#i was STRESSED reading these books i tell you

[scarynewboyfriend]

just ignore those kinds of people, or if they are your friend tell them not to say stuff like that. it’s not good for anyone.

people try to justify or prove their pain, while attempting to convince themselves that what they are experiencing is normal/correct by saying that a source of joy is also a symptom - typically one that many people share.

it’s easy to build a community of people who are hurting and want an easy answer or justification for that pain, because it doesn’t involve anything more than saying “oh yes, x thing happened to me and that’s why i spend all day reading.”

it’s a pity contest mixed with denial - that a seemingly harmless interest is all you get for whatever psychologically ails you. the belief that YOU couldn’t be your own roadblock to wellness and recovery, because everyone else is doing it too so that’s just fine.

yeah, maybe you did read a lot as a kid because it was all you had between screaming parents and unpaid electric bills. hobbies are a task of pleasure, regardless how they are discovered.

if it’s a problem (ex. any time your are stressed you turn to a book instead of addressing the problem, or if your reading causes you to ignore other parts of life) then you need to seek professional help.

not all people who read. YOU.

And there’s nothing wrong with that.

My point is, chronic pathologizing is an emotionally immature response that is only going to become a barrier to helping people accept that they as an individual have a problem.

We have GOT to stop pathologizing the joy out of life.

Saw someone claim that if you read a lot as a child, you were disassociating. No, you were reading. Because reading is fun.

"I have a problem with maladaptive daydreaming." It's only maladaptive if it negatively impacts your ability to function in the real world. Laughing at a joke you made in your head isn't doing that.

"You seem to do a lot if creative projects. What are you escaping?" I'm escaping this conversation.

Like what is the end goal? Because so far, all this has done has made it harder to enjoy my hobbies because you're turning a mindless process into something I gotta think about.

Breakfast ~ Love That Burns

LOVE THAT BURNS MASTERLIST / EVERYDAY MOMENTS MASTERLIST

Word Count: 640ish

Summary: Logan wants to show you how much he appreciates you.

Reminder: I DO NOT do taglists. Please don’t ask. Please follow and interact! I appreciate any reblogs, likes, comments, and asks! 

Logan still wasn’t used to this. The quiet, peaceful mornings that happened when he woke up and you were still in arms. You were still asleep, lips parted slightly, a stress-free face, and your warmth radiating off of you. A small part of Logan believed you would disappear one day because you would figure out that you were too good for him, but you never did. Logan was always thankful that you continually stuck with him. He needed to show you that he appreciated it.

Logan’s face nuzzled into your head. He inhaled deeply, enjoying your scent, before kissing your head and pulling away. You let out a moan, your body following his.

“Logan?” You rasped, still half asleep and not bothering to open your eyes.

He softly shushed you. “Go back to sleep, sweetheart,” he whispered. He kissed your head again as he gently pushed you back into the bed.

“Where are you going?”

“I’ll be back. Sleep.”

You whined but slipped back to sleep. Logan smiled softly, staring at you for a few more moments before getting out of bed. He pulled on some sweatpants and headed to the kitchen. He was going to make you breakfast and bring it to you in bed. It was the least he could do for you. Unfortunately, his vision of a perfect breakfast in bed wasn’t going as planned. Most of the fruit you had was rotten; he had to remake the pancake batter twice now, and currently, the pancakes on the stove were burning.

“Shit,” he muttered, trying got stop the flames from spreading. 

When the flames suddenly disappeared, Logan spun around. There you were, standing in the doorway with a smirk. Any other time, he would be checking out how you were only wearing his flannel, but right now, the only thing on his mind was the ruined breakfast.

“So this is what you left me in bed alone for?” You teased.

“You aren’t supposed to be out here,” he responded with a slight whine, coming over to you. “Go back to bed.” He turned you around and began guiding you back to the bedroom.

“But I can help. It looks like you might need it.”

