forever not understanding people who make comments to depressed/suicidal people such as “but you have so much/you need to learn to live with what you have/your problems are not important because…”
like, suicidal ideation happens when a person’s problems exceed their ability to cope, aka one person may be entirely capable of dealing with a pretty heavy tragedy while another person may fall apart over a seemingly more trivial event or circumstance
and you being a fucking asshole and telling them they’re being weak is just adding to their agony so if you don’t have anything kind to say why the fuck would you open your mouth????

His mouth was kind of open while he did it. He was totally blown away.
She walked off the field, and she knew everyone was looking at her butt, and she totally loved it. ‘Sorry, boys,’ she called out over her super-sexy shoulder. She always called men boys, because she knew what gender was. Now she was carrying a briefcase and wearing a pencil skirt and sex glasses. She was at law.
‘Your Honor,’ she said, and the Honor paid attention, ‘I’d like to win this case,’ and she totally did, she totally beat that busted-looking male lawyer who had the mushy face and wore suits that didn’t fit. She gave a little fist-pump, because even though she’s tough, she’s still relatable. ‘Girl power,’ she said, high-fiving her curly-haired friend, who had just appeared behind her.
