastes were different but that's not a crime #they just chose the wrong fic to comment on #something something people aren't bad. and maybe they're not good but they try to be and that's gotta be enough #annika rambles in the tags #delete later