“Nope.” He easily picked you up, causing you to let out a squeal. “You’re going back to bed.”

“But—“

“Nope.” He gently dropped you down on the bed and leaned over you, pinning you to the bed. “Don't move.”

“But I’m not tired."

“Don’t care. Don't move.”

“Or what?”

“You don’t want to know, sweetheart.”

“Maybe I do.”

Logan sighed, head falling to your shoulder. "Please, sweetheart… let me do this.”

You could tell that this breakfast meant a lot to him. You carded your hands through his hair for a moment, allowing him to relax. “Okay,” you whispered. “But if I smell smoke again, I’m coming out before you burn down the house.”

“Deal.” He pulled back enough to peck your lips. “I won’t be much longer.” 

Logan gave you another brief kiss before hurrying from the room. He needed to finish what he set out to do. Once the breakfast was finally finished and placed on a tray, he went out and used his claws to cut some flowers. He placed them neatly on the tray before heading back to the bedroom. You were still on the bed, sitting up and reading a book. You put it down as soon as he entered. Logan knelt on the bed and placed the tray over your lap.

“Thanks, babe,” you smiled at him. “Care to tell me what all this is for?”

“Can’t I do something to show how much you mean to me?” He responded, kissing your cheek. 

“It’s wonderful, Logan, thank you.” You reached over and pulled him in for a kiss. "I love you.”

“I love you more, sweetheart.”

read the green bone saga this week and i’m just saying. if you want an in-depth political fantasy mafia thriller (yes all of those words apply) set in a post colonial nation that is navigating an unsure global political position and the potential exploitation of its culturally significant resource that simultaneously explores the bonds between family and how they can take different shapes in the wake of loss and love and life, with brilliantly developed, fleshed out characters and realistic pacing (both in world and in the actual delivery of the story). i HIGHLY recommend.

This one is titled "I needed to urgently work on a presentation* so instead**, I somehow spent my whole day doing fuck all instead and the evening listening to Laura's Buam and consequently experiencing the whole spectrum of human emotions over the span of like, four to six songs" and goes out to @mondscheinprinzessin, naturally, for dragging me into this band.

Listen, I love movie! Aragorn, I really do. But book! Aragron wins out for me by virtue of being objectively more of a fucking weirdo

[piperamitt]

I first want to thank @thegeekylady52 for tagging me for this. Thank you!

Last song: If we count movie songs then the answer is "I'm Just Ken" from the Barbie movie. (This song is addicting).

Currently watching: A bunch of stuff, just off the top of my head there is: A rewatch of Timeless, FOP (now I'm doing this while putting a random season and episode and reading trivia on it from the wiki), technically My Adventures With Superman (whenever an episode is released or when I try to get my friends to watch it) Avatar the Last Airbender rewatch, Every Witch Way rewatch (I'm on a nostalgic spree as you can tell), and more that I chose not to write.

Currently reading: The situation here isn't much better. I mostly read fanfiction (especially about FOP and Star Wars fanfics with Bail Organa). If we want specific stuff that I'm currently in the middle of, then we have a reread of "Come What May" by FountainPenguin, and a fic called "The Beginning" by E350 on FFN. I have also decided to reread Big Nate on a Roll (now in English), the Alexander Hamilton biography by Ron Chernow, and like always I am a minute away from rereading Leia, Princess of Alderaan for the 5th time (I think... I lost count).

Current obsession: FOP (but it's always there), Kingdom Hearts, Star Wars, the new Barbie movie, My Adventures With Superman, fanfiction, and watching and reading stuff I already read. (I know it's a lot... But in my defense, Barbie was really good, I'm watching Star Wars with my friends and one of them didn't know the Empire Strikes Back reveal, MAWS is a new show and fanfiction is fanfiction).

Tagging: @orangemagicaltree @tiger-with-an-obssesion (no pressure. I just think it's right up your alley) and everyone else who sees it.
