HORNGRY!!
It takes me a VERY long time to trust me. And even when I let myself trust people it’s never completely.
I allow people into certain realms of trust or trust circles. There are certain levels of trust I bestow on people. There are some people I trust to keep a secret but I might not trust them to babysit Malachi. There are some people I’d trust with my life but wouldn’t let them within an inch of my drivers seat.
There are a handful of people that I completely trust. A handful. And all of these people or either my blood relatives or I consider them family.
I don’t trust Aladdin yet. I adore him and feel like I’m starting to let myself fall in love but I’m having a hard time trusting him completely. I just can’t let go. And I told him that recently. I think that hurt him and now he’s starting to pull away from me.
I didn’t mean to hurt him but I think I did.
He’s a Cancer so I know I’ve gotta just let him be until he decides to get over it. I tried to explain to him that it’s my past experiences with men and even my relationship with my dad or lack there of that causes me to be so cautious. Maybe it just sounded like excuses. But either way I can’t help that I’m scared to get hurt. And he REALLY scares me because I want things between us to work out so bad. I don’t want to lose him…but maybe I already have:(
courage.
from the beginning.
until the end.
FUCK MY LIFE, I JUST BURST INTO TEARS.
he’s amazing.

I had to read The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein for some of my students the other day, and it was crazy how much more the story hit me now as an adult than it did as a kid.
I was trying to figure out why, so I brought it up with my Asian American friend here who /gets it/.
Then we…
You must feel threatened by the way our society is moving away from race, because all of your personal identity you have built up for yourself involves opposition to white people as some ancient and eternal enemy. If you were white it would be easy to say “racist” but you probably don’t believe you are a racist but instead that you have good reason to hate white people. That is also what the white people that hate black people think stops them from being racist. Its whatever.
wow - white people will say anything to denounce their privilege.Obviously you didn’t read what I said. You are just saying that to everyone who disagrees. I am not even white is the best part. I just hate the term “POC” because I don’t believe that all non caucasians (most of the fucking planet) are a homogenous group that should be sharing a word.
PS: It sounds like you have serious Class, Gender, and Health privilege. All three of which are far far far far far far far far far far far more important than race. Ask any rich “POC” if he would be white if it meant being poor or if they would be white if it meant being a woman or crippled.
wow - some poc will say anything to deny white supremacy.
excuse me for thinking you were white - but that doesn’t negate that you’re upholding of white supremacy by spewing this garbage about class, health and gender when we’re talking about white people.
I was trying to talk about white people, but I was invalidated and silenced based on what you thought my skin color was. So I felt it could be a teachable moment to make you uncomfortable by bringing up your own privilege. Especially when it is things you have no control over.
I don’t know what country you are from but green supremacy is what rules America. If you have considerable wealth, you can control anything you want. If you have any facts to dispute this then please reply. If you are just going to insult me more then leave it alone.
dude, I just can’t even waste anymore energy writing about you - because you’re so fucking disillusioned.

Gentlemen. This is what rape culture is like:
Imagine you have a Rolex watch. Nice fancy Rolex, you bought it because you like the way it looks and you wanted to treat yourself. And then you get beaten and mugged and your Rolex is stolen. So you go to the police. Only, instead of investigating the crime, the police want to know why you were wearing a Rolex instead of a regular watch. Have you ever given a Rolex to anyone else? Is it possible you wanted to be mugged? Why didn’t you wear long sleeves to cover up the Rolex if you didn’t want to be mugged?
And then after that, everywhere you go, there are constant jokes about stealing your Rolex. People you don’t even know whistle at your Rolex and make jokes about cutting your hand off to get it. The media doesn’t help either; it portrays people who wear Rolexes as flamboyant assholes who secretly just want someone to come along and take that Rolex off their hands. When damn, all you wanted was to wear a nice watch without getting harassed for it. When you complain that you are starting to feel unsafe, people laugh you off and say that you are too uptight. Never mind you got violently attacked for the crime of wearing a friggin time piece.
Imagining all that? It sucks, doesn’t it.
Now imagine you could never take the Rolex off.

(via lushpuppy)except, being raped is nothing like having a watch stolen. So let’s remember that.
True, getting beaten and having your watch stolen hardly compares to being raped but it is a damn good analogy and one that a man or anyone could relate to/understand.
