[not sure why we got stared at so much today compared to every other day. people reacted to us like we weren't even humans or anything. they full on stared us down, even when we looked back at them. there wasn't any shame or embarrassment over the fact that they were caught staring at us. it kind of weirded me out to be honest. note to self: don't stare at people who look different than you. no matter your mindset, it makes them feel ostracized and self-conscious. like they have grown a large lump on their nose or something]

anyways, pictures aren't loading. i might try to post them later.
