And when we use them as references for how things have changed for the better or worse, I think what we forget is we are talking about actual people people people people people who used to exist. And how that is just so sad. Because with enough time passing, even people people become tools, memories or remnants of a person's existence becomes just a means to an end of sorts. So I came across this image, this image which probably is an invitation sent out for someone's daughter's birthday
I would rather see the beauty and the amazingness in a buncha people, people, people and be able to respect these different facets and want to have those facets a part of my life and you know what I mean? Anyway, I don't know, I'm sort of not going to say the word

Does it harm us? Well, as a society, yes. At times this kind of stereotyping does a great deal of harm. But on a day to day basis I don't think it makes so much of a difference. As long as we are not segregating the people people people people people whom we interact with on a daily basis into two groups. And we are saying, okay, these people people, people are positive. These are negative. No, that is bad. That is bad

This is exactly it like, even I try to check myself and then it's like, what was all this, like, moralizing about anyway? I do the same thing specifically. Like, it's something of this sort

And I think, like many ways, I'm doing disservice to both of us. I am assuming that she led a sad life, which is not true. She's one of the happiest people I know, not met a happy soul like her. To this date, she doesn't exist anymore. But there's that I did disservice to her lived experience when I said that she was not even allowed to go to school. And here I am complaining about homework and such
And I think that the more I practice checking myself and reintroducing shades of gray, then maybe it becomes less habit, less practice and more innate or intuitive or something like that. And so maybe, although it may be unavoidable, maybe it becomes less common in my life. Or at least that's my theory. I mean, it would be nice to be able to zoom out, to look at my life and see where and when I did what
Oh, by the way, you don't have to listen back to all of my stuff. I mean, really, it's a mixed bag and there's not even although I feel good sometimes putting them out there, that doesn't mean it's quality, let's just put it that way, or let alone entertaining or interesting to listen to. And there's never any pressure from me anyway that you listen anand to any, let alone all of them, so don't put that on yourself

Shaped by perhaps a lot of the thought processes that went in at that time and how various situation circumstances have sort of affected people people people who were impacted by those decisions made, et cetera, et cetera. And of course, as you pointed out, there is a certain level of judgmentalism that does go in because neither are we privy to what was going on in their minds at that time, neither do we have a good understanding, deep understanding of the situation circumstances

So not to put any pressure on you, but I think that's what you're doing. In the long scheme of things, let's say ten years down the line, when hopefully Christina is thinking about writing something or creating something uniquely her own, maybe she will have some thoughts that began in cute little selfies. Cute, funny, awkward little selfies and glittery poops. And questions about philosophy, of course. So I think don't begrudge your process. Your process is absolutely wonderful

Oh, that is such a nice way of looking at it, that at the end of the day, it's about compassion. Even when you give in to some of your, let's say, not so kind instincts that I think all of us have and all of us succumb to due to different different reasons. Compassion at the end of the day is, I suppose, ah, that which allows us to carry on as the waiver son or the waiver daughter or the waiver child
Because it gives them a better idea. I don't like when people, people, people pedestalize me and I don't like when people, people, people, people dismiss me, just see me and appreciate the gold when it's there and the silliness or awkwardness when it's there because it's all me
And so it's like just accepting the moment that you may look back on thinking, what was that? But working with it instead of denying it or trying to hide it
