#but im sending you the biggest hug!!!!!!! 💜

[stormyoceans]

dear monica, how do you fight apathy? i feel like i dont have the strength. that i dont want anything. none of the things that used to entertain me are interesting to me anymore. do you have any advice? what helps you personally overcome this condition?

song of the day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DF3XjEhJ40Y

hello, dear anon!!!

im sorry for the late reply, but as this is a serious topic, i didn’t want to be superficial with my answer, so it took me a while to write everything down ;;;;;;

im also sorry to hear you’re going through this. it often happens to me as well, and i know it’s hard to go about life feeling like you lack the strength, the motivation, or even just the want to do anything, especially when it’s about those very same things that used to make you happy but now seem not to excite you anymore. i think the first thing that’s important to remember is that these moments happen to everyone from time to time, but if they become more and more frequent and it gets harder and harder to come out of them, then they might be the sign of a bigger issue at hands, so my main suggestion is always going to be to seek support from a professional to make sure you’re taking care of your mental health properly

that being said, here’s some maybe obvious maybe oversimplified advices that personally help me deal with apathy:

identifying what triggered it. it may seem silly, but to me it was a lot of help to realize that a lot of the numbness i tend to feel is due to the dissatisfaction with my job. sometimes it drains so much of my energy and charges me with so much negativity that it ends up affecting how i feel about everything else as well. in my case i can’t go through with the obvious solution (quitting), but it does help me to know there is a cause to it and that i can at least try to change my reaction to that particular trigger.

as corny as it sounds, a little bit is better than nothing at all. what apathy looks like to me is lying in bed staring into the void while around me tasks keep piling up and i start feeling overwhelmed by it all. in my case, ‘tasks’ can even be the new episodes of the shows im currently watching. in this case, breaking down these tasks into smaller ones can definitely help (you don’t have to do all the dishes at once, you can even just do one plate), but a lot of small things to do can still feel like too much at times, so my goal is always to do at least ONE thing: as insignificant as it seems (picking up a sock from the floor), as ‘normal’ as it may seem to everyone else (washing yourself), getting up and doing something small is better than doing nothing.

trying something new. routine is both a dear friend and a tricky enemy. sometimes it can make you feel trapped and detached from the world because nothing seems to ever change, so you gotta take change into your own hands, which of course is easier said than done, and this is where the ‘a little bit is better than nothing at all’ can be applied again: take a different street, order food you’ve never tried, watch a movie from a genre that’s usually not your favorite kind, look up one word in a different language and write it down, pick up a colored pencil and draw flowers all over a white paper. is it a big change? no. is it productive? not really. but it’s still something you’ve never done before.

going full comfort. two of the things i love the most in life are watching shows and eating good food, but sometimes even those can’t bring me any joy. i still do those activities, but everything feels dull and boring, and when that happens, i try to ‘recreate’ what made me fall in love with them in the first place by going back to fond memories, so for me, for examples, it means rewatching vice versa while eating pasta aglio olio e peperoncino and drinking a glass of white wine. i might have experience these things a thousand times in the past, but they’re a reminder that at one point i used to FEEL, and that this state of apathy is not gonna be forever.

finding a community to share the joy with. while i do agree that most of the times you have to push yourself to do it scared and do it alone, and that above all you have to do things for yourself and for the joy of doing those activities in themselves, and not because you have to seek validation from others, humans are social creatures. personally, i have no issue being alone and not talking to anyone even for weeks at a time, however i realized that, for example, one of the main reasons i love tv shows and all kind of media is because i enjoy building a dialogue about them with other people, and when i go a lot of time without doing that, i start to feel like i’ve lost interest in watching anything, but actually im just missing that feeling of connecting with someone. so i feel like it’s important to have a small community, either online or irl, where you can actually share and celebrate and be reminded of what you are passionate about.

