when ‘because I wanted to’ just isn’t enough, here are some suggestions for how to answer the question above:
- ‘I’m preparing to be a super-spy’
- ‘I want to marry a rich person on their deathbed. I’ve found myself a target, but they don’t speak [my language], so I’m learning their language’
- ‘I just really like [fictional franchise which has nothing to do w/ the language you’re learning]’
- solidly punch the asker in the face
- ‘only one country has this as an official language and their economy’s going down the shitter. I’m learning this language b/c I want to limit my career prospects’
- ‘I - I don’t know. fuck. no I have no idea why I’m learning this. shit shit shit. I thought this was a chemistry course what do you mean I’ve been learning [insert language here] this whole time’
Over the past year, my sexual fetishes have been slowly getting more perverse; But it wasn't until I spanked a statue that I realized I'd hit rock bottom.
You do not have to forgive someone who sexually abuses you.
Even if they are your partner, friend, or family. You are not obligated to forgive them.
There is zero obligation to “put the incident behind you” to move forward. You are already moving forward. You do not need to speak with them or forgive them in order to move on.
You do not need to talk to them again. Whether they think that you can make peace or not. You do not need to speak with them. You are not obligated to forgive them.
If someone violated you in any way you owe them less than nothing. You can move forward without their input. You can be strong without forgiving them.
And most of all, you can become a better you without giving forgiveness to someone that hurts you.
