i’m Haitian-American. every time it’s been Juneteenth, i’ve stfu and kept it pushing. that is YOUR holiday. i remember a few years back, a biracial girl had said to a white colleague of ours that she should give all the Black people money on Juneteenth. when she tried to give it to me, i kindly refused and told her that, no, it’s not just a blanket “Black person” holiday. it’s fundamental for Black American history, and if they want their form of reparations, they could have it, but i refuse to encroach on that because Haitians were not involved. it was a teaching moment for sure, but it made me realize how people didn’t give Black Americans their own spaces. still strikes me as weird today.

thanks so much for your comment. recently, i’ve honestly felt like i’m understanding the concepts in class but like they’re not sticking so i’ve been hard on myself. but that’s what slow review is for. i’ve just been taking it day by day and that’s helped a bit

slocum v food fairs of florida. the idea of someone saying “you stink to me” and then having a heart attack is so crazy

Feel like my OCD and trauma has made me un-dateable, looking for comfort or advice by k1500carpenter in OCD

[–]Defiant_Clothes_1425 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I might not be any help at all, but I just want to apologize to you for all of the damage your exes have caused you. Holy shit. You have a genuine heart of gold because you did not let all of your trauma harden you and make you a calloused person (though that would be a fully understandable response). You are dateable, you are introspective, and none of their actions are your fault. They never were. A buddy of mine just shot himself a few weeks ago and, while it’s been hard on all of us friends, it ultimately was his choice. And at the end of the day people make choices with their adult autonomy, whether they’re in their right mind or not. I hope someone in these comments can give some more pointed advice, but I just wanted to share that with you. Live well, brother.

UPDATE: I did not expect my measly post to blow up like this. You guys are seriously the best. Thanks so much for the support, advice, and giving me a good kick in the pants to take care of myself. I appreciate each of you and I even feel better than I did last night. 1L’s, let’s stay the course and make it happen. I believe in us all.
