So to say something that my inner 12 year old would have wanted to have heard.

So I did my best, but I was speaking from a very unhealed place and I've since gone on to heal that place in me so that I can actually meet people where they're at and understand that

People are not just good or evil.

We're complicated and we are products of our environment and we're products of our upbringings.

And again, this comes out in my work about men, is that I'm angry with the construct of patriarchy.

I'm not angry with each individual man, but I'm disappointed in those who don't move to disrupt the system that benefits them.

i'm disappointed in them i find it very unattractive but i do recognize the ways in which they've been fucked with and their vulnerabilities and the ways in which the patriarchy hurts them and that's why i appeal to them with an oar rather than an axe yeah i i just i really i appreciate your being able to even talk about that evolution in self and sort of being able to say i do

Yeah, I think it's very important that we don't fear accountability because if we fear accountability, we can't actually instigate change.

If I don't take responsibility for my own bad behavior, not just towards others, but mostly to myself, how can I change it?

How can I grow?

How can I evolve if I don't go, ah, that was my bad.

Okay, I really hurt myself or I really hurt that person or I really hurt that group of people.

I know I can change it because I've not been too much of a coward to look it in the face and go, that is really ugly and uncomfortable and I really don't want to feel this way again.

That's the only way you can actually purge it.

Otherwise, it just sits in you forever.

Yeah.

just under the surface.

And I don't want that.

So I'd rather purge it properly and then actually fix it.

My fucking time.
