Admittedly, it’s an extremely thought provoking prompt

It really is! When I first read it, so many things came to mind instantly.

I have been thinking about item #1 on my list since I saw your title and getting mad at myself because it’s Friday, I’m off today and I have better shit to do than give a shit about some pure bullshit, but I appreciate your forcing me to accept that it’s time to let go of all this silly shit!

Love this prompt. Number 4 is always on my mind.

I wish so much, for the privilege of a white man who couldn’t not care for a broken system because it benefited me. Thank you for your vulnerability.

Great prompt. I’m sorry about what you experienced with your friend. I think what you described highlights one of the reasons why people can be reluctant to talk about their mental health. In the wrong hands, it can be taken out of context and that person will use it as a catch-all while not looking at their own behaviour.

And that is exactly what happened. It is not a friendship that was a major loss, nor do I miss it. She is definitely someone who lacks self-awareness and accountability.

I love this prompt. Gonna be thinking about it. I think how I feel with number four is that we lived in a world where I didn’t have to give a shit about these things.
