Offering

Step forward. Are you ready?

Show me your scars, your absences,

Prove the weight you carry:

A missing gaze, a borrowed spine,

A voice frayed at the edges.

No? Then what can we offer?

Extend your hand.

It’s empty, but not for long.

Here’s a gift,

It will hold your burdens,

Smooth the sharp edges.

It will obey.

Will you take it?

It promises to close your eyes

And wipe away the last grief.

We are makers of necessity.

Here, try on this armor:

Rigid, but unyielding.

It will weather storms,

Defy the consuming fire.

It’s yours, for now and forever.

Your thoughts wander, incomplete.

Let me offer clarity—

A figure of clay and breath,

Shaped to suit your needs.

Do you find them perfect?

They mold, they mend,

They fill the quiet void.

You lack. They complete.

You seek. They answer.

Will you claim it?

This is the final offer.

Themes: Conformity, identity, societal pressure, artificial fulfillment, autonomy.

Tone: Critical, questioning, rebellious. Challenges the idea of filling one’s life with externally imposed ideals and questions the authenticity of such offerings.

Ever write something that makes yourself go

Can I write a perfectly constructed fanfiction that could rival fucking Neil Gaiman? no

But, does that matter? Also no

Do I enjoy making stories? Still kinda figuring that out

Do you enjoy the stories I make? I shouldn't care

So what if my stories end up making My Immortal look like ambrosia, I should be making myself happy

I only have 80 years on this dirt planet, why should I waste a second feeling bad for not meeting the standards of some imaginary stranger, when I can feel good about what makes me happy

"Have you been avoiding me?"

"What?! Me? Nah… it's not like i, uh, caught feeling for you and now I'm having literally the worst existential crisis ever" starts hyperventilating "what reason could i possibly have to avoid YoU" chuckles awkwardly while trying to catch his breath

“i miss you,” you text. and i want to tell you that since we’ve met my heart’s glowed warm and bright because there’s a ray of sunlight you put inside it. instead, i text “i miss you too,” hoping you get the message.

“you’re a writer, can you explain your process?” yes. first, i panic. then i procrastinate. then, in a fit of productivity at 3 a.m., i create chaos.

From that post I saw going around. I just wanted to add something

[denofdreams-writerblr]

[what-iz-life]

Normalize seeing someone's lack of effort as their lack of interest in you regardless of what they tell you. Giving you all of the right words, but none of the right actions is called manipulation. When a person wants to be with you, they prove it.

Unbreakable

Do you not see how frailty flees from your grasp?

Every crack you've endured, every fracture you've faced,

you've risen, unshattered, stronger than stone,

each scar a testament, a victory carved in resilience,

proof that the unbreakable is born from the broken.
