what relationships should NOT be:
filled with anxiety, self-doubts, extreme jealousy
a one-way thing
never stepping out of your comfort zone
blantantly forces you to do something you don’t want to do
hostile atmosphere is ever-present
lack of autonomy
uncomfortable, stagnant, undermining, empty
forgetting that you have a life outside of your relationship
make you feel limited, inferior, confined, always exhausted, insufficient
compromise your mental health and growth
what relationships should be:
promotes your welfare
filled with trust, honesty, and a stable communication
freedom to choose and speak
mental health is considered a priority
two-way thing
a safe, supportive space for both of you
empowers and fulfils you
might be filled with both the good stuff and sometimes bad stuff
^ but only because it helps you grow
a constant journey of self-discovery

I’ve been having a bad couple of weeks and I just really needed to hear these:
You are NOT a burden
You are valued
You are NOT a shitty friend, even when you think you are
You don’t need to have it all figured out yet
It’s OK to have bad days
And it’s OK to hide from the world if you’re having a bad day
Because sometimes you just need to have some time to yourself
And that’s OK
You don’t have to do anything that you don’t want to
What happened to you in the past is NOT your fault
Don’t feel guilty for not being productive
It’s going to be OK
Breathe
Relax
Recharge
YOU ARE WANTED
YOU ARE LOVED
YOU CAN DO THIS
I BELIEVE IN YOU
Y'all can like JD and ship him and Veronica if you want, but remember not to excuse his actions. He killed three teenagers and tried to blow up his school, and because he did that he is a terrorist.
Was his life incredibly sad? Yes. Would things have turned out better if this and that didn’t happen? Yes. But we can’t overlook just how horrible he was by the movie’s end. Heather, Kurt, and Ram were all terrible people, but they were also kids. They were all close to leaving Sherwood, and hopefully becoming better people once they were in the real world, but they never got to know the real world because of JD.
And JD abused Veronica. Was JD entirely to blame? No, some fault fell on Veronica, but it was always clear that JD was the mastermind and at the end of the day Veronica was a victim. He tried to get in her head, and convince her she wanted Kurt and Ram dead, he tricked her into helping him murder them. When Veronica was trying to leave him, he pinned her to his couch and forcibly kissed her. When she faked her suicide, he was already climbing into her window to kill her.
JD is a sad character, terribly sad. Certain interactions between him and Big Bud Dean drive me to near tears sometimes, but he’s still a terrorist and he’s still abusive. You can make JD blogs, you can sympathize with him, and you can ship him with Veronica. Just understand that you cannot excuse him, you can’t want a relationship like he and Veronica had, and you certainly can’t want a JD for yourself to fall in love with in real life. That beings said, please take these words to heart next time you watch the movie and musical and imagine yourself with a person like JD. Thank you, I love all.
