If I could offer a young person advice about anything it would be do NOT make life decisions based on your boyfriend or girlfriend. Girls especially. Do NOT stay close to home for him, do not skip opportunities to travel or study abroad, do not pick a safe college to be with him. Expand your horizons. Broaden your own life. He is not the world.
I want everyone who disagrees with this post to come back to me in a couple years and tell me how that shit worked out.
Note: if your relationship can’t survive a semester or a year apart, it’s probably not going to survive the rest of your life.
Also, if your SO can’t be supportive of your education/career goals, they’re probably not the right person for you.
Having a sibling or three really like….gave you interpersonal skills and moral exercises from an early age that people who were only children had to learn later on, because nothing makes your brain work overtime than having a ride or die relationship with someone who you would suplex through the dining room table in a second if they touched your shit, but you’d also stand up and take the blame for some shit if you knew it wasn’t their fault or stepping in and swinging if they were being bullied by someone else
one minute i go from “i could disown you and never look back” to “you are literally the funniest person i know, we can survive anything together.”
some of the donation posts i see on here are so obviously fake or written by literal abusers that i have to gawk at the amount of reblogs people give them
like i literally saw a donations post just now for someone who on the first page of their blog was being friendly w someone who runs w a notorious crew of sexual harassers and known rapists that were called out on here extensively so like…k
i know it’s not a popular opinion but maybe be more critical of the ppl who you materially and publicly support ! i can not be the only survivor on here who sees y’all blog donations posts from abusers and gets uncomfortable and suspicious of your motives
