The fact of the matter is that a system that demands your silence and compliance in the face of injustice was never meant to protect you.
Someone you know is on the verge of a meltdown right now.
Who cares if it took half a life to get here? I’ve always done things on my own time.
It's never understanding why your brother likes hot fudge when it just melts everything and it's laughing at your dad when he describes his preferred texture of malt as "runny."
