It isn't fair for me to be charged a "penalty" by my college because I have fallen into worse poverty and cannot even afford a daily allowance for college or for petrol. I needed them to extend my semester, but they insisted on a penalty of RM400. I believe I must pay this when I re-enter college in July. However, I have decided not to pay it immediately, but rather to have a conversation with the staff first to discuss the matters behind the penalties that justify them being charged to me, and why I am being penalized due to my hardship (poverty) and need for a hiatus. #StudentDebt #PovertyIsNotACrime #EducationForAll #KrisisKewanganPelajar #MahasiswaMalaysia #KenaikanYuran #AcademicExploitation #FightTheFee #EducationApartheid #WaiveTheFee #StopStudentPenalties #SolidarityNotFines #CostOfLivingCrisis #YouthInDebt #BrokenEducationSystem #MalaysiaBoleh #ReformasiPendidikan #Malaysia #MSU #MSUCollege #Education #Vent #Hardships

Guess who is exploiting and taking advantage of my vulnerability and trust? My uncle. He can use any of my mistakes that he finds to justify bullying and mocking me. I don't even have money to pay for his liquid petroleum gas for cooking. I am really sad, and no one cares. I am still a student with so many debts that I can't pay. It's around RM50,000. What does he expect? Taking advantage of me? Using my inability to pay his bills and for LPG, and when I'm at my worst, it's time for him to kick me out of his house. I am actually homeless. But that terribly destroyed house doesn't count. My father wanted me to stay at my uncle's house for stable electricity. #FamilyIssues #Struggle #Support #Homeless #StudentLife #Debt #EmotionalAbuse #Bullying #Vulnerability #Trust #Hope #Vent #MentalHealth #IAmTheProduct #MutualAid #NoOneCares

Today I learned that I'm a bigot for saying magic isnt real or a valid form of resistance.

This is why i hate "spirituality" as much as religion. It legitimizes nonsense and irrationality, enabling delusions and bad decisions, and causing pointless arguements.

My past relationship is proof that I am not capable of love and relationships. I am single, and no woman chooses me, which is evidence that I am not lovable. I am going to seek benefits from my depression and anxiety, and I know that fake positivity doesn't always solve this problem. It has been proven since August 2020 that fake positivity will not always work in the long term. By continuously being vulnerable, I believe this is the key for me to become my better self. #RealDepression #NoToxicPositivity #MentalHealthTruth #SingleNotBroken #VulnerabilityWins #HealingIsMessy #AntiSelfHelp #MentalHealth #Vent

Today a kid (1yo) at the Nursery I work at was having a very bad meltdown (he was hitting him self with his hands, and also his head against the wall) he tried to hit one of the girls for taking a toy he wanted(he barely touched her). What this japanese teacher did was to slap him so hard his head hit the wall.... not only that but they told me multiple times to ignore this other new baby that was crying his eyes out half of my 4h shift. Because just letting a baby crying on a coner by himself did wonders for older generations 🫠 ... feel like quiting but I can't, has been very hard to find a job with tattoos.... ugh...I hate this place.

And fuck all Japan hardcore lovers, that never stop saying how perfect this place is....

It's okay to feel empty. It's okay to feel like I'm missing out on everything that other people have that I don't. It's okay to feel depressed or bored because other people's lives seem better than mine. It's okay to feel powerless in the face of others' expectations and to feel upset and heartbroken that I can't achieve happiness like they do. #Vent #MentalHealth #MentalHealthMatters #YouAreNotAlone #ItsOkayToStruggle #SelfCompassion #EmotionalHealing #BeKindToYourself

I think, for me, true friends are not about the ability to vibe and get along together, nor about giving up my identity and characteristics solely for the sake of harmony with friends. No. For me, true friends are about respecting each other’s individuality and independence, and having healthy attachment styles toward each other. In this way, we can be ourselves and be happy in friendships and life. #mentalhealth #friendship #philosophy #lifelessons #vent #independence #malaysia
