Just some things that have been on my mind.
The only reason we value love it is supposed to protect us. It is supposed to mean we will be cherished. So don’t expect me to appreciate a love I cannot are. Don’t expect anyone to be satisfied with the knowledge of a love that never touches them.
You can be sick, abused, or in all kinds of terrible situations that may make people feel sorry for you, but none of it means you’re a good person.
I have come to appreciate teenage boys in ways I did not expect to when I taught them: I never had to tell them to stop dancing. The girls fill me with questions: Why do you want to dance in break when your lunch area is outside and it’s 40 degrees? Why, when I tell you it’s time to go to class, do you dance around me in a circle? Why do you think the school bus is an acceptable place to twerk? WHY
I’m wary of anyone who seems to convinced of their own niceness. Too often their train of thought goes: I’m a good person; therefore, what I did cannot be wrong. Then it stops. For a long time.
There are plenty of people who care about your existence. The special ones care about your feelings. And the people who only care about your feelings when they aren’t the ones who hurt you definitely do not count.
The tragic events that make us lose our faith in God are the same ones that make us wish we still believed.

There is definitely a difference between love, security and appreciation. I feel like the last two are byproducts of love. However, the opposite isn’t the same.
Some people do need validation and reassurance that they are good people, the same ones who have gone through trauma. Thing is, anyone else doing the same mistake they had made should be held even more accountable. Because they did not go through the same terrible experiences others went through. I’m not saying abused people have an excuse, but they definitely can be justified.
Also, im not a teacher and in no way am I experienced but boys do have the chance to be active after school, especially with their friends. Girls don’t. Well, at least not in most communities here. I feel like girls being around each other in such a large number fills them with joy and hypes them up, in a way. I’m only saying so because that’s what most of my classmates, me included, feel.
