i would like to add to this old thread that there's nothing wrong with having some people focus on ideas and bigger picture side of things if that's what they're good at. thankfully, humans have diverse talents and perspectives to cover everything. i'm ok with being an *idealist* https://twitter.com/jesusislesbian/status/1203302931489083392

in my re-exploration of this thread i also see how it could be interpreted that i'm over these issues. not really, they still affect me and it's a daily struggle to not let my own prejudice and past trauma cloud my vision of reality. i just try to stay mindful as much as possible
