you're valid. you're so valid. everyone is valid! unless you're criticizing something you don't like. you're not allowed to do that. positivity ONLY. world-weary cynicism isn't very wholesome and cozy. complex feelings aren't valid, blind optimism and saccharine smiles are. you want to be valid, don't you?

doomposting/doomscrolling is also a trap but it turns out there's only so much forced positivity I can take before I beat a friendly "drink some water and take your meds uwu!" bot to death with a crowbar
exactly!! not to sound like a centrist rn but too far in either direction is equally bad
"wholesome" especially sets my teeth on edge. a catholic schoolteacher ass word
The places I see it these days are so, so out of place from where I first ran into them. And too often substituting stronger calls to action or discussions or conversations, which distresses me. The connections we build between us are not and will never be valid and wholesome.
Get it twisted. The validity of your emotions should be an implied idea. Your feelings matter to no one but yourself. You will carry these feelings with you to the grave unless you form a support system of mature individuals who can understand and adapt to the complexity of human emotions and experiences.
