#that'd be nice but I'm not hopeful. that would require good things to happen in this system + 90% of our gatekeepers to not be assholes

[sonofsin]

sometimes the only defense I have against trauma denial is that this system would not be this way if none of it happened. these trauma responses and behaviors and triggers are spread across a massive amount of parts and fragments, even if visual memory is blocked. it's supposed to be, that's how dissociative barriers work. the trauma only existed while it was happening as a child, which kept us alive. no shit it's still blocked now, even for those of us who directly experienced it.

SIGH.

Sigh. Sigh. Sigh.

Stupid fucking cowboy. I just can't feel bad for him. He did this to himself. Asking for forgiveness doesn't fix what he did wrong. It doesn't undo the damage. Even apologizing for his hateful attitude and cruel words in the last chapter kinda fell flat. So I for one am glad that Mom said no to them getting back together. Yes forgiveness is absolutely possible but it's like breaking a plate. It doesn't undo the brokenness.

I am curious where you're headed with her already having someone else in the wings. Clearly not someone Wyatt has met yet? Although I doubt that Jack will ever do anything to ever risk Wyatt's happiness. And he should be the one allowed to make his confession to Wyatt when he's old enough. That sort of thing is necessary in order to minimize the damage it might do to their relationship. Keeping it a secret would be wrong and a potential landmine.

I dunno if you've been paying attention to the latest drama in the fandom but some looney posted something on insta about being heartbroken by Pedro and it was so vague with so little detail as to how she and her friend approached him and how she was apparently rejected that I'm sure Pedro is in the right, but it makes me sad. I knew all those wild fan sightings and selfies and him saying how he likes it when people recognize him (admittedly this was in interviews before he got huge, it was Agent Whiskey days, lol) were going to come back and bite him in the ass. All the attention boosts his ego, he ate it up, he was so nice and accommodating and of course this attracts someone who thinks it's a good idea to cross countries and spend thousands of dollars on the outside chance she gets a celebrity encounter. But he didn't know all that background, he doesn't know her from anyone. And if she shouted it at him I'm sure it freaked him out. But anyway, the reason it makes me sad is because this is what happened in the last fandom I was in, and the attention pretty much poisoned that celebrity's relationship with his fandom and really ruined it. I really hope it doesn't happen to Pedro. Sigh.

Sorry to dump this on you, I don't really have anyone else to talk to about fandom drama, lol

Angst Anon (tonight the angst is self directed, apparently 😭🤣😏)

Aww Jack did so wrong with reader and Wyatt he still has a long way to pay and suffer the consequences of his actions. I think reader is really good for letting him in as the father of her son because as she said herself in the story, Wyatt already loves him, so she would be fighting a lost battle. Now, about their future is still uncertain, I don't think we will get to the point in the story where they will tell Wyatt what happened because that'd require him being older and I don't plan on doing time skips that could be that long, but I guess it doesn't matter who tells him the truth, it won't change the fact his heart will break. I also haven't thought much about reader's boyfriend, but that will be developed better in the upcoming chapters, that's for sure.

Now, about the whole Pedro drama from yesterday, I have to strongly disagree with you, anon. Absolutely none of that was Pedro's fault, just because he is nice accessible to his fans, it gives creepy people like that woman no right to treat him like landmark or object they can visit at any time they please. Honestly, I think Pedro is a SAINT for taking so much bullshit from people who claim to be his fans and won't respect him and the harassment of the media. But that woman, was another level. First of all, she started her text by stating she had traveled across countries just to see him, apparently she had a gift ready to hand him and she claimed to have painted her nails his favorite colors I mean please wtf and then, when people commented on her post, accusing her of being a stalker she got offended and contradicted herself by saying she was in Malta to visit friends. Her ~friend~ was a guy who had already taken a pic with Pedro there a couple of weeks ago, so they were obviously stalking him around the spots the guy knew Pedro usually hangs out during his free time.

