Being on social media is not unlike the abusive, gaslighting, negative environment that I grew up in. My life hasn't really changed at all in that regard.
I grew up in a household of people who never saw me as a person, as something with a heart and soul of my own. At this point being ME is one of the most important things to me.
Being a slave with no freedom is TRAUMATIC. Being brainwashed is TRAUMATIC. Being groomed on lies and false hope is TRAUMATIC. Stop hating others who make time for self care.
They say it costs nothing to be kind, but kindness is actually quite expensive. It costs a lot for many people who barely have enough to spare for themselves.
No one is blaming ANYONE for having privilege. What people are asking is that you realize you have, and benefit from, privilege regularly and that judging other people from a position of privilege is gross and ignorant.
