please don’t let yourself, your thoughts, your actions, your feelings, etc. fall too easily into two-category systems (black or white, bad or good, positive or  negative, etc.). it is incredibly reductive of your humanity. i invite you here — into this space that i occupy with all of the dark as opposed to light, all of the silent when everyone craves something blaring. i just worry about my little sister and girls like her. i worry about it all. i wish people weren’t too afraid to fall on the other side of an invisible scale. and if no one else thinks it’s alright — if anyone makes you feel like your “bad” actually is that — that it could fit so tightly in a word, just ask them what defines “negativity.” what is the tipping point? and if they cannot draw the line, forever draw it for yourself. your unfortunate, your already happened and possibly hurtful or painful can live right beside all the sweet. and i just hope that no one is made to feel like it can’t. no part of you can fit on either side of an impossible, imaginary measurement unless it wants to be confined forever. and if you were sad yesterday, feel no super urge to be happy today because those are just words and what is underneath is a moving, living thing and there is love to overrule it all. just don’t, please? i’ll listen and i understand. i’ve got you.
