I received the following toots from anther Mastodon user yesterday. They knew they wanted the post to be seen but didn't feel confident posting it through their normal account.

The subtoots to this are their words, unedited.

[cotd]

This mind set I want to end. I crave to end. I have been shamed for being a victim, for not having the emotions that I “should” for not behaving or thinking the way that I “should”. There is no “should” there is only what you, the individual is or feels or thinks. Each person has their own individual truths and there can not be judgement for the uniqueness that is a population or a species.
