Do you not think she is beautiful? Is it a sin to think so? She will grow up, you know. Or do you only value the sexual nature of women? Do you only care about lust? Is that why you’re so offended? Because you project your lustful tendencies upon everyone else and pretend that I am lusting after that precious creature?

When I was around 10 or 11 I read a historic novel about a peasant uprising agains feudal lords (it's considered one of the classics of my country) and then gave a presentation about it in school (we had to).
Everyone picked harry potter or some other kiddie bullshit. As I remember this was the beginning of my descend into autism and ostracization. But at least I was well read.

I grew up reading the wheel of time, started the first book in 3rd grade. It had a huge effect on me and it's why I started getting into writing in middle school. I picked it over others at the store because it was big.

Who else was like me and thought all the goosebumps and other trash other kids were reading were silly? I wasn't trying to be better; I just couldn't stand that shit. Instead I forced myself to read books I couldn't understand because at least I felt like they weren't speaking to me like I'm retarded.

I read Cat's Cradle when I was 13 before that the most advanced book I was reading was Harry Potter. Honestly glad I got into reading by that point cause they helped me get through so many boring classes and teachers couldn't give me shit for it like having phone or a portable console out during a lesson.

Notice how she used no makeup when she was 11, and yet she looked more vibrant and youthful than in her later years. It is no wonder why women want to keep the AoC higher. But that isn’t the real issue, here. Girls are raised to be like men, to go to school together, graduate together, and even get similar jobs. Even if you wanted to marry a young teen, which in some places may be legal, you would be shunned, and how could such a thing even go forward smoothly? The girl has no concerns of being a wife or mother, but of being a CEO! Capitalism and feminism have slowly corrupted the rightful place of women in society, and we will continue to reap the consequences of degeneracy that are so common nowadays. But talk about this, and you’re labeled a pedophile, as if your mind is so concentrated on lust as the average modern person. They seem to think that it is normal for lust to precede love, and that premarital sex is fine, and that it’s ok for women to be at work all the time. I don’t know what can save us from this mess.

when I was 12 I watched evangelion for the first time and I unironically thought it was the smartest show in existence so I became obsessed with it, I watched it like 100 times, I honestly had no idea what the show was about. one day when I was 13 (or maybe about to turn 13) I decided to read the bible that we had at home because I thought it would help me understand the show better. ended up reading the bible 3 times.
