"You don’t get it, do you? Every time I walk away, the ground pulls me back toward you like I’m tethered to this place, to you!"

"I swear, even the rain mocks me, falling harder every time I try to forget you!"

"Why is it that every time I try to move on, the stars spell out your name like they’re taunting me?"

"I hate how every single flower blooms brighter when I think of you! It’s like even nature is against me!"

"I can’t stand it! Every time I get close to letting you go, the wind whispers your name, like it won’t let me forget!"

"Every time I try to bury these feelings, the earth shakes beneath my feet as if it knows what I’m doing!"

"I’ve tried to walk away a hundred times, but every shadow, every flicker of light reminds me of you. It’s like you haunt me!"

"Even the ocean keeps pulling me back to the shore where we stood. Do you know how infuriating that is? I’m drowning in memories of you!"

"Every time I close my eyes, the wind rushes in like it’s carrying your scent! I can’t escape you, even in my dreams!"

"I’ve screamed at the stars, demanded they stop reminding me of you, but they just burn brighter. They know, don’t they? They know!"

"You have no idea how much I’ve fought against this, how much I’ve tried to tear you out of my life, but even the trees whisper your name!"

"It’s like the moon itself mocks me, shining brighter whenever I think of you! It’s unbearable!"

"I hate how even the fire crackles louder when I’m angry with you, like it’s feeding on my frustration! But I can’t stop!"

"Do you know what it’s like to try and forget you, only for the rivers to murmur your name every time I pass by?"

"I curse your name every time I see the sun set, but it still paints the sky in colors that remind me of you!"

"I tried to burn the letters, the memories, but the fire wouldn’t take them! It’s like the universe won’t let me forget you!"

"Every time I get close to leaving, the stars realign, the air shifts, and it feels like the world won’t let me go!"

"You think I want to feel this way? Even the storms rise up when I try to let you go, like the sky is angry at me!"

"I’ve tried to bury it, to push you out, but even the ground beneath me trembles with your name!"

"Every time I get close to moving on, the world bends in your direction! Why can’t I escape this?"

⋆𐙚₊˚ grumpy x sunshine prompts!

holding hands: grumpy always insists they’re not the hand-holding type, but sunshine slips their hand into grumpy’s anyway, and despite the grumbling, grumpy’s grip never lets go.

sick day: grumpy catches a cold and insists they're fine, but sunshine shows up with a blanket, soup, and a movie to keep them company, ignoring all of grumpy's protests and making sure they're well cared for.

late-night talk: grumpy can’t sleep and finds sunshine sitting on the porch. instead of going back inside, grumpy sits down too, reluctantly opening up as sunshine listens, not saying much but offering quiet comfort just by being there.

rain-soaked rescue: sunshine gets caught in a downpour, soaked through and shivering, and grumpy rushes out with an umbrella, grumbling about how sunshine should take better care of themselves while wrapping them in a warm jacket.

grumpy’s soft side: sunshine accidentally finds grumpy’s secret stash of cute little things they’ve kept as mementos - like a doodle sunshine made or a pressed flower from a walk they took together. grumpy tries to act embarrassed, but sunshine can see the fondness in their eyes.

dear diary⋆.ೃ࿔*:･✨

keeping a diary is so much FUN and helpful not only for my mental health but for overall GIRLINESS. as someone who's been keeping a diary consistently for two years now, i'll be giving some diary resources and tips on how to get started and maintain a diary.

WHY ITS FUN TO HAVE A DIARY ;

i love to read past entries bcuz first, im rly rly funny and its fun to go back and read what i was writing about at that time and just reminisce on points in my life. it makes for great entertainment and it showcases growth that i've made and the way that my character changed or grew.

its been a game-changer for my mental health bcuz i have a little outlet where i can be completely transparent and just yap endlessly with no one to stop me or invade on my privacy.

TOOLS FOR A PHYSICAL DIARY ;

fluffy pink and purple pens

yummy scented glitter pens

past-able things (examples include ; cut outs from magazines, photos that you've taken and printed, stickers, memo sheets)

some print able and past able resources ;

decoration for the actual diary like glitter, stickers, ribbons, and frills.

for the actual diary , look for diaries that are pretty (for example, fluffy diaries)

more examples ;

TOOLS FOR A DIGITAL DIARY ;

a good writing tool (FOR MY DIARY, I USE NOTION)

cute headers + photos to insert into my diary, i find all of my photos on pinterest.

digital diaries are easily a lot less work then physical diaries which is why i keep a digital diary but keeping a physical diary is SO much fun too.

THE ACTUAL WRITING PART ;

everyone will write in their diaries in a different way based on whatever feels the most natural, but for me i start off my entries with "dear diary" and then write in the journal as though i was writing to a friend so its super comfy and relaxed.

i actually have a couple of writing outlets, so i have a journal and i have a diary. my diary is mostly for my day-to-day life. its updated 2x a week (tuesdays and thursdays) in my journal, thats less about my day to day and just random things i wanna write about.

STUFF THAT I HAVE IN MY JOURNAL ;

all about me

girlhood and the little joys of life

why im the most beautiful girl (with proof)

stuff i like

vaunting about myself

sweetest inbox letters (cuz ur all so sweet)

list of things i've consciously manifested so far this year

my car collection

tattoos i wanna get and why

my unholier thoughts

PROMPTS AND IDEAS ;

angel numbers

favorite song lyrics

list of things to manifest

a love letter (to yourself, crush, etc)

letter to your future/past self

lipstick stain log

current obsessions

pressed flowers

favorite sweet treats (ranked)

list ur crushes and celebrity crushes

favorite quotes in general

ppl that u look up to

doodles

all in all i think that journalling is such a fun and beneficial hobby and hopefully this post can help u to start something that u might rly love. ✨

Ways to say "I love you" / prompts

You're a miracle I've been waiting for my whole life.

