ATTENTION ATTENTION, I HAVE AN INFURIATING STORY TO TELL AND NO ONE KNOWS THE TRUTH

Before I begin, this story is a touchy subject to the people involved so I would like you, the reader, to keep my name anonymous and if you do feel like you know who this story is referring to then I must ask that you keep it to yourself. If my parents found out that I wrote something like this exposing the truth then I might end up in major trouble. 

Okay now thats out of the way, I can get to the point. No, my parents don’t abuse me if I made you think so. The topic is completely different and it affects my mother most of all. 

To begin the story, my mom and her family have always owned horses but since she married my dad and had my brother and I she hasn’t had much time to spend with her horses. My aunt, her sister, has made horses her life and she owned a barn. My mom sent a few of our old horses to live with my aunt and her family. One of the horses was a horse that I more or less rode in my childhood, her name was Lacy (remember this is important.) Another horse was named Cameo, she and my mother didn’t get along so she sent the horse to live at my aunt’s as a breeding mare. Along with some of my mother’s horses that she couldn’t afford to keep, she also kept tack in her sister’s barn. Some of the tack included some of our older saddles and lances that we used for sport.

My Aunt never really had a good track record with my horse. My mom sent my horse to live with my aunt (I was too young to say otherwise, eight years or so) so they could breed her and get a few foals out of her. After my horse had her colt, they brought her and the colt back home. My horse was a walking skeleton and the colt had a scare on his face where he got his face caught in the fence. I mention this for a reason so remember this. 

My aunt decided few years ago that she wanted to take part in a Therapeutic riding program, I will not disclose the name of this organisation or the name of the farm. Luckily there was an organisation that was looking to open a riding center in the area. They volunteered and so they have been operating as a therapeutic riding center a few years ago. 

Sadly, they had a barn fire a last month, killing the seven horses including two of my mother’d horses that I mentioned above, one of which we were hoping to get a baby out of. 

I know what you’re thinking “Oh thats very sad! But what is the point of the story?” Well kids, this is it. After the fire, my aunt claimed that all the horses killed in the fire were all Therapy horses and they were all hers. This is false, two of the horses were my moms but most shocking NONE OF THE HORSES WHO DIED WERE REGISTERED THERAPY HORSES. So now my aunt is capitalizing on this lie, getting hundreds of dollars from both the riding organisation and sympathetic detonators. It wouldn’t be so bad if my mom got a few hundred to compensate for the loss of two of her mares, but she hasn’t seen a single penny. The story has escalated from there, with my aunt making up more lies about the horses. In an article from a local news site spouting misinformation about the fire. 

Lie 1. They started the Therapeutic riding center because of their granddaughter who was sexually abused. First of all, bullshit they started it because the organisation was looking for a barn in the area. Second of all, I don’t know if their granddaughter was sexually abused or not (which im skeptical about because its my aunt and she’s talking about my cousin. the type of people they are i feel like we would have heard about abuse, that would have been the topic all over Facebook, family reunions, Christmas, etc.) but they are using a twelve year old girl who may or may not been through something incredibly awful to garner more sympathy. 

Lie 2: The horses were all therapy horses. I've stated this before, no they were not so such the fuck up about it. 

Lie 3: The fire was started by a fusebox issue. Although the fire was caused by the fusebox they claim the fuse malfunctioned while in reality it was caused by all the filth and possibly a mouse nest. They never cleaned the barn and they all smoked while inside with bails of hay and other flammable matter.   

I would not normally be so angry about an event like this, yes I lost some of my childhood ponies, but it happens. Im angry because instead of telling the truth about those poor horses (Which they called our horse Lacy their “Prize mare” which is bullshit because that mare couldn’t do jack shit. Not to mention she wasn’t the prettiest thing.) they continued to lie and ignored my grieving mother who now has no horse to do her sport, which she has done all of her life. 