Then, her claims of him being rude were absolutely ridiculous, whenever someone asked her how he'd been rude to her, or how she had approached him, she didn't explain at all, which is a clear sign to me that never happened at all or she was just manipulating the facts about how it happened.

I personally don't believe Pedro would be rude to her, because he isn't rude to anyone, I honestly believe she really thought she would have a fanfiction kind of experience and that he would flatter and flirt with her or something like that, and even if he were rude to her, I would totally support him because she definitely deserve it.

And then as if doing that to him while he was trying to enjoy his day off in peace, she tags him and his hair stylist (!!!) on a painfully embarrassing public post saying he BROKE HER HEART as if he were her cheating husband or something, and dude, that wasn't just a delusional teen girl, that was a DELUSIONAL WOMAN, who should have known better than to travel just to stalk a celebrity because she thinks she owns him

Apparently he had security guards because it seems it happened the same day he was seen with Joseph Quinn (? I guess that's his name? Anyway Eddie Munson from Stranger Things) so that's a relief because we never know what another person is planning, this woman was probably harmless, but we don't know anything about other people who might decide to stalk him. So I hope he stays safe and no other crazy person decides to bother him.

I really hope Pedro is able to handle this horrible side of fame with good mental health and patience, and I also hope people remember he's a human being who deserves respect ❤️

Day 2: Not really sure what more I could say today, but I said i would try!

Honestly today was a bit morose, because I can't do anything, and I don't want to do anything, so I just spent the day watching TV, which I hadn't done in a while. I also worked on my German, because we have to take another language class for the Lit degree. Actually in France whatever you do, they want you to take a "2nd Language" class (because there is a '1st language' class which is usually English). I took German in high school so I decided to take it for this too. There wasn't much choice on the remote program anyway (Spanish starting at a higher level, so it required people to have studied it already, like German, too, or beginner Portugese, which I would have loved but I wasn't sure I would have the time to get into a whole new language.) So yeah, nothing too interesting, a friend I don't talk to often called today. We never chat too much because she calls me in the car coming back from work to go get her children from daycare so that's our conversation window, but it was nice. I've also been wanting to open my own business again but every time I get the urge I get stuck. I don't know what to do. All the things I'm good at I don't like to do for money because it makes it tedious. I would love to own a sort of tea shop/library but then that would mean working on weekends lol. Been there, done that, also done night work for 7 years so I'm not eager to do that again. I just need another job. I'm kind of sad that I'm 32 and still earning minimum wage. That's not what's supposed to happen. I'm supposed to be like this friend who called me. Who got her degree, worked for a few years, got married, got children, got a promotion. Now she's an HR manager and she bought a house and... well. She's not happy. So I guess work and family aren't enough.

I would just love to buy a nice little house tho lol. I don't even have a balcony with my appartment. That'd be nice to have a garden.

Anyways, that's a lot of words to not say a lot.

I don't know, today felt worthless. I'm hoping tomorrow will be happier. Still waiting on some news to see if I can get my car fixed this week, so if it can happen, that will probably brighten my day! I'll be hoping for that just so I can end on a positive note!

[humble-boness]

As i am an introvert and like spending time alone can you tell me any thing i can do for enjoyment that'd also make me feel productive? i read books/watch series but i also want to try some fun activities i could do alone? I'm at uni hostel rn so i can't do cooking either.😩

Are there some you can suggest? Pls, it'd be a great help. 🥺

Thank you for asking and trusting that this blog can provide you a fitting answer! Despite my late response, I hope you will find what you need!

First, I would like to affirm that there is nothing wrong with unproductive hobbies. The mind is constantly working in our current complicated world, and an average person may process around 34 gigabytes of digital information a day (American sample). If you reflect with yourself and find that you are truly fond of being passive during your downtime, please don’t feel any shame about letting your mind and body rest !

