But the comments are fucking wild, man. Like, did these commentators even listen to any of Green Day’s work?

“i don’t understand this, could you try to explain further/explain it in more simple terms?”
“hey tumblr, is x okay for me to do according to this tradition, or would it be inappropriate?”
“even though i learned x originally, i see what you’re saying about how it’s problematic, and i’ll try to change accordingly.”

to anyone enduring a depressive episode: it’s ok. you’re not being lazy or selfish. your productivity doesn’t define or devalue you. you’re coping. you’re doing the best you can, and that’s ok!
