God, Gift Me Scissors

I want to cut off my ears hearing how low people speak about others. I genuinely can't stand being surrounded by people who can casually talk down on people. Unfortunately, I don't have a choice but to sit and listen since I'm constantly surrounded by it. (school/social gatherings). It's so uncomfortable. Maybe I'm being sensitive, but the things I hear people say are so hurtful. 

I overheard so much shit today from these groups of girls, and other people drained my own energy seeing how insensitive people can get. The fucked up things people say, I just can't believe how casually people rip apart other people, like they aren't human. I can't help but picture myself in the same situation (in which we've ALL been there, when someone talked shit of us) and imagine what people would say about me, or what people have said about me before. 

It hurts even more hearing it come from someone you thought was better than that. 

I can't help but pity people. 

This is just a little rant because I hate how hypocritical people can get with this shit. ESPECIALLY WITH RELIGION & RELIGIOUS PEOPLE. (Christian rant!!) Like, did we not read the same bible? Share the same God? Hear the same sermons about grace and love? Of course it doesn't apply to all Christians, but you simply cannot give yourself that title, wearing it as a badge while walking with hate in your heart and judgment on your tongue.

 Christianity—believing in God— isn't something you throw around when it's convenient for you. It's supposed to be lived through your own words, actions, and how you treat ALL people. Not just your friends, or people who think/act like you. You can't claim Christ but laugh at people who struggle. You can't claim Christ and have room for hate for people who may be seen as different, whether thats someone who is poor, mentally ill, an immigrant, neurodivergent, gay, transgender, etc. Jesus didn't only walk with the ones who had it all together. He sat with the outcasts, the misunderstood, the hurt, and the judged. He himself was an immigrant. 

If you follow Christ, but your love stops are your own comfort zone and the sake of your environment and people you surround yourself with, I'm sorry, but you've missed the whole point.

Reminder that faith isn't superiority. It's about humility, grace, and compassion. If you believe in God but can't hold space for the humanity in everyone, you are not following Christ, you're going against him. If anything, religion should humble you in the best way possible, making your heart open. I hope everyone I overheard eventually finds peace in their hearts. ♡
