send in " reminds me of you " for my muse to recount things they see, smell, hear, feel and taste that remind them of your muse.

for example: the brilliant blue of a summer's sky, the scent of freshly mown grass in spring, the taste of fresh strawberries and sweetened cream, the softness of freshly laundered cotton sheets, or the sound of a harp in a huge, open, empty church.

what kinds of responses did u get abt the rpc being better or worse in the past??? i'm curious

hi my love! excellent question, i'm going to summarise the comments as best i can, because by-and-large they all seem to be saying the same thing (which makes things easier, surely!)

essentially there's a distinct lack of interaction going on lately. some theories were offered, but there's no real way to prove them, so it's easier to say that the current difficulties in the rpc are stemming from recent stresses (the pandemic and politics being two massive causes, from my own conversations) and the fact that we're all growing into becoming this new generation of adults with educations and careers and lives behind the screens.

as such, the result for tumblr is that more and more of us are struggling to be here as much as we once were. and while this wasn't said by anyone on the post, i'd like to put forward my own perspective. i recently did a lot of job jumping. and i'm currently in a job that starts early and finishes up at around 3PM. lovely, right? not quite. i moved in with some family nearer to the job, and i find it very difficult to write with them around. i want to! but sometimes, between people, time, energy, inspiration, distractions... writing isn't so easy lately. sometimes i have so many ideas in my head at work, and i scribble them into my notebook, and i get home, and suddenly i just don't want those ideas anymore.

some people came forward and suggested that we live in an age where our attention spans have shrunk. and that's also a fascinating perspective, and one i think i agree with. everything is shrunk down now. videos are shorter, tv seasons are down to eight episodes (a THIRD of what we had growing up) and people act like a two hour long movie is going to need bathroom breaks installed into them. sometimes we might start a reply, and half-way through we just... lose momentum. we don't want that angst now, we want some fluff!

however.

the results of the post were all fascinating and very helpful, and i recommend that you all read them just to have that piece of insight. but i think, maybe, sometimes we get in our own way. of course we're not around as much. during the pandemic, people developed new hobbies. we found new methods of release. sometimes, after work, i like to pull over at a nearby lake and walk the trails surrounding it. or i might go to a drive-thru and just listen to music while drinking an ice-cold pepsi max. i love writing. we all love writing. but in a sense, and this will sound entirely stupid, but in a sense, perhaps the pandemic was something that allowed us a chance to redefine stress relief. it's been five years now, and we're already forgetting. i found myself getting genuinely upset with myself last night because i couldn't answer a prompt in my inbox. and then i got even more upset because i wanted to reblog another prompt! but maybe that's the problem. maybe the biggest issue in the rpc right now, is that we're all locked in this self-imposed cycle of pressure and stress.

i looked back over my old email notifs from tumblr last week. and i saw all the threads i wrote back five years ago, maybe even ten years ago. and my writing was so good back then, you know? like you could TELL i was happy and excited to be writing! the only difference is that i wasn't treating it like a job. i wasn't punishing myself over a lack of interaction. writing is a gift, and we forget that sometimes. writing is also a hobby. and we ALWAYS forget that. we should try to remember it again, i think. we shouldn't be writing while we're unhappy.

anyway this got mega long nonnie, i'm very sorry for the length, but i love you and i'm glad that you're here! unclench your jaw, shake out your arms, and i hope the weekend is as loving as you deserve!

WORDS

❝ your scars are nothing to be ashamed of. ❞

❝ why do you hide your scars? ❞

❝ i see every mark as something to be proud of, proof of all i survived. ❞

❝ can i ask what happened here— how did you get this one? ❞

❝ sometimes i get these phantom pains i guess you could say. little aches and i find them oddly comforting. because my soul still hurts even if my body is healed. ❞

❝ i wish i could get rid of my scars. they’re just reminders of everything i want to forget. ❞

❝ is it alright if i touch this scar? ❞

❝ it’s okay— you can touch it if you want. doesn’t hurt anymore. ❞

❝ please don’t touch it. ❞

❝ you don’t have to tell me how you got it. i just wanted to see. ❞

❝ looks worse than it was. ❞

❝ i want to kill every person responsible for leaving you scarred. ❞

❝ i made sure the people who left marks on me wouldn’t get the chance to do it again. ❞

❝ woah— what the hell happened there? ❞

❝ you don’t have to hide them around me. the scars are just part of who you are. and i like all of what i see. ❞

❝ i don’t really like letting people see them. ❞

❝ it’s okay— honestly i forget they’re there most of the time. ❞
