I may be white but I am still a bi woman. I am not less than human because I have bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety and a high functioning sociopath. In fact, I am more human than most because the beast inside me doesn't control me anymore. When I embrace my wild side I am more me than ever. Primal instincts aren't bad emotions, that's bottled up rage and aggression which society doesn't accept as societal norms. Rage isn't throwing things and breaking people's prized possessions, that's abuse. Rage is shaking in anger, yelling at people for doing stuff wrong, confronting someone over the smallest things and having guilt for being angry at all. Aggression isn't beating someone into submission, telling someone they are worthless repeatedly, begging someone to do something stupid and pleading for attention, that's emotional abuse. Aggression is channeling your frustrations into heated sentences for someone who don't deserve it, losing it over a parent that won't go to band concerts, wanting to scream over someone who won't validate your existence and causing a situation from nothing. Privilege is nothing more than existing with an easy life.
