9 chapter of my SonAmy fic, finally got to something romantic. But fr they know each other for around nine days-

99% of my fanfiction is romance, but when I write them, it feels like I write anything, but romance.

Tho writing team Chaotix and two random women fighting was fun. This fic is so random, I love it.

Everything sucks, right?

Dose anyone else have a hard time getting into their writing hobby casually? Either I'm writing a 3,000 word short story in one sitting or I'm using all my energy to write two sentences then I delete them anyways because I'm not vibing with what they said, even though I made the charcter and I made them say it.

I was super tired and ready to fall asleep but it's a quarter past midnight and I can't sleep because I'm pondering about my gender dysphoria too much. I honestly don't know what I want to do with myself. I want to be more androgynous even though being nonbinary doesn't require that. But I don't feel comfortable in my feminine skin and I don't want to be a man either. Why can't I just be a genderless blob?

Embracing Growth Through Pain: A Journey of Transformation

Life is a beautiful yet challenging journey filled with ups and downs. At times, we encounter experiences that shake us to our core, leaving us feeling lost, hurt, and overwhelmed. It’s in these moments that we often find ourselves whispering, "I have to grow from this." But let’s be honest: the path to growth can hurt so badly. And that’s okay.

When we find ourselves in the depths of pain, it can feel like there's no way out. Whether it's heartbreak, loss, disappointment, or failure, these experiences can weigh heavily on our hearts and minds. In these tough times, it’s easy to become consumed by our pain, to feel as though we are stuck in a never-ending cycle of sadness. But what if we shift our perspective? What if we view this pain as a catalyst for growth?

First and foremost, it’s important to acknowledge your feelings. Pain is a natural part of being human; it's okay to feel hurt. Allow yourself the grace to experience your emotions fully. It’s in these raw moments that we can begin to understand the depths of our hearts. Instead of suppressing your pain or putting on a brave face, give yourself permission to feel. Cry if you need to, scream if it helps, and take the time to process what you are going through.

As difficult as it may seem, remember that pain often brings clarity. It forces us to confront aspects of ourselves that we may have overlooked. In the midst of suffering, we often discover our true strength, resilience, and capacity for healing. As we begin to navigate through the hurt, we can ask ourselves important questions: What have I learned from this experience? How has it changed my perspective? What can I do differently moving forward?

Growth is rarely a linear process; it comes in waves. There will be days when you feel empowered and ready to take on the world, and there will be days when the weight of your pain feels unbearable. It’s essential to be patient with yourself during this time. Healing takes time, and it's not a race. Celebrate the small victories along the way, and acknowledge the progress you’re making, even if it feels slow.

It's also crucial to lean on your support system. Reach out to friends, family, or a therapist who can provide a listening ear and a comforting presence. Sharing your thoughts and feelings with others can lighten the burden and remind you that you are not alone in your struggles. Sometimes, simply expressing what you’re going through can bring about a sense of relief and healing.

As you begin to heal, embrace the idea that this pain can transform you into a stronger, more resilient version of yourself. Growth doesn’t mean that the hurt will disappear entirely; rather, it means that you learn to carry it with you, to use it as a tool for future growth. You can emerge from this experience with newfound wisdom, empathy, and strength.

In conclusion, remember that it’s okay to hurt. It’s okay to feel lost. But never forget that you have the power to grow from this. Embrace the journey, however painful it may be, knowing that every challenge you face is an opportunity for transformation. Trust that you will come out on the other side, stronger and more resilient than ever. Keep moving forward, and allow your pain to be the catalyst for your most profound growth. You are capable of amazing things—just keep going!

Finding Inspiration In Survival: Embracing Your Journey

In life, we often find ourselves navigating turbulent waters—times when the challenges seem insurmountable, and we operate on pure instinct. It's during these moments that we enter what I like to call "survival mode." It's a state where we do whatever it takes to get through the day, and yet, all too often, we find ourselves judging our actions or decisions made in those tough times. Today, I want to remind you: don’t judge yourself for what you did in survival mode. You were simply trying to survive.

When we find ourselves in survival mode, we are often faced with overwhelming stress and uncertainty. In these moments, our primary goal is to make it through, and that can lead to decisions that may not align with our long-term values or desires. It’s essential to understand that this is normal. We are human, and we do what we must to cope with the circumstances around us.

You did your best with the tools you had at that time. Remember, survival mode is not about making the perfect choices; it's about getting by. It’s about finding ways to cope when faced with adversity. If you turned to unhealthy habits, made impulsive decisions, or avoided certain situations, know that these actions were your way of managing the chaos. Instead of criticizing yourself, take a moment to acknowledge your resilience. You faced challenges head-on, and that in itself is commendable.

It’s also crucial to recognize that survival mode is a temporary state. Once the immediate threat or stressor subsides, we have the opportunity to reflect on our experiences with a clearer perspective. This reflection is part of the healing process. Use this time to assess what you’ve learned and how you can grow from those experiences. Instead of focusing on the choices you wish you hadn’t made, celebrate the strength that brought you through. You were doing what you could, and that is enough.

