minus-squareFerretyFever0@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up18arrow-down2·11 days agoA lot of the time when someone thinks that something is a phase, it’s not. Assume it’s permanent, and act as such.

minus-squareCevilia (she/they/…)@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·11 days agoI blame society. People see changing one’s mind as a sign of weakness, they call it “flip-flopping” and such like. In reality, it takes guts to change your mind, especially over something so personal. And I’m tired of pretending it doesn’t.