Now that I have encouraged you to reflect on your preferences, I will attempt to advise you based on the three basic psychological needs of the Self-Determination Theory. : Competence, Relatedness, and Autonomy.

Competence is the need to experience mastery; feel that you are good at something.

To fulfill this need as a pastime, you should consider any creation-focused activity that you may have entertained yourself with before. If you like building with legos or just creating constructions, then playing building games like Cities: Skylines, Planet Zoos, or any creative means to feel productive and gain mastery of skills such as strategy, management with simulations. If you like making cards, then there are DIY pages that require only scraps or simple, financially friendly materials. If you are fond of animals, volunteering at local centers or helping at the children’s farms can allow you to still be among animals and contribute to your neighborhood. If you like trivia games or learning facts, consider wiki-diving and finding the shortest number of clicks to reach one article to another. Some of these may come across as big investment (Steam games’ costs, time with the local centers, etc). But if you manage to find a sustainable and long-term hobby, you will grow your competence and fulfill your need, making it a worthy endeavor in the end.

Next, relatedness - the need to feel connected to others.

Studies had shown that introverts and extroverts do not differ in their need for social connections; they simply differ in the ways they would connect. For example, extroverts would visit their friends while introverts communicate through letters. Similarly, as an introvert, you can still connect to others in your own space, alone. Finding a pen pal, running a study blog, or sending anonymous messages/participating in fun ask challenges can be a way to connect during this time of social distancing. Or you could be future-oriented and plan ahead for gifts or nice messages for your closed ones on special occasions.

Finally, autonomy, the need to feel ownership for one’s behavior.

For this one, I take inspiration from Stephen Covey’s book: 7 habits of highly effective people.

To feel ownership for your behavior, you must reflect your place in life: find your proactivity in the way you live. Be proactive in the way you communicate with others (esp when miscommunication happens), take care of your closed ones, plan for your studies, etc. To motivate this proactivity, think of the end (memento mori). When you leave this world, what kind of things you would have wanted to experience? What kind of person do you want to be remembered as? And then plan to prioritize things that help you achieve these goals at the end of your life and spend more time on them than the “urgent” tasks that lose meaning in the next three years. If you want to lead a healthy life, the time spent on exercising and maintaining stamina should be more intensive than time spent on social media. If you want to be remembered as a caring friend, check up on your friends (choosing the means most fitting to you as an introvert) and support each other. If you want to be professionally successful, reference the career trajectories of those walking the same paths as you (alumni, coworkers etc) and learn from their choices. As you become a proactive person who prioritizes things based on long-term (the end) goals, you will start to solidify your personal principles and feel accountable for your behavior.

Once you have managed to consider all of these suggestions, you will realize a lot of them also target all three psychological needs I have stated above. For example, making a scrapbook detailing your memories with a friend to gift them on their birthday makes you feel crafty (competence), connected (relatedness), and solidifying your role as a good friend (autonomy). Or a moodboard dedicated to them. I’m certain you will know your preferences and situations best to find these new hobbies !

Wishing you the best luck with everything !

more fun once you get into it too] Jimmy: [love that just don't do a me and knock a whole display of bras over yourself] Janis: [I did say we threw our bra on Mia's head so let's not reclaim that for yourself hen, though I do find them difficult to drive as someone who hasn't needed to so it will be carnage, like Primark at xmas isn't already hehe] Jimmy: [10000% am gonna say he takes off her shoes and won't give them back so instead puts on some OTT christmas slippers that are shaped like a xmas pudding or some nonsense because she's been on that ankle too much honey and we are cross] Janis: [we do not love ourselves or our lives enough to take a break so it's tea also that is amusant so yes because shan't be buying and that's the kind of mankiness you can expect from this shop or

just don't trash these scooters that we're using to bump into him/everyone/everything] Jimmy: [also not sorry for whatever he's chucking at her as the mood takes him] Janis: [just don't chuck that stripper jumper or we'll actually be raging] Jimmy: [can't wait for your jumper try on sesh when we reach that section lads] Janis: [oh lawd] Jimmy: [they should try on like onesies and all sorts so

