Hey guys, how are y’all? I had a temple trip today. It was pretty fun. My ward has a big bus with lights and a big tv that we drive to stake events and such, so we watched some BoM videos, as well as The Christ Child. Then we pirated the Prince of Egypt on YouTube, before realizing that one of us could just sign into his Peacock account and watch it legally, without ads and poor video/sound quality.
That movie… the soundtrack is out of this world. It is SO. GOOD. I can’t even describe it. That ALONE puts up high in my favorite movies. Very few movies have such good music, save a few musicals in the Phantom of the Opera vein.
I love it.
In other news, I am narrating the primary’s Christmas Program tomorrow during church. I lost the “script” so I guess I’ll just read whatever they put in front of me. I’m also getting sick so hopefully my voice will work. I’d hate for Narrator 2 to have to do the whole thing. I’m not really sure why I was the one YM asked (besides my buttery smooth voice, captivating tone and personality, and dashing good looks), but I am probably one of the least awkward of my friends. We’re an odd bunch.
I kind of forgot how to close a statement, so pretend there’s some sort of a clean finish to my random thoughts. I actually didn’t have a plan for what I was going to say when I started typing, so I hope it’s interesting.

Gosh dang it, do y’all ever feel yourselves teetering on the edge? Like you know that as soon as you stop smiling… the self hatred will seep in? That as soon as you stop going, going, going all the time, hopelessness will take over?
I try not to let the world kick me down for my beliefs over and over again, but I’m a straight, white, Christian (specifically “Mormon”), conservative male, and everything society tells me is that I’m worthless. That I should kill myself and everyone like me. That we’re parasites upon society. That all I do is make others feel like trash by standing in the same room. That I hate everyone, even though everyone hates me.
I’m sorry. I know everyone on here will disagree with me, and I might offend some other group that will scream at me that I don’t know what bad emotions feel like and I’m oppressing them. I should just hold backspace and turn off my phone. But I’m a weak little guy, and I’m just going to complain instead.
SpoilerGuys, it’s probably all good. I’m fine, or trying to be. I’m sorry.

Thanks guys. You’re right.
QuoteI don't think it has to do with what you believe, or your gender identity, or even the storming color of your skin. People will make you feel bad no matter what and eventually, you just have to kind of ignore them. Because they aren't worth your time, and you shouldn't be focusing on what they think, or what they want
You are totally right here, but the thing is people will nitpick at that sort of stuff without getting to know you first, regardless of how you fit into those demographics.
Normally I’m very much the type of person to ignore everything, but that’s easier said than done, as I’m sure you can all agree.
I can feel myself starting to fall down a slope, with my hands and feet constantly moving, trying to grab rocks that just slip away.
But your words of advice and comfort are very appreciated. You guys are truly some of the best people I have the privilege to communicate with.
