i'm not really up to talking about the larger miseries, especially today, outside my inner circle. i hope those of you in need have a friend you can lean on, or maybe a therapist. ideally both, since both are important in different ways.

a really solid piece here as always, i think you handle humor and horror equally well. definitely hits some personal notes.

that's me with a lot of things i see other people publish tbh. but it's always good to just do something yourself for the sake of it, and your own take on something will never be quite the same as someone else's

this one?

had some ups and downs but i think the overall direction is improved, yes <3

you're legitimately one of the coolest people i know and i'm sorry you're going through this stuff. it really is the worst.

there's a lot of dreams i've had to give up over the years but when someone takes something and shoves it in your face, especially for a joke, it hurts in a particularly cruel way

if there's a way to make peace with this i haven't discovered it yet. i'm sorry it's hurting you too.

otoh i got a really awesome commission back that i've been looking forward to since the moment i paid for it and that brightened my day immensely =w=

i know it's because of my perspective on it but i just don't think i have a very post-worthy life tbqh. there's only so much 'stayed indoors again today to let my body rest' etc. that i can handle disclosing without dwelling on it long enough to attract the Bad Thoughts