elsewhere] Janis: [that fine, any other shop will have some that aren't horrific, primark might have the kind of make your own vibe that Bobby would like] Jimmy: [aww that'd be cute] Janis: [you crafty boi, you'd also know how to do it without a kit girl so if you wanna come through you can, as for primark, we probably get the vibe, unless there's anything specific we wanna say/do?} Jimmy: [I think we've covered it so you can go back to his gaff and construct this 🐑 lewk] Janis: [at least we've made your life 10x easier with this coat, also gonna be the first time you've been to his so probably just hanging about outside like am I leaving now or] Jimmy: [will carry you over the threshold like that was what was stopping you coming in even though he blatantly doesn't need help & make you tea so we can have that milk two sugars revelation] Janis: [just like sup bitch to Twix] Jimmy: [the beginning of the real love story] Janis: [not like we're pure awkward and like hi dog this I can do right at least] Jimmy: [I hope they've found a christmas jumper for you too Twix cos there's no festive cheer in this gaff] Janis: [casually assess how many decs we gotta get, also dread to think the jumpers you've ended up with] Jimmy: [give her that doodle you did and dramatically sign it like a nerd] Janis: [🙄but 😏 'get famous and I'll flog it'] Jimmy: ['you've posted it, bound to get insta famous' cue a fake dramatic scroll through his phone] Janis: ['if you have to put a word before it, it don't count' and mimes shooting him in the chest 'cos insta fame is all we have hunny] Jimmy: [does an OTT death scene] Janis: [twix will be trampling all over you like oh hey what you doing down here] Jimmy: [😒 but we secretly love her really] Janis: [just like it's your own fault boy

pretending you're gonna drop him so he's reminded of Asia and the assault course instead] Jimmy: [puts her foot up and generally fusses like a nurse because we know it's fucked] Janis: ['you're meant to be drawing a sheep's face right now' 'cos you cannot like focus boy] Jimmy: [gets and chucks a bag of frozen peas at her so he can put a tea towel on her head like an even bigger nerd but then does get his craft on] Janis: ['downgrade' like where's me crown but staying put 'cos it'll be more fuss if you don't] Jimmy: [obvs does make her a crown that's actually decent because that bitch] Janis: [so amused 'cos impressive 'wasted on me and not quinn'] Jimmy: [takes a pic like it's not wasted now but really it's to hide our heart eyes/stop him saying something that he can't pretend is fake when there is nobody here] Janis: ['rather this than a sheep, I guess' like not a #goals lewk soz bobby it will be on you] Jimmy: [chucks all those cotton wall balls he couldn't attach at her like they are little snowballs because playfights forever] Janis: [just juggling with them like I too can be impressive lmao] Jimmy: [craft break while he tries to have a go/tries to get her to teach him how to do it because we're impressed but also competitive] Janis: [love that for y'all, I can't do it but I assume you'll at least be able to do 2 or 3 jimothy] Jimmy: [one should fall in his tea though because 💔] Janis: [devastation] Jimmy: [cue OTT pout soz for how distracting that always is] Janis: [getting up like calm down, I'll make another one, 'cos looking for an excuse to move tbh] Jimmy: [gotta push her back down into that seat before she can because sauciness forever] Janis: [just like OI but a LOOK too] Jimmy: [giving that LOOK back as standard] Janis: ['I can do it'] Jimmy: [putting out a hand to help her up for that parallel] Janis: [reluctantly taking it with a 😒 'cos omg we're fine even though we aren't but you know] Jimmy: [does the drawing a smile with his finger tip thing because if we actually touch her rn there will be no stopping us and this sheep isn't gonna finish itself] Janis: [run and make that tea gal distraction distraction] Jimmy: [likewise get
