world, and people are going to notice. Nobody is invisible. It's up to you to surround yourself with people who care and nurture and accept every part of you, who won't criticize or belittle you, people who understand the anxieties and the illnesses and are willing to adapt to what you need from them. We do exist. We might not always make the first move, but we are there when you need us.
and i know it isnt that simple... I spent the majority of my life really terrified of going out in public...I guess at some point something just changed...
who love and care about me who send me pictures of baby sloths when I'm having a bad day because they know it'll cheer me up. If I focus on the people who think I'm weird because of it, I'll lose that connection with the people I love. It takes a lot of self-actualization to get to that point, to know that people are judging you and yet still doing it and being you, but that's what this whole "safe space" thing is about, right? Giving students a feeling of security that they will not be judged
I think at the end of the day, people are going to judge you and notice things about your life that you don't want them to, and it's up to the people who try to be non-judgmental and open-minded and all of the things that are being accomplished with UNBSU to prove to those people that are being judged that the qualities they are being judged for are the very qualities that make them some of the best people. I reeeally like sloths, and some people think that's really weird, but then I have people
I certainly wasn't trying to lie to you. I don't use twitter and rarely go on facebook. i don't really have time in my life for shallow judgemental people.. and I know that seems too simple, but they don't matter.
for being themselves, anxieties and quirks and illnesses alike, because someone, somewhere, is looking for someone with those very quirks and is ready to not only accept and tolerate them, but embrace and develop them. Had I not embraced the fact that I am destined to have tall friends, I would have never developed the friendship that I have with you or Karen, and that would have sucked. Word vomit aside, what I'm trying to say is that there are judgmental people and non-judgmental people in the

Everyone tells me that, Kevin, it isn't just you.
