  • Marquis de Lafayette

    Fought in American revolution, key figure in French.

    Born into aristocracy them said fuck that let’s go see what liberty is about. Tried his best even through events spun out of control. Always stuck up for the people despite his position.

    Abolitionist. Tried to get Washington to free slaves as example, left Lafayette on read.

    “If I had known that by fighting for America I was creating a nation of slaves, I would have never raised my sword.” - butchered to a certain degree but sentiment remains.

    Guy was pretty neat, found himself in some of the most important events I’m history and stuck to his ideals his whole life. Admirable.

    I stopped hanging out with the group of friends shared no interests with. They’re mostly pleasant but can only do something I actively dislike so much.

    The work home hermit life suits me just fine. Don’t feel obligated by the friendships or get put in position of feeling guilt to be somewhere don’t wanna be.