…….okay i feel like this all sounds like a terrible self help book ;;;;;;;;; it’s also pretty oversimplified, and none of this would work for me if i didn’t also take meds for my depression, which is why as i said earlier it’s always important to talk to a professional, but i’d say that this is more or a less a guideline of what i personally try to follow when things get tough

not sure if any of this can actually be helpful, but im here if you need someone to share both the sadness and the joy with, and above all i hope you can be kind to yourself and that you’re gonna feel better soon!!!!

so i just wanted to say sorry in advance. i turned 18 last Sunday, so this weekend will be a marathon of your stories 🤌

(i think i had been following you for almost three years? but i didn't want to get you in any trouble)

ps. could i get something for my late birthday? *venting time* my Eastern European ass have the biggest daddy issues from my dad, which i got into fights the whole weekend, only for him to end up drunk af (i wish i did too)

anyway, love you so much and sorry for the future spam, i just know im gonna have the time of my life ❣️

Thank you for not enganging in my stuff until you turned 18+ 💜 this is how you do it @ all the minors continuously trying to engange with my stuff which earns them a block on all my blogs 🙄 you leave a MDNI blog alone until you turn 18+, it's not that hard 🙄

ON ANOTHER NOTE HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEHEHE!!! And welcome on my blog hehehe I'm happy that have you here and am looking forward to your reviews ehhrheh 💜

I'm sorry your dad was a dick at your birthday :/ I am sending you a tight virtual hug 💜

[kaleb-is-definitely-sane]

Asks

@princess-paramour you sent me a bunch of asks (and said you were sorry cause it was all of them; i don’t believe you’re sorry btw 😂) but i somehow lost it so here they are

what song makes you feel better? We All Need Jesus by Danny Gokey ft Koryn Hawthorne

what’s your feel-good movie? Enola Holmes

what’s your favorite candle scent? Anything semisweet or semiearthy

what flower would you like to be given? Sweet William. They symbolize love, affection, passion, admiration, finesse, gallantry and heartbreak/lost love.

who do you feel most you around? My family (moms side), friends at church and my moots

say three nice things about yourself (three physical and three non-physical). I’ve heard a lot of girls say they like guys who are tall, dark and handsome. Well I’m a 5’7” African American who has gorgeous parents soo 😊. Nonphysical — I’m socially aware, I’m doing well in my relationship with Jesus and I’m accepting of people who are different from me 💜

what color brings you peace? Turquoise

tag someone (or multiple people) who make you feel good. @princess-paramour, @ell0ra-br3kk3r, @lucyandethel, @slyth3rin-princess, @mad-elia, @innerloverpainter, @illusiono, @steveharringtonlovesme, @hopefulmillennial, @george-weasleys-girl, @thebestieyoureinlovewith, @jahbutterflykisses331, @quickslvxr, @diorgirl444

what calms you down? Breathing

what’s something you’re excited for? Ima maybe see my aunt during Easter break ♥️

what’s your ideal date? Eating out, walking together, laughing together

how are you? I’m alive and blessed so I suppose i can’t complain

what’s your comfort food? Ice Cream Cake 🎂

favorite feel-good show? Family Reunion on Netflix

for every emoji you get, tag someone and describe them in one word. @princess-paramour you gotta give me some emojis first 😂

compliment the person who sent you this number. Kate you are absolutely marvelous. You’re kind, chill, funny, hot cute, flirty — everyone who knows you is blessed. Whether they know it or not

fairy lights or LED lights? Fairy Lights are just so much more magical

do you still love stuffed animals? Absolutely (i’ll send you a picture of Zsofia if you want)

most important thing in your life? Jesus, my friends/mutuals and my family.

what do you want most in the world right now? World Peace ✌🏿

if you could tell your past self one thing, what would it be?

what would you say to your future self? We can stay forever young.

favorite piece of clothing? Hoodies!! I know it’s a stereotype that boys love hoodies (and girls love to steal them) but i absolutely love my hoodies 🥰

what’s something you do to de-stress? Get on Tumblr, talk to you, pray, read et cetera

what’s the best personal gift someone could give you (playlist, homemade card, etc.)

what movie would you want to live in? Enola Holmes

which character would you want to be? Tewkesbury ♥️. Like him I’m a lover rather than a fighter but I can still get tough if i — or even worse someone i love — am threatened

hugs or hand-holding? I heard on a survey that one thing girls wished their boyfriends/husbands would do more is hold their hand. I, however, am horrified to do so. I want to but i get scared out of my mind. Irl my like biggest fear in relationships is being to forward (which is absurd honestly cause i feel like everyone on the planet if more forward than me). But hugging is something i always have felt comfortable do. My… “ex” (in quotes cause technically we didn’t date and she technically she had a boyfriend but like… 🤷🏾) actually said she was obsessed and in love with my hugs so… ♥️

morning, afternoon or night? Afternoon for sure (only time im not sleepy)

what reminds you of home (doesn’t have to mean house… just things that remind you of the feeling of home)? Pictures of autumn; sweaters; deer; creeks; books

[therhythmafterthesummer]

Hellooo~ I think I’m about to ramble a whole bunch so i hope this entertains you despite the heat of the earth right now.

