The hardest thing is famous phrase ‘in my humble opinion …’, because that’s how they start their message and then continue to offend you.

Or someone tells me to “eat something” because they think I’m too thin, it’s violence because nobody knows what’s really going on. This bothers me and I don’t mind crying, but rather angry.

Life has been pushing me for a long time, it’s telling me: go away, go away, go away? Y I can tell you my days are numbered in this country. (AND)
