Things I Hate

I hate close-minded people who clutch bigotry with the same fervency they would a lover – ironically, those people will never truly know love.

I hate the audacity of any person / government / administration on some kind of sick power trip telling people who they can or cannot love / marry / protect.

I hate that I cannot truly hate him; even after all he’s done.

I hate abusive people.

I hate jealous, immature girls who stoop to call other girls “like so ugly” just because they didn’t get their way in a relationship.

I hate men, of any age, who chose to feel powerful by intimidating women with catcalls or physical force.

I hate rape culture victim blaming because it’s easier than demanding change to centuries old patriarchy.

I hate physical fights.

I hate emotionally / verbally abusive fights.

I hate the disproportionate pressure put on women to achieve / adapt to the media’s daily definition of “beautiful”.

I hate most aspects of my body.

I hate that most days I’d rather be distracted by the Internet than depend on my own creativity to live my hours.

I hate that people scare me so much.

I hate that I’m so afraid to take risks.

I hate that I waste so much time.

I hate that I’m constantly aware to how little time I have to waste.

I hate that it’s so easy for people to become parents.

I hate spiders (and most bugs, to be honest).

I hate the grey area of “acceptable” conditions to murder (war, capital punishment).  I also hate that my opinions on those issues remain trapped in the quicksand of that grey area.

I hate public displays of selfish rudeness – It is not an employee’s fault that you are incapable of reading a coupon correctly, you narcissistic asshole. Please stop screaming, cursing, and making everyone else around you feel both personal discomfort and pointed hatred.

I hate that the only goal my mother seems to have for me is to immediately find a husband and have his babies.

I hate that true love is not guaranteed.

I hate that traveling is so expensive.

I hate the “Murica” mindset that insists the United States is the best and only country that exists – it prevents us from progressing, appreciating worldly culture, and thinking objectively / critically about our country’s issues.

I hate that I aspire to be a completely different person than I am, yet I am not disciplined enough to change.
