there's something about pushing kindness and acceptance into the void and then someone reaching out and showing you that it truly matters that it's not some theoretical empty thing, it genuinely matters and it helps and makes people feel seen

#dan talks #like yknow how ull keep saying things bcs u know they are kind and right #for so long that u start forgetting that they have weight and impact #and then someone goes 'oh. i see. i see.' and u remember that the point of the worlds is to help not a theoretical People but ppl around u #like there will always be fat ppl who hear fat positivity for the first time #who see themselves represented for the firsst time #who learn coping mechanissms for the first time #who get told their experiences are valid for the first time #whose joy and passion is loudly celebrated rather than mocked for the first time #there will always be ppl to whom ur kindness and care truly matters and to whom that kindness isnt just something they already know #i keep forgetting ppl dont know and dont know and dont know #like in class well do critical thinking or whatever and i get the need to shout that we know we know we know #but we dont. so many of my classmates were hearing it for the first time and learning abt media manipulation #and itss like. i must remember. i must remember why we do all we do #i must remember that kindness matters to someone #this hit me when i saw this video of little black girls reacting to ariel being black #and obv we waged the Arguments online of needing rep and how important it is and for racists to stop being racist etc #but theres something abt seeing the positive impact of what ure doing. seeing it Real instead of a theoretical good #just... yes. lotss of thoughts
