Yo. We need to stop tossing the word drama around so freely.
We need to remember that we’ll always be outsiders to other peoples perspectives/encounters.
Everyone handles things differently by order of convenience.
We don’t know what that persons been through to a full extent.
By classifying something as drama, we could potentially be marking situations like harassment as petty.
We need to remember that we don’t really know what we’d do in a situation unless we’re actually in it.
We need to remember that everyone is raised differently so their reasoning isn’t the same and that doesn’t make them more or less superior.
We need to remember that everyone is entitled to a voice.
We need to remember that those offended should be able to defend themselves.
We need to remember that if it doesn’t involve ourselves, then we do have a choice not to intervene.
We need to remember that if a person is blocked, but continues to harass the individual, they can defend themselves publicly if they feel unsafe to do it by private means for someone elses convenience (ex: messages or asks).
We need to remember that if we’re not involved, it’s none of our business and we can walk away.
We need to remember all of this. I’m guilty of doing it too, but dude, it’s just not good for the soul.
In the end, we need to remember that we are a community and no community is perfect and we can’t allow ourselves to be suppressed. These words are filled with concern and absolute love. Let’s strive to be more understanding. We don’t have to condone everything we see, but let’s try to not be so angry about it.
People should feel safe on their own blogs.
