Bottling up your emotions = bad
Healthy expression of emotions = good
Those around you who can’t see that = not worth your time, fam
…And thank you for the kind words <3
I can hear the HR corpo-speak from here: *something something* inappropriate time & place *something something* unproductive use of company time. Capitalism was a mistake.
Not like your story! Concise but clear, well written!
To be fair to HR, you are reading HFY during work hours, which probably isn't your job, and looked down on in any economic system that has jobs (capitalism, communism, feudalism, etc). Unless you're on your lunch break or something.
Guidance unclear, am IT. The absolute fuck am I supposed to do when the things thing enough to thing and my only other option is to stare at the wall of my 4 foot by 4 foot broom closet of an office space shared with two other people.
Fix thing that is thinging just enough to thing therefore inevitable causing thing to cease thinging while your thing inside your skull goes through a list of vulgarities that somehow make the process of making the thing do the things again more productive and perhaps even utilizing another thing to perform percussive maintenance on thing until thing things and your thing contained inside your skull releases the happy things as a result of the cathartic act of using thing to strike thing until all the things have in fact thinged.
Man I forgot entirely what my comment was and this was a mind fuck to read. TLDR I am a sys ad with out a single admin right on anything but email. It's been a fun 3 years.
capitalism is not the problem, the problem are politics and the finance industrie that created the meaningless jobs.
&and middle management mostly middlemanager
It is somewhat amusing that people disliked your comment considering what goes into actually running a business.
The licensing, the permits, the setup costs, managing the schedules and paychecks, managing liability, handling the maze that is healthcare for employees, attempting to setup the system for 401k's, trying to weigh cost vs profit, the fact that if it falls flat the original founders will potentially lose their homes as a result of bankruptcy, marketing, and more all go into running a business.
Middle management sucks, some corporations could absolutely be more lenient given the amount of profit they flip, and politicians have and will always continue to screw each and every last one of us. how many billions of our hard earned money has been sent over seas? how many billions have been wasted on pointless projects to stroke someone else's ego? One of the EASIEST ways to improve the quality of life for almost every American would be the reduction of taxes.
When you get taxed for making money, having money, spending money, purchasing fuel to get to the place where you will be taxed for earning money in a car that you were taxed for purchasing and are continually taxed for owning sitting in the driveway a home that you were HEAVILY taxed for purchasing, taxed for owning, taxed for maintaining, all so that you can survive long enough to go back to work, get taxed AGAIN for making money, taxed for spending the money on food.etc so on and so forth... Reduce taxes by 10% and the positive change in the average quality of life will be more than substantial.
Now I wanna see humanity go to war on their new friends behalf, so they don’t have to suffer again, and then they could see why humans are labeled as deathworlders too, and why they weren’t afraid to enter their homeworld

Technically those are six words.
Still, thank you for the feels. Your emotions are valid, don't bottle them up. Feel them, talk about them and try to give them a place in your life.
Beyond amazing, wordsmith. You managed to say a lot by only writing a bit, what's strictly necessary to get the point across. Kudos. That is an art in and off itself.
Wow... didn't realize I'd actually feel this bad for a fictional alien character. We often don't realize how good we have it... we also don't often realize how bad we have it. Thanks for the reminder.
I had those spoken to me and it changed my life!
If you can say “It’s ok. You’re safe.” once in your to someone and turned them around then well done....

Yeah, I mean that’s generally true. Though I meant more the crying at work part, not the reading HFY lol.

No capitalism is pretty exclusively the problem. Worker owned and operated cooperatives are the future
Most workers don't have the education to operate a business of any scale. If they did, they wouldn't be at the bottom of the ladder.

I thought it was gonna be “it’s not your fault”
I didn’t want to steal Maguire’s line; dude’s had enough of that already
I thought "it'll be okay"
That was incredible! Thats some *golden* writting if i have Seen some
I never comment on stories, but I just have to leave a comment on this one: this was both amazing _and_ original.
This. I really like this. Never underestimate the power of a good hug.
Now I wanna see humanity go to war on their new friends behalf, so they don’t have to suffer again, and then they could see why humans are labeled as deathworlders too, and why they weren’t afraid to enter their homeworld
I was waiting for that. I mean come one. Our species split the atom, just so we could attack each other with it!

I, for one, welcome our onion ninja overlords.

I'm crying in the middle of a restaurant right now excellent work my friend
I wasn’t expecting anyone to even *see* this almost a month down the road; I’m glad you enjoyed it :)
The internet is forever. Four months; still tears.
So good. I actually teared up at the last line!
I had those spoken to me and it changed my life! If you can say “It’s ok. You’re safe.” once in your to someone and turned them around then well done....

God damn it! Onion Ninjas strike again! Good job wordsmith.
Legit tears. Omg very well written.

Wow, very well written and evocative.
Glad to see this story getting the love it deserves!
Commenting to save Also wordsmith, Thanks
Annnd I'm crying
Its true though, you can only heal of some aspect of trauma only after you see any other context than what you’ve known and gain perspective.

That was wonderful. <3 A real deathworlder given a hug... I can't imagine. PTSD up to fucking eleven.
