I bought a Juul today
It has rhinestones on it
That part was important
I can hold it when I'm with my friends and no one can judge me
Running my fingers over the rhinestones makes me feel calm
Funny thing is I haven't actually USED it once
At least not how everyone else does
I guess I'm calmer
I'm more comfortable but my lungs are still perfect
I only bought it because
it was the only socially acceptable thing to hold
People think I'm cool for some reason
I don't.I think I'm just the same
It's just an object.
Everything's just an object.
So why do we laud the people who "need" one
And shun people who "need" another
Why is one considered so much better than the other?
Because it's more dangerous?
Why do people like danger so much?
And hate safe things so much?
And what is so hard about just accepting one another?
So one day someone like me won't feel like she has to buy
A rhinestone encrusted Juul
To be treated like a person by the people around her