I had been the type of reader who forgets the titles and authors’ names since I liked being a silent fan but have also wanted to avoid attachment to certain fics. This was probably because I personally don’t have a lot of free time but also because I had experienced fics that went on a forever hiatus. (I still loved the authors and totally respect their decisions tho.) That tmi backstory leads me to what I wanted to tell you:

I had loved your wereroomies installments but didn’t know that it was you nor were they part of the same universe. Basically, I loved your stories before knowing you, if that makes sense. BUT, the major force that actually made me want to see your other works was Five-Point Star. I literally wanted to scream at you (in a good way) so I worked up the courage to message but never did SLDJKSJDJE LMAO. (Now wereroomies took me on a chokehold so that’s how I ended up sending an actual message 🥹😭)

SO, the reason that I’m writing now is to tell you that I finally re-read Five-Point Star and 😩😩😩😩 here’s my thoughts about it cuz it still makes me Feel Everything the same way when I first read it.

FIRST OFF, of course you made another Chris to love 🥹. I felt how the MC’s job made her so distant to people and connections so having someone like Chris that could make her feel warm, make her laugh, and crave normality was sooo lovely.

I love how you wrote the whole thing. Like, I did kinda see how it would go but the whole build up and how it actually went was *chef’s kiss*. I really like this kind of trope but I’m also a sucker for that ending 😭. Thanks for breaking me, jk.

LASTLY, my brain worm went haywire with the ending so it started writing it’s own part 2 despite it being a one-shot 🥹. idk what to do with it so imma share it with you and release it from my head. LIKEEE, imagine some time has passed and MC moved to a different location and slowly tried to lessen her load of assassin work. She never really finished her last mission and retracted her contract to kidnap Seungmin. Trying to move on from the biggest heartbreak, she tries out to have a normal life in a different city to forget all of her what if’s. That is, until she gets kidnapped. (The irony.)

She wakes up in a room with a few armed men guarding her, and Seungmin or someone from Five-Point Stars telling her that they want to hire her. They want to get revenge or silence whoever tried to threaten the Kims using her, and the only one who has any information on who wanted Seungmin was her so they tracked her down. Of course, the leader of the whole Five-Point Star squad would be our beloved Chris 🥹. She can’t refuse because they have all of her information and can definitely use her previous assassin history against her. ALSBKAJDJSBDJDND I’ll stop there 😭 my brain worm is doing a funk istg i didn’t mean to ramble this long but oh well.

If you read this far, I love u, and here’s a hug 🤍. Ahck hope u and Raven are still intact and hydrated. AKHSJSHS This is my first time leaving this long of a message so im so sorry if its cringe and mushy 🥹 i really love ur works,,, you’re a great writer.

~🍓

pls this message is cute. you're cute. i'm glad you liked my stories enough that you felt like you needed to reach out. i love having you here💜

i'm all here for some Five-Point Star love 😩 i love love love that story. i felt like i was possessed the entire time i was writing it (i suppose many of us felt that way after watching that 5-STAR trailer and seeing Christopher in that outfit 😵).

i've been thinking about that story a lot these days, and i love love love your take on what could've happened after it.

what you're describing is similar to one of the scenarios i had in mind for a part 2.... i actually have so many different ideas for a part 2 sdjhfsjkdf. BUT, i think i have finally decided on the main ones i liked out of all the ones that came to my head, and i can say that i AM working on a part 2 👀 (i'm already over 6k in and it's nowhere near finished....). even though it isn't quite like what you're describing, i hope you'll like it once it's done and published💜

(mind you, FPS is a story that imo can definitely stand on its own without a part 2.... but you know how it is by now, my brain just does whatever it wants, and it wants to have a part 2 because it couldn't handle the ending KJDSHFKSJDF).

i love you, too, bb. here's a hug as well🤗. Raven and i are managing haha it's a bit cooler today, so hopefully temperatures start going down 😭

thank you for sending this lovely message! i hope you have an amazing day/night💜💜