Survival mode does not define who you are. It is merely a chapter in your story—a period of your life where you were fighting for your peace and well-being. Embrace this chapter as part of your journey, not something to be ashamed of. Allow yourself compassion and understanding, recognizing that every experience shapes you into the person you are today.

Inspiration often comes from our struggles. By sharing our stories of survival, we not only heal ourselves but can also inspire others who may be feeling lost or judged. So, let’s create a culture of understanding where we acknowledge that everyone has their battles, and sometimes, survival mode is a necessary phase.

In, remember that you are not alone in your journey. Don’t judge yourself harshly for the actions taken in survival mode. Embrace your journey, honor your resilience, and recognize that you did the best you could. Use this experience to inspire yourself and others to rise above challenges and cultivate a life of growth and self-compassion. You are worthy of love and understanding, both from yourself and others. Keep moving forward!

You never know someone's struggle ❤️‍🩹

[sammibellarts]

Getting this out so if you don’t like the ramblings of a person who has self esteem issues, welp…bye. ❤️

Anyway, I have always struggled with appreciating the work I produce, I’m so hard on myself, mostly due to seeing my friends and mutuals who also share their artwork and, I see that mine doesn’t contain the same amount of detail, or looks as polished, or is just not to the same caliber, or in the same style, or shit, gets as much traction, I always, or well have always, felt lesser.

It’s created this cycle of self deprecation and hatred for my artwork and it’s made me blind to the progress I have actually made over the years as I’ve gotten back into drawing. I was never proud of my work and even though I’d post it, or follow a trend or anything like that, nothing made me happy, or prideful and, it sucked.

It only now hit me that I’ve come so far and learned so much and can actually visually see the progress I’ve made, in the craft that I love so much. I finished a picture that took me days and rather than feeling burnt out or tired, I looked at it and wept. Wept because it was something I drew for the fun of it, something I drew that didn’t have a time constraint or a gimmick, something that had to do with something I find joy in, and I wept because it was beautiful, and I could remember how I did it and am actually confident enough to say I could do it again. That…hasn’t happened in a long time for me and it felt like true breath, like I can actually do this, am I an artist, and I am capable of doing something that not only I like but others would find beautiful as well.

I no longer feel like I’m posing as an artist, the imposter is no longer present, it’s finally Me, and it feels magnificent..

I’m finally here.

In the realm of struggle, where challenges reside, Shayari unveils the emotions that hide. With words as companions, I walk this path, Expressing the turmoil, facing life's wrath.

Through hardships and trials, I find my way, Shayari becomes my solace, day by day. Each verse tells a story of battles fought, The strength within, lessons taught.

In the depths of darkness, where hope seems far, Shayari becomes my guiding star. Through verses penned with resilience and might, I gather the courage to continue the fight.

The struggles may be fierce, the journey long, But shayari echoes the spirit strong. With every line I write, I reclaim my power, Transforming struggles into a triumph flower.

In each syllable, I find solace and release, Shayari whispers, bringing me peace. For through the struggle, my spirit evolves, And shayari becomes the voice that resolves.

So, I embrace the struggle with poetic art, Conveying the emotions from deep within my heart. In the realm of shayari, I find strength and grace, Transforming the struggle into a sacred space.

Breaking Free from Codependency: A Journey of Self-Discovery

I'll never forget the day I finally found the courage to leave my emotionally neglectful and physically abusive partner. It took me eight long years to realize that love wasn't enough to keep me trapped in a toxic relationship. I had to learn the hard way that being dependent on someone else was one of the worst positions to be in.

At first, I was scared to be on my own. I worried about affording my own place, keeping my phone on, and taking care of myself. I had become comfortable in my discomfort, and the thought of starting over was daunting. But I knew I had to take control of my life and break free from the chains of codependency.

It wasn't easy, and I struggled financially for a while. There were times when I doubted myself and wondered if I had made a mistake. But I refused to give up. I worked hard every day, committed to building a better future for myself. And slowly but surely, my financial stability began to improve.

Looking back, I realize that I was living in a state of toxic dependence. I had given up my power and autonomy, relying on someone else to take care of me. But I've learned that true happiness comes from within. It's not about what someone else can provide for us, but about what we can create for ourselves.

To all the women out there who are struggling to break free from codependent relationships, I see you. I root for you. It's not going to be easy, but it's worth it. You deserve to be happy, and you deserve to be in control of your own life.

Don't be afraid to take the leap and start over. It may be scary, but it's also liberating. You'll learn to rely on yourself, to trust yourself, and to love yourself. And when you do, you'll realize that you're capable of so much more than you ever thought possible.

So, to all the girls who are busting their asses to create a better life for themselves, I salute you. You're not alone, and you're not crazy for wanting more. You're strong, you're capable, and you're deserving of happiness. Keep pushing forward, and know that you're doing the best you can. And that's something to be proud of.
