We have the same name spelled the same way and I got whiplash seeing someone with my name posting about games that I play, but also being 30. Not every day you get to see a blog from your future self and realize that maybe, just maybe things will turn out ok. I feel so comforted and I hope you have a lovely day. Your high school self is so proud.
what a lovely message omg. i'm so glad i could provide a bit of comfort for you from some time down the road, because in my experience things absolutely WILL turn out okay, especially once you get through all the Mandatory Shittiness of the teens/twenties!! your 30-year-old self is proud of you right back. be gentle with yourself during the Bad Times and just know that So Much Better is genuinely coming your way.
(and keep playing good video games, i've never regretted that part.)
This is for the self shippers whose F/Os have canon/fanon partners and/or part of a popular ship:
I know it can be incredibly hard seeing content of your F/O with someone else, let alone when other people are ride or die for that ship (“they’re married/ canon/soulmates”). I just want to let you know that it’s okay to disagree. It’s alright to look at that and say “no, they’re not”. Your F/O is yours, and no amount of canon evidence, shippers of canon or whatever else means you have to give up your F/O for this so-called “canon partner”. Remember that these are people’s interpretations of characters, and you do NOT have to abide by them, no matter what. The only canon ship with your F/O you should concern yourself with is YOU x your F/O. And if others disagree? Who cares?
Do you ever just get filled with so much love for the people around you, and it almost hurts how much you appreciate everyone in your life, and you don’t know exactly how to say it but you wish you could fix every wrong thing in their lives and make them as happy as they’ve made you