[druidgroves]

[stormyoceans]

Well, we have a chance to keep Tawinan-actor. Even if he goes to study, he can act in supporting roles, he will not have a permanent partner, which means he will be able to kiss all women and men. * tries to be optimistic, but fails* I am so shocked by this news. In an interview, Jimmy said that something would happen by the end of the year. Maybe that's what he meant. This year has been difficult for me, I admit, since I came to stan the actors, and both of the boys' acting jobs were, to put it mildly, not exactly what I expected from them. Is Jimmy having a crisis for 30 years or what? Now he has such a chance to develop his acting potential, but he chooses to study. I'm sad to say this, but the age of an actor is short, but maybe Jimmy rethought and realized that he didn't need it, and he would return to his blog on YouTube, like bimbeam, who also decided to retire from acting and will also keep her blog. Okay, the whole letter looks very offended, and it probably is. As for people, I'm happy for the boys, but, to be honest, their personal life apart from movies is not interesting to me. I guess I just have to watch two they TV shows from time to time and just move on and try not stan anyone else.

for what is worth, i really do understand how you feel, anon. they dropped this news on us completely out of the blue, and personally im very sad at the possibility of no longer having actors jimmysea on our screens for who knows how long

im sure that if jimmy has indeed made the choice to go study abroad then he must have had his reasons that he will eventually share with us when the time comes, but knowing them isn't necessarily gonna make us feel any better

i think it would have been different if i liked last twilight, or if i cared about the dentist show, or if i were certain we would still get sea acting by himself in other projects while jimmy is studying abroad (like if they gave me that series about the dating life of a queer man with sea as the main lead????? LOVE YOU JIMMY HAVE FUN YOUR BOY WILL BE IN GOOD HANDS WHILE YOU'RE AWAY), but i feel how i feel about those shows, and after what we got this year i have no confidence in GMMTV actually giving sea decent roles or even just something to do at all, so. yeah

and the thing is. ultimately im a grown ass woman. there's no parasocial relationship strong enough to bring me down, so im still gonna be here watching shows and stuff because well. where else am i supposed to go, this is my psych ward. however, im gonna miss jimmysea and the particular brand of comfort only the two of them were able to give me, and i already know that without them im also gonna lose a lot of people on here, so it will be hard, im not just gonna pretend it won't be

for now we're still here together tho, and until we won't get an official announcement im gonna hold everyone's hand and clown one last time

[wolfchans]

✨️🎉🎊I hope im not late, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!🎊🎉✨️ I hope your day was amazing and that this year and every year after treats you well. You deserve the very best!!

[1d1195]

THE TULIPS EXTRA😭 i absolutely LOVED IT!!

Yes of course it was so heartbreaking to the MC spread herself so thin that it causes a strain in her relationship and her overall wellbeing! And once again a little to accurate lol but honestly I loved how Harry approached talking to her even if they did have a little disagreement! It was so sweet to see how he got her to open up bc it’s definitely not easy to change conditioned habits especially if the MC/ person feels like their very existence is an inconvenience!(calling myself out lol) I was so happy to see her taking those steps of changing and working on it! And the remote situation was just so perfect see show her progress!

ANS THAT FACT THAT THEY ARE NOW ENGAGED😭 LIKE?!?!? IM SO HAPPY FOR THEM😭 and the fact that Harry sent an entire album to her MOM to prove about the flowers 😭 THEY ARE JUST SO MADE FOR EAXH OTHER😭

It was such a beautiful read Sam! Loved it!! And thank you for writing this! Hope your week has started off on a good note or at least not horrible! I love you and I’m sending you the biggest hug!!-💜

I’m so glad you liked it 😭💕 I think it’s pretty telling that we’re twins at this point. Just separated at birth and also not the same age. I don’t think I’m like a waste of space or anything but I never feel the way I make my MCs feel around others. I think I would combust if someone told me they wanted to know my every thought like Harry did 😭

I just gotta make it to Sunday. Such a busy week 😅 I’m thinking my arch nemeses will forever be 14 year olds. So Monday could have been better. There is simply not enough time in the day to relax/do what I want to do. I need an extra three hours a day 😭

Thanks for reading and your message as always. Warms my heart 💕

Xoxo
