i wonder this a lot, but i don’t believe in religion because what kind of “god” or person to look up to would let people suffer through horrible things such as abuse, rape, war, murder, torture, and claim that he’s only putting you through these things to test you? what kind of person to look up to would send you to hell for things you can’t control? things like jealousy and stuff are considered sins. really, they’re normal emotions for humans to feel so i’ve always wondered. i never really leaned into christianity too heavily anyways but i always like to think of it like what buddhists think, nirvana not exactly nonexistence but it isn’t existing either, it’s kind of just a place of complete and total peace.

Borrowed Time SERIOUSLYYY it got to a point where i started rooting for whoever the killer was.

i need some more books to read but i’ve also read a lot lately so here are some of my suggestions:

jude by kate morgenroth
to kill a mockingbird by harper lee (for older people if you didn’t read it in english)
the sun is also a star by nicola yoon
verity by colleen hoover (i typically don’t read books from booktok but i gave this one a try and it had me hooked)
they did it with love by kate morgenroth
arc of a scythe trilogy by neal shusterman
fablehaven series by brandon mull
the housemaid by freida mcfadden (i don’t exactly love her cause she makes heavy ya books and i hate ya books cause most times they’re really watered down and stupid but this one was really good)

opposite of a suggestion, don’t read the inmate by freida mcfadden, the main character is so FUCKING stupid it’s gonna piss you off if you have any sense, warning SPOILERS BELOW

Spoiler

for me personally, i definitely have a few i’ll lay out that actually may surprise some people because i dont tell people about my boundaries as much as i should.

• don’t talk shit about people i’m close with/friends with to me. i’d rather you not talk badly upon people i’m close with unless you ask first (preferably not at all) because it puts me in a weird spot where i don’t want to tell your business or like, cause drama but i also don’t wanna be fake to my friends and not tell them that someone they like/are friends with doesn’t really like them anymore or smth.

• don’t sexualize me. this should be common sense but yk, that doesn’t seem to be so common here. so if i send you a photo of me or if i’m showing you something on call, unless you have permission (which you won’t unless we’re dating), don’t make comments about my body or anything. like calling me pretty/handsome/beautiful/fine is okay, i don’t mind those compliments but when it gets to be sexual it makes me uncomfortable.

• don’t send me weird shit. unless you’re a gc with specific permission, don’t send me NSFW photos/videos/pictures, which should also be common sense but yk. NSFW is not just sexual stuff, it’s gore and other stuff of that sort too.

• feel free to vent to me but don’t use me as a punching bag. if you’re gonna vent about suicidal thoughts or ideation let me know before hand as well so i can prepare myself, you can vent about it, i’d just like to know. and if you vent, don’t take your anger or feelings out on me, i’m not a punching bag.

• don’t screenshot things i say out of context and send it to other people without my permission. again, common sense but you know. this one makes sense. i don’t want things i say to be taken in any other manner than the one i said it in.

• don’t confess having feelings for me out of nowhere. idk it’s just weird, if you’re gonna confess at least warn me or hint at it heavily or something, i’d rather that not be somethings that out of the blue someone just says that to me because it makes me feel weird.

• don’t talk about my exes/people i’ve cut off and made it clear i’ve cut off to me. i don’t care about their life anymore if i’ve cut them off or they’re no longer involved in my life so don’t bring them up. i’ve moved on and i genuinely couldn’t care less what the fuck they have going on in their lives at that point.

• don’t attack me randomly, you will get blocked.

• don’t pretend to speak one of the languages i speak for “bonus points” with me. i’ll recognize if you don’t actually speak it so quickly, so don’t lie. it doesn’t help you anyways. just cause you speak the same language as me doesn’t make you any cooler in my eyes. if you’re a sucky person you suck regardless of what language you speak. bullshit and toxic are the same in every language.

anyways thats mine, what are yours?

so it’s important to have boundaries, whether it be in a friendship, relationship, job environment, school environment whatever, what are some boundaries that you have, or boundaries that you think everyone should have or that should just be common sense?