I wake up only because of you.

I'm living for you.

You're the reason I'm still alive.

I take my every breath for you.

You saved me. And I'm incredibly thankful for that.

You're the most important person in my life.

For you, I'd steal the stars.

My life has no meaning without you.

I'm incomplete without you.

I don't know how to live without you.

No one will ever be able to replace you.

Losing you is not an option.

This world doesn't make sense without you in it.

I'm not going anywhere.

You're not alone.

As long as I have you, I have a reason to live.

All I ever wanted is there in your eyes.

You're the only one on my mind.

You got that power over me...

Living without you is not an option.

I'm lost without you.

I love you too much to not care.

I could bear the thought of losing him. It's you I can't bear the thought of losing.

I never thought I could fall for you so hard.

You're my world.

I wanna have a family with you.

You're my night sky full of stars.

You matter to me. A lot.

How could I ever love someone else?

You mean the world to me.

How to Start Creative Writing

Journalling

If you’re unsure how to begin writing and find yourself with a mind block, starting a journal can help unlock your creativity.

Writing daily about anything that comes to your mind will train your brain and gradually help it unlock your imagination.

Creative Writing Summer Course

If you’re just starting as a creative writer and you are looking to collaborate, share ideas with others, and workshop your writing, joining a creative writing summer course could be a great option.

This is a chance to develop your writing skills and network with other budding writers.

Write!

The main piece of advice for starting creative writing is to pick up your pen or laptop and start writing.

Whether you have a single idea for a character or a complete narrative arc in mind, you will only succeed when you begin to write.

Even if you have no idea what to write, once you channel your inner creativity and start putting words down, you will notice the words naturally flow.

Try to use the elements of creative writing, and you’ll be on your way to creating amazing writing.

Benefits of Creative Writing

Creative writing helps develop your imagination, improves your ability to express ideas, enhances your writing skills, and can be therapeutic.

It also offers opportunities for professional growth in fields such as literature, journalism, and content creation.

Some Ways to Improve your Creative Writing

Reading widely

Practising regularly

Attending workshops or courses

Seeking feedback from peers

Experimenting with different styles and genres

Some Types of Creative Writing

Creative writing includes various genres such as fiction, poetry, drama, and non-fiction.

You can explore different forms like short stories, novels, screenplays, and more.

Some Ways to Overcome Writer's Block

Techniques to overcome writer's block include journalling, freewriting, changing your environment, setting small writing goals, and reading to gain inspiration.

It's important to stay patient and persistent.

[wisteria-whump]

wait im thinking about a whumpee who kept a journal throughout like their entire life (or at least since before whatever trauma they've endured) so their friends post-rescue either find the journals and read them or whumpee even offers them to their friends as a way of showing what they were like before or articulating their feelings without having to say anything out loud..,,... and there's just such a difference between before, during, and after.....,,,,,,

Erenwol week Day 6

He asked me if I would take him to meet my family. I explained the situation. I wasn't sure how he would react after everything that happened, but it seemed important to him. Important enough that he still wanted to go, and while I always dread the thought of going back home, it was easier having him with me… I know my mom would've loved him.

Thanks of course to @zeloinator for the prompt list. ♥

[bookished]

( a collection of friends to enemies dialogue prompts. adjust phrasing as necessary.) feel free to make edits to better suit your muse, but please don’t edit or add on to the original post 🤍 if you like, please consider supporting me through tips, it's highly appreciated.

“How could you throw away everything we’ve been through for this?”

“You betrayed me. I’ll never forgive you for that.”

“I never thought it’d be you standing in my way.”

“After everything I did for you, this is how you repay me?”

“I should’ve known better than to trust someone like you.”

“You used me, and I was too blind to see it until now.”

“Funny how you only care when it benefits you.”

“I supported you when no one else would, and you didn’t even hesitate to stab me in the back.”

“I’ve done nothing but clean up your messes, and I’m sick of it.”

“I didn’t want it to come to this, but you’ve left me no choice.”

“I should’ve seen it coming. You were never really on my side, were you?”

“You always needed to be the hero, didn’t you? Well, congratulations—you’re my villain now.”

“I stood by you when everyone else walked away, and now I see why they did.”

“You played the victim so well, I actually believed you.”

“You always knew how to hurt me, and now you’ve finally succeeded.”

"Your last act of friendship was stabbing me in the back." "No. That was my first act of honesty."

"I know every dark thing you've ever done." "And I know why you helped me do them." "That's the difference between us. I can live with my sins." "No. The difference is I stopped pretending mine were justified."

"How many others before me?"

⋆𐙚₊˚ generic hurt / comfort prompts!

overworked: one character has been pushing themselves too hard, barely sleeping or eating, and the other intervenes, gently convincing them to take a break, offering a quiet space to rest

fear of failure: one character is overwhelmed with self-doubt and fear of failure. the other reassures them, reminding them of their strengths, staying close until they feel ready to try again

grief: one character is mourning the loss of someone important to them, and the other provides quiet companionship, listening when they need to talk and simply holding them when words aren’t enough

homesickness: one character feels out of place and misses their home or family. the other surprises them with something that reminds them of home, offering comfort and reminding them they aren’t alone

bad weather: during a terrible storm, one character is frightened, memories of past traumas resurfacing. the other wraps them in a blanket, keeps them close, and distracts them until the storm passes
