Doesnt matter.

I rather overshare than being dead one day and silenced.

I intend to eventually publish a memoir about it, under my real legal name.

I was not supposed to exist in this world.

I was the "extra" "illegal" child born in violation of the One Child Policy

Venting about stuff reaffirms the fact that "Yes I fucking exist in this world"

If it weren't Lemmy, I'd make a blog and post stuff...

Or even reddit...

Or maybe mainstream social media...

Or whatever...

Its just practice writing...

Journaling doesn't scratch the same itch... if you know what I mean...

In China, they'd have silenced me early on...

They literally have government go through your book before they'd let you publish...

Your posts online would mysteriously disappear...

Fuck that, I don't care anymore...

I want to say stuff whenever I feel like it...

RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
