friendly reminder that grown ass humans can easily be brought to our knees by parental units.

queercapwriting:

It does not make us weak.

It does not make us whiny.

We are not making it up just to instigate fights.

We are not making something out of nothing.

We are allowed to be hurt.

We are allowed to express our hurt.

We are not selfish because we are ourselves.

We are not inconsiderate because we assert our wants and needs.

We are real.

Our feelings are real.

Our pain is real.

We deserve to be recognized.

We deserve to be heard.

And, in case you were wondering, certified Badass, Brave, Powerful humans Alex Danvers, Maggie Sawyer, Lena Luthor, and Kara Zor-El Danvers all approve this message.
