Wow.
I can't believe it.
I finally deleted that black hole which consumed way too much of my time and life.
It was great at first , seriously.
It gave me a sense of place , of community .
I learned so much from that website as well.
I learned about feminism and lgbt rights and gender rolls and the wrongs that were occurring all over the world , and the different sexualities and all sorts of stuff I've never thought about before.
I learned about body positivity , and slut shaming and religion.
I've learned so much and opened my eyes to so much and that's so awesome.
However, when activism and teaching turns into ugly attacks and caps over who is wrong and who is right, and when a single comment turns into a witch hunt, it's no longer okay.
The sjbs that preach peace and equality to everyone are the same ones that turn around and personally attack a person for an opinion.
It's insane.
And i've tried to hard to think and be and do all the things I can to make sure I'm not offending anyone but there is a line where youre no longer saying what you believe in for the sake of not being called ()ist or ()phobic or anything else.
There is a line between wanting people to be aware of how theyre being offensive , and being offensive yourself.
I won't be a part of it anymore.
That's all.

Look Ma, My First Post!
Wow, what a huge deal. My first post . What should I even write about?
I could make it humorous (if I were funny).
I could aim for pensive or thoughtful , but there will be enough of that in the future, I'm sure.
I guess I'll just ramble on about what I want this to be.
For me , this will be an outlet. Something I need to sort out all of my thoughts and musings and clashing opinions in my never ending storm of thoughts.
It's hard to concentrate and understand what I need or want or what's bothering me if I have so many unrelated thoughts at once.
So , on a personal level I'm hoping for a little peace in my head , and maybe a better understanding of myself.
On the other hand , I'm hoping for growth in my writing .
I want to look back on this in a year and see where I started and see what I've gotten better at and what I could still improve on.
I also sort of strangely hope that I'll help someone.
Even just one lone little reader that stumbles on here and understands or empathizes with what I'm saying or feeling .
So they in turn feel like they're not the only one that thinks these thoughts or feels these feelings.
That sounds a little conceited to me , like I have these profound epiphanies or something when it's really more the opposite.
I also don't really have a specific theme in mind right now.
I know there will probably be a good deal of posts tackling my anxiety issues.
There will be opinions I want to share, or things that are irking me I want to get off of my chest.
There will be silly things , there may be a cat picture or two.
I'll probably do a few of those annoying-but-at-the-same-time-fun-list-posts.
I don't know.
I just do hope to update this fairly regularly to give myself something to work on.
So that's it for right this minute I guess.
Happy Reading.
