7. All that, plus it doesnt matter

It doesn't matter what we say

How we say it

To people who toss around statements like those, it is always "the wrong way", "the wrong approach", or "the wrong thing to say".

I am exhausted from it. Just exhausted. From real life, more than from DU.

Fuck everyone who pulls that shit anywhere anytime.

That is akin to invalidating my life experience --- to telling me and everyone else who has a "problem" with it that our opinion doesn't count.

Nobody gets to tell me my experience is "wrong".

Nobody.
