“God won’t give you more…”
(for someone who needs to hear this again)
There are a lot of unhelpful statements about God.
“God won’t give you more than you can handle.” That one has to be in the top 10.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard it. Or how many people I’ve heard it from.
It’s people who are trying to help. Said with the best of intentions. Usually at the worst of times.
It seems reassuring at first.
Let it sit for a minute, and you start to see what’s wrong with it.
It’s got things backwards. About how we work as human beings. Life isn’t about us handling it.
We were never meant to handle things on our own. That’s not how we’re built.
And that’s not who God is. God is not the god of abandonment, of leaving us to handle things on our own.
One thing God will never say to you? “Not my circus, not my monkeys.”
We have to push God away, we have to work at it, if that’s what we want from God.
God is willing, God is waiting, God is wanting to help us.
God will be with us in every part of our lives. God will support us and strengthen us, no matter what we’re going through.
All we have to do is ask.
If you and I want to fix that line, maybe it should read something like this,
“God won’t give you more than He can handle.”

Now I find out that nothing is given;
Don’t know where the cards may fall.
All I know is that we’ve gotta get it;
We’ve gotta make it on our own.

I love (sarcastic) how one of our common archetypes for system members is short gay guy with an androgynous shoulder length hair.
#it's always the exact same fucking haircut#it's slightly infuriating because we should each be distinct#on our own#but there's like ten of us#or more#so we aren't

sometimes i forget why i just eventually gave up just 2 months before the end of my 4th year as co-president of my high school's GSA but then i dip my toe into online discourse and remember, oh right, people brought the dumbass infighting and slur discourse to the irl queer space and none of them actually even cared about doing the real work.
we went from creating real positive change for queer students all over the district as well as in our community to almost nothing.
#i had a mental breakdown and had to leave and still somehow my co-prez and staff supervisor and i got a pride week planned#on our own#venting#like i still get so frustrated about this#it went from a positive space which did a lot of good to just another trigger for my breakdown#and like i'm not a pushover when im in a leadership roll like that i'm very aware of my duty and responsibility#i got shit done when i was on the verge of death (not a joke and not related to my breakdown-my irls from 2015 will remember)#personcole

Another AO3 thing I’m curious about, how do yall decide if something is good enough to read? Usually I follow a rule of 1 kudos for every 10 hits. One because it’s easy math and two it’s yet to fail me. Thoughts? Do you just go for it and pray it’s good?
