Im homeschooled and have been since forever. I give public schoolers a lot of shit but it’s more about the system and not y’all. You guys are put under imense pressure and stress about things that have nothing to do with school on top of things that are about school. Bc very few people are trying to fix something that has been broken for way longer than it should. Very few people realize or care that public shooling isn’t effective anymore. How the fuck can you guys worry about the powerhouse of a cell when you could die at any given moment.

When I read that thread I started crying. What birth lottery did I win that gave me the chance to be educated in a safe environment. That gave me the opportunity to tell my mother “I can’t do this” and her say “lets figure it out together.” I wish I could show this thread to every single adult that tells me I’m ahead of public schooled kids bc Im a “good girl” and a “hard worker” and I’m just “smarter”.

Im ahead bc I don’t have 3 hours of extra homework and I don’t have to worry about getting shot up and I’m ahead bc I don’t have a billion other stressed out, scared, hurting kids surrounding me. There’s what twenty kids for every one adult at school? How the fuck is that supposed to work?

I could go on forever.

Im so fucking sorry for the sorry ass adults in this world. I hope that we - the next generation- can make this better. You guys are so freaking wonderful and I’m proud of each and every one of you. Sending my love. Please be safe darlings.

Do any other american high schoolers have intense survivor’s guilt and trauma with school shootings even though they weren’t at your school?

let love in. believe compliments. be vulnerable and soft-hearted. tell people you love that you love them. see beauty in everyday things. live life like you’re in a movie. don’t be afraid to begin again.

i thought it would be like - shooting stars and calligraphy and shouting confessions. i thought it would be movies in slow motion, and sunrises, and never getting old.

but it was my dog falling asleep at my feet. it was a new jar of peanut butter. it was saw-this-and-thought-of-you. it was “keeping my ringer on, just in case”. it was “stay where you are, i’m coming for you.” all of us in the abandoned parking lot, six feet away, eating in our own cars so we could say we shared lunch. not just arriving but saying here we are. it was getting lightbulbs and groceries together. it was sitting in the same room while each person quietly does work. it was snow that didn’t stick and my cat yawning. it was eighteen degrees fahrenheit on the thermometer, let’s go walk anyway because you need to go somewhere. it was coffee and dollar-store candlelight. 

i thought i would wake up in the movie, you know. i thought it would be suddenly: things are okay now. i’d get better and the better would just be there. a lot of things in my life were already so wonderful, and i couldn’t feel them, because my soul had gone numb. i thought i could just be happy if i could only wake up.

it came like ochre. it came slow like the tide.  it came like - oh, the moment i’m in is lovely, and i can finally feel how lovely it is, can’t i? and then it wasn’t just sitting in the car, it was sitting in the car with you. it was knowing he probably meant it. it was comparing scar tissue and talking about hornets and collecting chess pieces off the floor. it was watching just one more episode. it was falling asleep on the lawn. it was saying - i can’t wait and see you soon and don’t be long. 

there is this cheesy thought - the stars are always present, but they are only visible in the dark. the white heat of my sun; the collapsing echo of my horror; the sleeplessness of a neverending dawn.

and then, slowly, the day was over, and here i was. and here was the moon, and her stars, and a future like an expanse of sky untouched and unhurting. to want to go rather than to want to be gone. to not just watch but to jump in and dance along. to not just hum - to innately, sweetly, finally know the song.

adulthood gets such a bad rep and like yeah, a lot of adult things do suck (thanks, capitalism). but i do worry about what constant complaints about adulthood do to depressed kids and teens who feel trapped and sort of like adulthood is the only way out of their current situation.

so let me tell you, in case you haven't heard this ever, that in my experience, being an adult is 100x better than being a kid or teenager. being able to more or less control my living space and who i spend time with, being able to prioritize my health and wellbeing, being able to be who i truly am and pursue my interests and hobbies... all of that is worth the other dumb stuff, and none of it was possible when i was a minor. honestly, I've just gotten happier and happier the older I've gotten.

being an adult is GOOD. and it can be good for you too.
