Self love is one of my biggest weaknesses. But knowing that my parents would support me made coming out easier.]]> 2019-05-21 17:31:12 UTC https://padlet.com/421527/4vil9e3p3o5f/wish/362245393 421527 https://padlet.com/421527/4vil9e3p3o5f/wish/362247421 When kids say that they hate their parents or their family it is something that really frustrates me. My parents separated when I was three years old. I'd go over to my friend's house and see their dad and mom living under one roof. I'd go home and cry because I never had that.]]> 2019-05-21 17:35:49 UTC https://padlet.com/421527/4vil9e3p3o5f/wish/362247421 421527 https://padlet.com/421527/4vil9e3p3o5f/wish/362255507 When I would drive in the car with my dad he would always play what I called "old people" music. In 2016, my dad had relapsed and I was not allowed to see him. One night I tried listening to some of his music on YouTube. It was my way of feeling close to him. After the first song I felt a very strange feeling. I remember thinking to myself 'wow this doesn't actually suck'. I never really expected to fall in love with punk rock music. This picture was at a Descendents concert, my first concert.]]> 2019-05-21 17:51:07 UTC https://padlet.com/421527/4vil9e3p3o5f/wish/362255507 421527 https://padlet.com/421527/4vil9e3p3o5f/wish/362258258 I hate my generation. We are incapable of having meaningful conversations. We think that people want to know that we're #OrderingPizza. Nobody gives a ... feck.]]> 2019-05-21 17:56:24 UTC https://padlet.com/421527/4vil9e3p3o5f/wish/362258258 421527 https://padlet.com/421527/4vil9e3p3o5f/wish/362261619 I did competitive dance for five years. I'm constantly asked why I dance. For me there is no greater feeling in the world than moving to a piece of music and letting the rest of the world disappear. This picture is my dance team at one of our first competitions.]]> 2019-05-21 18:03:31 UTC https://padlet.com/421527/4vil9e3p3o5f/wish/362261619 421527 https://padlet.com/421527/4vil9e3p3o5f/wish/362263655 My mom would take my brother and me to church on the weekends. We were pretty inconsistent. Partially due to the fact that were forgetful but also that my brother and I are atheists. This always caused tension between my mom and me.]]> 2019-05-21 18:07:54 UTC https://padlet.com/421527/4vil9e3p3o5f/wish/362263655 421527 https://padlet.com/421527/4vil9e3p3o5f/wish/362320510 I think that technology has done amazing things for the world. However, it has turned my generation into a bunch of mouth-breathers. After an hour without a phone they feel like they're on the verge of death. People go out with their friends and stare at their phone the whole time. ]]> 2019-05-21 20:45:59 UTC https://padlet.com/421527/4vil9e3p3o5f/wish/362320510 421527 https://padlet.com/421527/4vil9e3p3o5f/wish/362324068 I would say that I don't dress like the typical girl. I prefer band t-shirts and flannels. Dresses, skirts, and crop tops aren't really my calling. ]]> 2019-05-21 21:01:51 UTC https://padlet.com/421527/4vil9e3p3o5f/wish/362324068 421527 https://padlet.com/421527/4vil9e3p3o5f/wish/362327651 I started shaving my head in 7th grade because it was super damaged from constantly dying it. When I'm at work customers often say 'thank you sir'. Society has predetermined gender norms and frankly I don't agree with them. Just because I have short hair doesn't mean I'm guy. People are afraid of things that are out of the norm.]]> 2019-05-21 21:17:51 UTC https://padlet.com/421527/4vil9e3p3o5f/wish/362327651 421527 https://padlet.com/421527/4vil9e3p3o5f/wish/362329608 There are many stereotypes about Irish people. 1. We're always drunk 2. Red hair 3. We're extremely friendly 4. Potatoes are our primary food group. Just like every other stereotype they don't apply to everyone. However, #4 does have some truth for my family. At Thanksgiving, the amount of potatoes and turkey is about equal. I'll admit we do enjoy potatoes a little more than average.]]> 2019-05-21 21:29:08 UTC https://padlet.com/421527/4vil9e3p3o5f/wish/362329608
