@ Jamie Me too! I also have the fear. Now I am afraid to go to Walmart. I think I will actually put on proper make-up etc. when I go there now. LOL.

Thank you for saying what I was feeling and couldn’t express… except the fear that I’ll end up on People of Walmart myself one day. That one was pretty easy to figure out.

“Deep down though, I do feel guilty. The guilt comes from realizing the fact that we are the voyeurs passing judgement, objectifying these people that we have marked as Other. Elitism. It also comes from the recognition of pure, primal, playground cruelty. In practice, it does feel good to not be the object of ridicule. For once. I have to say. So that’s why the bullies get such a kick out of doing the things that they do? I get it now… I think…”

That is PERFECTION. I have often tried to put it into words…….thank you for explaining my guilt in words and giving me a way to explain it when others gawk.

I love the Parents tumblr, I subscribe to it. In fact, fyi, I sumitted my favorite picture of my mom. Keep an eye out. She's sitting in the grass drinking coffee and smoking a cigarette. I submitted it like 10 days ago, I don't know if they are behind or if I was just ignored. .-= Robin´s last blog ..What Gwen Is In Store For =-.
