There has never been anyone in my life who hasn’t betrayed me
Everyone is a dick, a bitch, a selfish fuckwad
But maybe it’s not them
Maybe it’s me.
So I’ve got a new policy for life: piss people off. It’s the complete opposite of how I used to think.
I’m done forgiving, thinking, caring, worrying
That’s what everyone else does, right? They please themselves, and disregard anyone standing in their way? Until it’s time to face the people they were destroying. Then they turn into a desperate friend begging for your forgiveness…. and then they continue with the selfish pleasure again
it turns out, the only reason they ever wanted forgiveness in the first place is because they were scared you would mess up their pleasing pleasure party
don’t be so quick to forgive. Forgiveness is valuable. It shouldn’t just be thrown around
and that, my friends, is a very scattered and unorganized rambling of thoughts. Brought to you by anger, self-pity, and an unpleasant memory

"Suspicion of committing a crime should lead to your attempted prosecution. If the evidence does not support conviction, it would be against everything we believe in and fight for in America to still allow the government to imprison you at their whim. Tonight, a blow was struck to fight back against those who would take our liberty."
Sen. Rand Paul • In a statement about
how he managed to kill an amendment that was likely to pass by voice vote — an amendment that would have clarified the ability for the U.S. government to hold detainees indefinitely while the War on Terror continued — by merely asking for a recorded vote on the matter. This was an awkward situation many in the Senate were trying to avoid, and as a result, the amendment lost resoundingly — with a 41-59 tally. If Paul hadn’t have spoken up, the bill would’ve received a voice vote and passed under the radar. Not bad, Rand Paul. That’s a moment to put in the ‘ol resume.
