i was raised a liberal and even voted for clinton. in a weird way i think i was taught to hate conservatives.

it was very indirect and my parents aren't hateful people at all, but theres just something about being a liberal that gives you this pride of being better than others

i dont post this to attack anyone, just is kinda sobering, shameful and even scary thinking to myself about how justified i felt in feeling "better" than others.

as a conservative i found compassion for my friends on the other side, as a liberal i had none

im much happier, more at peace, more forgiving, much more accepting and overall just a much better person than i've ever been

the worst part is that i don't feel i can really share this with friends, as then they'll just express those same feelings i worked so hard to get rid of

ct is great cuz we're all different and can share this shit with eachother.

we have so much in common with eachother that no matter what differences, beefs or drama goes on...one green candle and its all history.
