#until it felt like an overly ambitious teacher but not an enemy

Idk why but I feel like this awakened something in me. Public therapy session between me and myself was a success 👍
reminder.... bad people aren't worried that they might be a bad person.
Thanks 🥺
(skfjgh sorry I'm about to rant)
I used to think this a lot to reassure myself but now I think my ideas of what good and bad are have gotten more complex. Like, someone with good intentions can do a lot of harm because they aren't making any effort to reflect on the actual effects of their actions. And some people know they're a bad person but are okay with it. Or some people have bad motives to do good things so does that make them good or bad?
I think I'm just scared of being one of those people. I don't want to be someone who doesn't know or doesn't care how I effect other people and I don't want to be someone that tries not to effect people at all either anymore. I used to try that but it's impossible and it's also not what I want. I exist and I want to help people with that existence. Not to make up for my existence but to actually just help people.
But because of that, I think a lot about this. And I don't always know if it's good for me. I worry a lot because I care a lot but the worrying tends to take over
#like thinking about this feels like it fundamental changed something in me#it made me realize that the way i held my sister accountable when she hurt me wasnt wrong#which is a thing that frequently weighs on me#and it also made me realize that my anxiety isnt doing shit for me. its just hurting me and telling me i still need it#i DON'T need it. thats revolutionary#im starting to believe i am a good person simply because ive been a bad person and accepted it#it feels like this was the logical next step that so many people struggle to take#it gives me hope for myself and for other people#back to the stuff about my sister#i had a lot of conflicting thoughts on what happened between us#because it felt like she saw feeling guilt as a genuine threat. and i think i can somewhat understand that#but where she sought out reassurance i was lying awake in my bed. sitting with the guilt#letting it seep into my bones until i understood it fundamental#until it felt like an overly ambitious teacher but not an enemy#i know the guilt of my actions can't decestate me unless i do something devastating#its like a fire that i lit and its up to me to keep from fanning it too high or letting it go out#it illuminates my surroundings and gives me clarity but as long as my appreciation never turns to carelessness#i think ill be alright. i think ill keep doing bad things but react to them in a good way. i think i can allow that#if it makes me better i think i can allow that

in a word ; peaceful . wanda maximoff was adopted into a loving family - the maximoffs . she has one sister , they’re not very close but wanda cares deeply about her . she’s never questioned her birth parents and instead embraced her adopted family ever since she was adopted as a toddler . she’s known very little about loss and true pain . her life has been ... blissfully happy aside from a few ups and downs , but she’s taken all of them with stride .
her family moved to aurora during her senior year of high school , which was actually the most difficult years of her life ( she sees it worse than the months following her divorce with her now ex husband ) . she was always a weird kid . goth . introverted . unsure of herself and her abilities as a student . struggling with mental illness . questioning her sexuality . so pretty much any kid in high school .
wanda started college with a major in english & a minor in psychology . again , she was a loner . she’s never been much of a “ social “ person . she kept a lot to herself and focused too hard on her studies - which ended in her graduating a few semesters early ( doubling up on courses ... taking winter & summer courses ) . she had always been an overly ambitious student and eager to do everything with perfection .
after graduating , she got a job as a high school english teacher . it was an intense year filled with parent - teacher meetings , everyone telling her she was doing her job wrong , parents who acted like they knew more than her despite wanda being the teacher . a lot of ups and downs .
during her first few years as a teacher she fell in love with ben kenobi . and fast . wanda has always felt emotions so passionately and falling in love was no different . soon enough they welcomed a beautiful & healthy baby girl , who they named jacqueline . jackie for short . she is truly the light of wanda’s life - wanda would die for jackie and kill anyone who tries to hurt her . wanda and ben’s love burned brightly for awhile - but they eventually divorced , despite their love for each other . they blamed it on not having enough time to spend together and their lives going in two different directions . they were once a binary star ; one star system consisting of two bodies . but those days were long gone .
nowadays , wanda still considers ben as one of her closest friends . and still that person who knows her more than she knows herself . she’ll always love him & care about him . it’s just who she is as a person . she cares too much and can’t let people go . they’re not that divorced couple who can’t get along and end up hurting their child in the process - they’re the opposite of that .
wanda can usually be found at the local high school , grading papers and setting up classes until it gets dark . she pours her entire being into her job and wants to be the kind of teacher that leaves a good impression on their students . and if some of them end up english majors ? or as teachers ? or learning about their love for books because of her ? then she’s done her job right . she’s an extremely kind and empathic woman who watches out for the

pain . loss . grief . her first recurring nightmare was about the events leading up to house of m . she hasn’t quite grasped the events that were taking place , it’ll take a few more nightmares till she can process the whole thing - what she remembers is feeling negative emotions so intensely that she became catatonic . she remembers losing herself to her feelings & the pain associated with the children that she lost . she remembers doing something drastic - manipulated into it , maybe , but it was her spell that did the damage . it was wanda that altered the fabric of reality to suit her family and save herself from being put down like a dog .

wanda wants to ignore them ... but she doesn’t . she can’t help but question her nightmares and what they mean for her and her future . for her daughter . she’s so comfortable with the life she’s living now that she doesn’t want anything to change let alone the pain that will come with all of these nightmares . she’s been doing yoga a lot lately and more often than usual . when she did it in her previous life it was because life was stressful and she needed a way to calm her mind . she’s started meditating a lot too - which she hasn’t done since she was a teen .
𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦 ?
wanda is moreso comic based with mcu influences . instead of being an enhanced human by hydra experiments she’s a mutant who’s abilities were augmented by hydra ( which she didn’t willingly volunteer for - hydra sought out her and her brother and kidnapped them to take part in the experiments ) .
she’s the daughter of erik lehnsherr & magda eisenhardt .
childhood is more based off of the comics - mcu comes in after her and pietro leave the brotherhood of evil mutants and join the avengers . it’s a weird timeline that i’ll write out ... eventually !
everything up to uncanny avengers is canon for wanda , including house of m , m-day and finding the reincarnated versions of her twin sons !
she still wears a lot of red clothing & is weirdly interested in witchcraft .
regularly deals with mental illness and sees a therapist . she hardly drinks alcohol due to the medication she’s on .
she’s also a vegetarian ! and was raised jewish by her adopted family ! ( unlike in the comics where her father is jewish but she wasn’t raised that way due to being adopted by the maximoff’s )
experiences weird feelings of shivers and chills at random moments - which is associated with when she was turned to dust by thanos .
wanda always wanted children but only truly had that for a small amount of time . the moments before chthon absorbed the twins & the time during house of m . she has a weird relationship with tommy & billy since they were raised by different families . she isn’t even sure how they came to be her reincarnated sons . she has a feeling that the original twins replaced tommy & billy at some point and if that’s true - she has so much guilt already , she isn’t sure if she could handle more .
