its the way chayanne only died bc he was trying to help phil and tallulah, he was still up and could've swam away once he revived phil, but that just isn't how chayanne is, is it? he had to die protecting someone. even if it meant nothing in the end and they all died.

its the way tallulah was in the middle of writing a sign, her most prominent form of communication. it's how she was frantically scribbling something down to phil and was downed during it. it's how she died right next to the other two, even when chayanne was trying to get to them. it's how she's only been on this planet for a week, less, and already has died and come back to life

its how phil was trying to stay calm and yet was frantically telling chayanne to res him so he could get to tallulah, it's how he realised there was no hope, he just started apologising to chayanne, over and over, told him that the island didn't want them to live, was so upset that he called upon the island itself to fix its mistake or incur his fucking wrath

And I'm officially insane,

Bullying isn't a "normal part of growing up"

Bullying isn't a "normal part of growing up" if a child is being bullied physically that is a failure of the school to protect them and a failure to create a safe learning environment.

Psychological bullying is *equally* as serious but can be harder to identify. But if a child/teen comes home from school upset repeatedly. If they say they don't want to go to school. If they alter their behavior to avoid persecution this is also a failure.

This feels obvious and basic but I'm saying it anyway.

Bullying isn't just something that happens naturally and part of "kids being kids" We can have schools where bullying is very rare and taken seriously when it occurs.

Bullying occurs when members of a community decide that someone is not an equal member of the community and so they aren't due the respect that everyone else may have. Sometimes adults condone this, and participate. (Sometimes on some notion of "making them more normal" or "teaching them to not be a target") This should not occur. This need not occur. If the adults that run schools, and parents decide they will not tolerate it ... it need not happen.

Yes, yes. *sometimes* feeling like you don't fit in is a part of growing up.

*sometimes*

Somehow this reasonable level of discomfort that can lead to personal growth gets confused with being bullied. And people who resist the idea that no one really needs to be bullied. (It could just be a thing that didn't happen in schools on any significant level.) think we are saying the much less reasonable idea that everyone should always be happy and never have any social discomfort.

It sucks so much when you work so hard for something and give it all you got and you do everything you can, but it still doesn't work out and you still fail.

Listen to me babe. Failure is normal and part of the process. If you never fail, you're not making true progress. You're just regurgitating prior process.

I don't know why society is so obsessed with perfectionism and never making a mistake ever, but that's not how it works. You're going to forget to upload an assignment. You're going to miserably fail a test. You're going to get a speeding ticket. You're going to make your little sister sad. You're going to kill some plants. You're going to get that quiz back you were so confident about and realize that you got 1 question right. Those moments are when true learning take place instead of memorization and regurgitation.

This is why in math they make you show all your work and on science and reading they made you explain all your answers and choices with a paragraph. It highlights your thought process so you can analyze where you were right and where you were wrong. And it's ok to be wrong! No one is ever right all the time.

Don't let anyone shame you for being bad at something. Remember that they had to learn to walk and chew and talk and write and read and they didn't succeed the first few times in any of that. We should be building people up and acknowledging their faults as a way to learn and grow, not as a source of shame and despair.

It is Friday and I get to run at lunchtime, I love my Friday lunchtime run. Today it was freezing cold and pretty windy. The wind was aiding the tiny rain drops in their endeavour to water blast any tiny bit of exposed flesh I may have had. I arrived home after this run quite invigorated and ready to relaunch myself into my submission writing.
