what if mira's parents were like... "oh our precious darling baby, please never grow up!" sort of parents.... not cruel, but stifling. deciding what she'll do, and then doing it for her. not letting her learn and try and fail and grow into her own, independent self.

of course she would love the religion of change! of course she would believe so passionately in the importance of discovering and reinventing yourself. of course she would have been missing basic life skills when she first came to the house, and enamored with whoever patiently taught them to her. of course she would take every class available, try everything she was denied.

and of course it would feel awful, when she kept failing. she started out at a deficit and has felt two steps behind ever since. and every time she tries a new skill and makes a mistake, she hears her parents say, just let us do it for you. and every time she compares her same-old self to the unique and talented people around her, she wonders if maybe her parents were right about her. maybe she wasn't meant to have her own interests, to make her own choices. maybe she can't learn. maybe she can't grow. maybe she'll be a useless child forever.

it's hard to decide how she feels about her parents. they never hurt her, so why does she feel so hurt when she thinks about them? they loved her, so why doesn't she love them?

and it's hard to admit the faults of the change belief. it saved her from stagnation! and yet, here she is. smothered again. expected not to stay the same, but to become someone else.

why can't she just be who she is?

I’ve been ok! Recovering from burnout has been an incredibly slow process but I’m happy to feel myself finally getting there. Thanks for your kind words and support ❤️

i used to try really hard to like rationalize things online and figure out exactly what people meant and who anons were, but the amount of times people have tried to do that and made up a really elaborate literally evil plot about ME that didnt happen made me be like... yeah im not doing that anymore

[biborispavlikovsky]

not to see patterns in everything but i found a shirt last week that i lost when i moved last fall and when i wore it out last week a barista gave me a free drink in addition to the one i ordered bc he thought i would like it based on my order and was like "now u can compare". today i wore it again today and a few items i ordered ahead at the bakery weren't available so the girl gave me 3 extra pastries for free and was offering more (literally said i could have whatever i wanted she was so sweet) so anyway, the shirt is not blessed but people have been exceptionally kind in the past few weeks and the shirt has witnessed it with me

This review/article sums up everything I feel about TUA S4 so well.

I love making friends through my writing, especially when I make friends who I can yell with about my OCs, but like. I have noticed a real tendency in me over the past few years where if I have a friendship that is largely predicated on me sending them writing, plots, etc. then I feel weird about contacting them when I don't have anything to "give", so to speak.

Like, if I haven't written anything for a while or I don't have any new plots to tell them about, I just... won't contact them. Because I do think there's a part of me that's like "well, they aren't interested in talking to me about our lives or whatever, they're interested in talking about [fanfic/headcanons/origific/etc.]"

Which I guess works okay for a little while as long as I can maintain that level of productivity, but then if I fall out of the fandom or I just have a dry spell in writing, then I just kind of... stop talking to them...

It's a bad habit, I think. :(

I've been trying to make an effort to contact my friends even when I don't have anything to give them lately, but oof!! Hard habit to break.

can’t make vent posts on here anymore cause i keep remembering the one time i did while i was spiraling about being a terrible person and everyone hating me and that i was worried i would ruin all my relationships and i just got comments going “yeah probably! but here’s (unasked for criticism and advice aimed at a literal stranger)��� like yup that happened

[yourlocaldisneyvillain]

i'm overwhelmed by the amount of positive comments i got on my latest fic! my heart goes out to all the survivors of sexual abuse, and i'm glad my fic has helped many of you process your own trauma. <3

I love feeling terrible about things that are objectively my fault ❤️ it is my favorite activity ❤️

[bread--quest]

i think its really funny how ive almost perfectly dodged cultural christian guilt about some things but am so aggressively not immune to others. i was the only person in my college class able to casually say "yeah i think this theory is encouraging women to do erotic or sexual writing". also i do believe every bad thing that happens to me is my fault and i have to perform labors to make up for it

[finalset]

flinching at people when I am literally not in danger is so embarrassing like can my brain resolve that one already

[novantinuum]

me every time i have a single negative thought pattern: ughhhh that's like... such a steven core thing to think, how embarrassing

[strictly-confectional]

being crazy but also really self aware simultaneously really is such An Experience

"man. i'm so tired. i feel like i can't do anything selfship related. is it because my energy's been sapped from family visiting and everyone wanting to do ~summer activities~ nonstop? am i so in my head about "getting ren's story right without stepping over any lines" that i've backed myself into a perfectionist corner? is the world just going to shit so hard that i can't have one (1) minute of escape on this blog before going back to working through the political hellscape we're in? god even trying to make this plushie pattern is killing me even though i want to hold my guy So Badly AUGH."

"actually what if i lived forever and spent all of that time making an army of these fuckers to swim in? what then?"
