Yep . I flew back from Asia a year ago and jet lag absolutely destroyed my boyfriend and I . It took almost two weeks to feel 100 % normal . <| sep |> I know the whole Romeo cliche but this just spins my mind . It ' s not romantic ! It ' s damn well terrifying . This is a man who is invading someone ' s home because he knows he ' ll be turned away otherwise . Such a violation of boundaries and sense of personal safety . He doesn ' t care about her wants and doesn ' t respect her right to say no . Blergh ! <| sep |> This is why I ' m happy the idea that representative democracy as absurd is actually gaining some traction after this election by and large , we do want the same things . Some disagreements on how we get there , for sure , but the issues that divide tend to be much more minor than they ' re often portrayed to be . Even hot button issues gay marriage , abortion , gun rights have high levels of agreement to a certain extent most people are okay with gay marriage in a legal sense , overwhelmingly people are okay with abortion at least to a point , and overwhelmingly people agree there ought to be some forms of gun control and what ' s in place should be better enforced . But there ' s this narrative out there that we don ' t . Sad , we ' re a people united , governed by people who benefit in trying to divide us .