Im not writing this to keep funds from being given to my aunt, im writing this because I am frustrated. Im frustrated and heartbroken over the fact that my mom has no way to do the thing she loves. Not to mention that she has been in a fit of depression after the fire. The lying is just causing more internal struggle for my mom. So kids, don’t lie about this shit. Nothing can bring those horses back but if you were to explain the truth it might spare some people grief.

Be careful of what you say to the Catcher

Because they are the only ones who are keeping you from getting hit in the face.

I was catching at a tournament (Top Gun organization) and the umpire was making shit calls. Like, I would just catch the ball, not move, and he would call it a ball. He even called an illegal pitch when the pitcher hadn't even stepped on the rubber yet. My coaches (My dad, a friends dad and their friend) started to flip out (and they are the most level headed people I know) So the batter fouled a ball off and it went straight for my coach. The umpire behind me says "That's what he gets..." So I let the next pitch hit him in the face.

Look, I know its rude of me and its petty but if you have a comment like that (especially if you are an umpire) keep it to your damn self. I'm not going to let you trash talk the people who made me who I am.

On Preferred Pronouns

If you look like a girl, people will say she

If you look like a guy, people will say he

Nobody in the real world is going to ask what your pronouns are, and honestly nobody cares.

So, don't get mad if someone calls you something else. You can ask them to call you whatever, if they are someone like me they are going to try there best to remember but its a bit difficult.

What ive learned in my life...

Is that the smallest groups make the most noise.

[ihavepinionthatmayoffened]

The goal of this blog is to trigger conversation between I and other people.

I have opinions and so do you, I want to talk about them.

I can't express my opinions in real life.

[ihavepinionthatmayoffened]

Personal opinion

If you are scared you are going to be attacked, learn self defense. I see posts on here that say girls are scared to walk down the street because they are afraid of being attacked. Although understandable and maybe a bit wise, learning self defense would definitely take some of that fear away. You can't change people I'm sad to say but you can do things that would decrease stress and worry. I learned karate as a child, so at a young age I was taught to get out of a choke hold and other grabs. It was helpful, and I feel like it would help others as well.

Although it will not get rid of the problem, honestly nothing will, it would help people feel safer.

Y'all are strong and independent aren't you?

On the topic of body positivity

So, body positivity

I understand the movement's motives, I really do. Its about reenforcing the idea that everyone should be comfortable with their body, weight, and size. I mean, I've weighed 150 since I was in sixth grade (I was chubby back then but I workout on the daily now so I don't look 150) but the idea of "health at every size" is problematic in my opinion.

First of all, that statement seems to suggest that a person who weighs 600 pounds is healthy and has no health issues. Well, just because that person does not have any health issues at the moment doesn't mean that they will continue to be healthy. Several studies have shown that obesity has lead to several heart problems and some forms of cancer. Being obese is not a healthy life style, and it makes doing basic things that much more difficult.

Another thing that I have found in the moment is the total shaming of skinny people. If you don't want to be shamed for your size, don't do it to others. Although some skinny people are born skinny and stay that way, other people including myself have had to work to become as small as we are. In my journey, I mostly started to work out because I fell in love with softball and I wanted to become better. I had no issue being the size that I was because people told me that it was okay. It was only when I dropped a couple sizes that I realized that I was not Happy being that big. Im still not stick thin, im athletic. All and all it is not okay to shame someone because of their size, you don't know what they have experienced.

I've also noticed how if someone who is overweight wants to loose some pounds, some people will just go after them. I mean, isnt the point of body positivity supporting people's body? If they want to change it, they can.

Thats just what I've seen, i understand the message but I think people have just taken it a bit to far.

Where politics should not be:

Video games

Comic books

Non political novels

Sports

A lot of people, including myself, use things such as video games and books as an escape from the bad things in life. Do not insert your political views into something that is used to ignore that bullshit. I have no problem with expressing political views, but please don't bring it into non political platforms.
