"one of my special interests is evolutionary biology and its honestly very soothing in a lot of ways. the idea that things come into being not because they were designed to be a certain way but because it happens that something they have works well enough for them to survive is calming. you cant be broken or wrong when there was no "correct" body and mind to conform to in the first place.
my body, my fat, my autism, my lesbianism, those are all things that just... are. there is no goal for my body to meet, and no standard to deviate from. its fine the way it is
as humans, we can define success in any way we want, but as long as im living and breathing, im doing fine as far as natural existence is concerned. things are too complicated and sprawling and random to fit into boxes, and its okay to exist however i happen to be"

i dont care if it was a scam or not. just do nice things for people sometimes

another time, my dad gave 50 bucks to a guy who said he needed to buy medicine for his kids. i told my dad he was probably going to spend the money on alcohol or something, but my dad said that "whether he was lying or not says something about HIS character, but hearing someone in need and choosing not to help when i have the meanst to says something about mine" "
