But I’ve learned to find it beautiful because I feel the world,” she says.

Disappointed (but not surprised) in the lack of empathy shown by this piece and the commenters. Depression is a physiological condition that, like any other, is eased by status but certainly not nullified by it. Rich beautiful white woman can and do get and die from cancer. They can and do and get and die from…

I don’t know her depression, or your depression - I barely understand mine most days - but if that’s how she comes to grips with her experience, she should be allowed to speak to it.  She isn’t making a sweeping statement about Depression, just her own experience.

And I don’t even think she was describing depression as beautiful but the intensive sensitivity to the world that may have been the locus of it. 

No but how can we know we’re better than other people if we don’t look down our noses at the mainstream? I need to know I’m special!

Exactly.  There’s a big difference between “these crystals will cure your depression” and “I’ve learned to live with my depression in a way I can experience as beautiful.” For her to describe the latter is not a personal attack on people who don’t share her experience, but this article sure feels like a personal…

This x 100.

Imagine expressing how you have learned to cope with your mental health, only to be told you’re wrong because it might not be relatable for everyone.

I imagine these 2 walking and sounding like someone rubbing two huge rubber balloons together.

She never should have put herself in the position to be criticized. 

I like Adele a lot. She’s funny and straightforward in a way celebrities rarely are. I just wish I liked her music but I can’t. She has a lovely voice but the way she sings is so fucking annoying and the songs themselves are both melodramatic and so fucking bland. 

I honestly think that’s one of the biggest reasons everyone is broken up about the whole thing; once you get past the “hero” aspect of Kobe Bryant, you also have a guy was supremely (and as you say, visibly) proud of his family of girls. This is a man who trained his entire life to be the biggest, strongest, most…

There was always a question posed to Kobe after the birth of every one of his daughters and it was always along the lines of “ are you going to keep trying for a boy?” He made it a point to encourage the 2 older ones to excel in their chosen sports....and I just don’t see the need to split hairs over a hashtag meant…

Paris Hilton was an omen none of us heeded. 

OMG you're right. Your comment made this picture creepier!!!

This is the context a woman was fired from her job for tweeting a woman or man cannot change their sex. A judge then upheld the firing claiming her views were “Absolutist”. Here is where I think the discussion is getting a little outlandish. There is two concepts, “sex” and “gender” which while related I would argue…

“Trump Issues Long-Form Paper-Based Impeachment Tweet”

My dad cheated on my mom the entire 27 years they were married, and finally left her for the love of his life, who was a haint sent from the underworld to destroy all joy. When dad died, he’d been married to the haint for 27 years as well, and my mom STILL REFERRED TO HIM AS HER HUSBAND. She’s prewritten her own…
