my problem with iranians who have immigrated is the personal narratives they try to sell to others in an effort to feel better about their own choices and depressions or whatever they’re dealing with. acting like we need to give them a medal for being brave enough to leave this place is insane, your life had the privileges and opportunities to leave. no one’s blaming you but it is entirely on you and if its hard its part of your decision genuinely. and don’t get me started on the way they start posting about “no way back home” or “theres no home left to return to” while having parents and siblings here @1&:9:&.9: like it’s okay to not want to come back but you are NOT in exile it’s fundamentally a different situation.
and my last qualm is how they imply theres nothing left in iran not just for them but in general, talking about this country like a failed project or scorched earth when millions of people are studying, working, living and falling in love here like you left. you left and iran’s still standing albeit very weak and very exhausted

people acting like the unattainable female beauty standards were made up by trans women and not that trans women are simply affected by it and try to meet that criteria like cis women do 😭😭😭😭 lets look at the root of the problem mama

the thing about depression is that everything feels out of nowhere and every emotion feels for no reason and an overreaction and then as it goes on you feel worse and worse because you feel like you’re just useless and dramatic and a pointless creature wasting space

annoying ass people with no actual mental illness or disordered thinking LOOOOOVE quoting david lynch not going to therapy bcs it mightve affected his creativity like that man didn’t do Transcendental Meditation which is a kind of prayer in itself
🕊17
there are people out there that struggle with suicidal thoughts and can’t even eat a meal in peace who gives a FUCK about creativity when you’re not gonna live to create anything
🕊29
when you know you’re weak and sensitive so you’re scared of the whole world and any possible futures because you won’t be able to handle it

I’m just scared and sad for people who need life saving medicine and don’t have access to it due to shortage or the high prices. that’s truly the worst part of all of it imo
