Unpopular Opinion: Respect is still a thing worth considering. Feelings are not invalid, but should be directed in a healthy way and not onto others. Sportsmanship applies to band members too. If I hurt your feelings then we can both grow from the experience. If you insult someone by saying they are like their siblings you are initially destroying a relationship and an outlet. If you refuse to finish an argument you are the one avoiding. Screaming isn't worth it and if you feel like screaming they aren't worth your breath. Self harm is not okay, but is addictive. People miss their depression and self harm episodes (I will personally raise my hand to that one.) Times are easier when you can breathe but sadly I cannot. Anger is one of the most confusing and addictive things ever. Anger management is not impossible, but one of the most difficult challenges most people, including myself, face. You are worth it even when I want to punch you in the face. Love for those that hate you is common and okay. Reacting instead of responding is not okay. People hurt people. Guns don't pull the trigger just like the pen doesn't write the words. People feel like giving up most when they feel like there is no hope or consideration. I miss when I could tell someone to shut up without watching them cry, "you invalidated my feelings." I am a bitch and that is not an unpopular opinion and I do agree with it considering that a bitch is generally truthful and not a yesman that degrades people. I want what's best for my church and band kids, but they are holding me down right now. I care way too much. Sorry for the spam but I can't write a poem to get all of this out. It just isn't possible. So if someone wants to write me something to make me feel any better go for it and if you don't want to then don't. I don't really care. I am just fed up and done. If you are going to be negative we can discuss it like adults.
