This is why it's so hard to defend Christians. The religion itself has ableism at its foundation. It's like you have to HATE people living with disabilities to be a true Christian. The prayers, threats, treatment of others, everything is so devoid of empathy.

To the crazy chemistry between us; to the wild make out session we had in the poorly lit washroom; to the tragedy that followed and hardened every part of my being, except my penis

The dilemma: when you refuse to stay in touch with your parents, you're the bad son. When you call them, you start cutting yourself and having panic attacks. Everything they ever said or did starts playing like a movie in your head that makes you vomit after every meal. Choose.

I read Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death" at dawn and fell asleep immediately afterwards. Why did I see the Red Death in three different dreams?😭😭😭 Morning nightmares are terrifying, man.

It's crazy how people expect you to keep quiet in the face of abuse. Once you retaliate to protect yourself, you're not the perfect victim anymore. "People want a David vs Goliath story so that they support the underdog ". Well actually, David killed Goliath so what do we do now?

48 Laws of Power was not even written for romantic relationships (still a terrible book tho). Why are you applying Machiavellian court politics to your marriage?💀

One of the laws of power says. “Do not outshine the master”. In a home , naturally the man is the master outshining him by buying a car before him is foolishness.

People who pretend to be safe spaces so they get information to use against you in the future are funny. Have you considered that you may not be the only one with ulterior motives?💀 Have you ever said my name slowly and pondered on its meaning? Are you really the bad guy here?

I hate it when someone centres themselves in other people's lives. Something cannot happen to me because it hasn't happened to you? Who made you the metric of the human experience?

In all of this, I don't believe kids are all innocent. Some people are just evil, trauma or no trauma. I don't care what made you a young bully. I don't care if you witnessed domestic violence or experienced abuse at home. You'll lose your life if you touch my kids🫠

Some of you need to realize that people don't talk to you because they don't like you or they're uncomfortable around you. You're not entitled to anyone's speech. Also, there is nothing uncomfortable about silence. Social anxiety also exists btw.

First kiss was a cultural reset ngl. The flickering lights. The switch from "we shouldn't be doing this" whispers to slamming someone's first born against the wall before growling, "You taste like communion wine" Oh, they don't make boys with religious trauma like me anymore

This! A few of us in my set took History as an additional subject and after one term, an "order from above" came to scrap it from our curriculum. We were so mad, we kept pushing because it was our favorite subject but they said we didn't need it for anything in life.

Left to Nigerian education, nothing about revolution, world wars, civil wars, astronomy, religious theory or even ordinary trans Atlantic slave trade. Ordinary colonialism, they were teaching us advantages and disadvantages. We didn’t even do foreign policy in depth
