To the boy reading this crying out "not all boys!": If you are standing by or encouraging these boys, You are part of the problem. I don't care if you've never left someone on "read at 8:17pm" in your life Or if you've never manipulated someone just to get what you want. If you're slapping your buddy on the back for "getting some bitch wrapped around your finger! Way to go, bro!" Or if your friend tells you "this crazy, annoying bitch keeps bugging me, I'm just gonna ignore her." and you just nod, You are part of the problem. If you are reading this and your first thought is about how this affects you, you are part of the problem. I never said, "all boys". You self-inserted. Shouldn't that tell you something? To myself: I'm sorry I let myself focus all my time and energy on those who didn't deserve it. I'm sorry I was blinded by the ego boosts and nostalgia. I am better than that. I am better than them. I do not have the world's greatest self-esteem, but that's okay. I'm working on it. I deserve people who will nourish my growth, not hinder it. I deserve respect. I deserve understanding. And I'm sorry I didn't realize that sooner.
