Misty meeting her and Cordelia’s daughter Mallory for the first time
You say I am too young
too young to be a feminist
too young to know my own sexuality
too young to be depressed
too young to protest
too young
too naive
and they are right
I am too young
too young to be scared that one day bullets will be ricocheting in the halls of my school, that a bullet will hit my bestfriend and I’ll have to watch the light leave her eyes, and know that I will never be able to apologize for that stupid little fight, knowing I will never be able to laugh, smile, hug, or talk with her again, knowing I will never get to say a final I love you with a proper goodbye
too young to be scared of getting raped, that one day I might be walking alone and a man might have his way with me, because apparently the way I dressed was asking for it
too young to be scared that maybe one day I’ll find one of my friends in pool of her own bright red blood, her wrist slit as she lays on her bathroom floor, because she decided dying was worth it, pills like candy surrounding her, some falling out of her mouth from where she would rather be in a daze, not knowing about this reality, that I will know I couldn’t save her in time
too young to be scared of maybe seeing a face I know on the news channel one day because Zay was black and was older than he looked, and kinda seemed suspicious, so a white middle aged cop shot him multiple times for “self defense” even if Zay was unarmed and had his hands in the air
too young to be scared that my lgbt+ friends might be killed, harmed, or abandoned because all they needed was some love and acceptance, instead they get haters and rejection because they are “sinners” who are just “confused”
too young to be sobbing because of the nightly news, because I know that this world could be better but we choose not to
too young for my crying to be real and it’s just a cry for attention, because apparently we aren’t old enough to grieve
too young to be scared of war that might happen and I’m not even old enough to fight in
you say I am too young
and you are right
I am too young
too young for
and
along with
and
to be normal for me
I shouldn’t be desensitized to all of these things in this violent reality
so yes I am too young
but can you blame me
for my hyper awareness of the world around me
my generation was born with technology, so information has all been there for us
and we are told to sit still and be quiet
cause the adults are talking
but you had your chance
it is our turn to speak
and to fight for what we think is right
and for you to listen
because we are filled with a raging fire
and every breath we take is toxic
filled with hate, death, and misery
that has been so deeply implanted in our society
you say we are “too sensitive”
we are “hormonal teens who can’t control their emotions”
and therefore “cannot have an opinion”
you can no longer ignore us as we yell for change
because of the DEATH of our fellow classmates
and the BLOOD of our friends
has helped pave the way for our revolution
your generation may have won the battles
but my generation will be the one to win the war
and my generation will instill change and peace
because we grew up in a hating world that was spiraling into death and darkness
and our biggest fear wasn’t dying
it was watching your generation ruin this planet
and we shed our tears for it
but we intend to fix your careless mistakes
(Sorry for the long post. Also it’s 1:30 am so there will be mistakes.)

Guys... guys! I’m dying. Buckle up Harold. Here we go again
Enemies to “ugh I can’t believe I’m saving your life” to “ugh we have to work together or the world ends but it’s not like I like you or anything” to “oh we actually connect pretty well but that doesn’t mean anything” to “I would die for you but don’t read too much into it” to “I’ll kill anyone who lays a finger on you” to Lovers.

We moved around a lot when I was a kid, ‘cause of my mom’s postings. It was hard to get accepted - and when you’re fifteen, that’s all you want. You’ll do almost anything. [You got pregnant.] Yeah. I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t tell my mom. Matthew suggested I talk with our priest. He said that if I had an abortion, I wasn’t welcome in his congregation. Matthew found a doctor. He took me there. He stayed with me. That Sunday, when we got back to Rome, he held my hand and walked me into the church. Father Gamino actually stopped his sermon, but Matthew told me to hold my head up, and we walked to the front pew. [Father Gamino] and Matthew just stared at each other. It was like a battle of wills, and - and then suddenly, Father Gamino went back to his sermon.
— unique, or maybe even special.
