LOVE

"There's something ironic about thinking someone is a terrible person, and then spending all your time talking shit about them."

Sometimes Tyler Oakley knows what he's talking about. I want to address cyber bullying. I think that people have this idea that it's okay to be mean and hurtful because you're on some social networking website. It's really not. Social networks allow your voice to be heard by many. Even though this is the internet, people are forming their impressions of you from what you say. There is no benefit from hurting or attacking someone online who has done nothing to you. Just because you say it over the internet doesn't mean it isn't still hurtful. When you talk like this to people, remember that you're talking to an actual person that you don't even really know. People have feelings and just because you aren't face to face, doesn't mean your words have no impact on them. Words can hurt.

To victims,
People just can't see what a precious and beautiful person they're hurting. They just can't see how special you are. You don't deserve the hate. You're much better than that. You are enough. You are strong. Fuck the haters.
