Best of Twitch Chat: Caduceus’ Cautionary Chronicle

[pigmenting]

there’s a whole lot of life left to live. a lot more art to make. a lot more love to give. a lot more oceans to see.

[luckystarchild]

Yeah, you don’t wanna look in there, promise.

This is my fave Noel fielding story ever in the world

I don’t even know who this is but he’s fabulous

I never really talked about it here, but earlier this year I started dating one of my close friends. At the beginning of last month he broke up with me. I fell in love with him, and due to some mental health issues on his side, he discovered that he didn't have the capacity to work on himself (after 10+years of dealing with things on his own) while also being in a serious relationship. He has also, apparently, decided that he never wants a serious relationship ever again.

Its been a month and a half and I'm still not okay. I've never been this kind of sad, and I don't know how to get passed it. I (and he, right up until the end of it all) saw a future together. We had started making plans together for pretty far in the future. Things like moving to a new city together while I do my masters degree and going to a friend's wedding. And then it all abruptly came to an end.

I've always been someone who enjoys looking towards the future to some extent. I've always enjoyed making plans. He did not. He always said that the plans he tried to make always seemed to fall apart. But then he started being willing to make plans with me. And I thought that we would see them through. But now... I hate looking forward right now. The fact that all these things I thought I would be doing with him now have to be done by myself is excruciating.

It took nearly 25 years for me to find someone who cared about me the way that he did. It took nearly 25 years for me to find someone that it felt right to be with and felt right to love. And that's gone. I don't know how to move forward enough to even have a chance at that again. I don't think I can handle waiting that long for something again.

We're still friends. We're figuring out what our friendship looks like now. But we aren't talking anywhere near as much as we used to. I feel like he's doing some really big, life-changing things right now, and he doesn't even think to tell me about them, even though he would have while we were together. And even though I know he still cares about me to some degree, I feel like I'm an afterthought for him, now. And it hurts.

I'm sorry if this is more personal than you would expect to read from me. I just... Needed a place to let it out. Feel free to ignore.

The one thing I will miss about living here in the summer: these kinds of cuddles. I love him more than most humans. https://www.instagram.com/p/CAnsF15Acty/?igshid=gvxd925b4lx8

[ankle-beez]

you ever think about how fma had the only valid canon f/m relationship in anime

[ankle-beez]

these two are unparalleled. hell yea give me a strong relationship where both parties can grow together AND apart as people but also care deeply for the other and would not be the same without them by their side. I eat that shit up when done well

Listen I wrote an entire ass novel where the protagonist is "literally me, but she has better hair and a motorcycle" and nobody stopped me so if you needed permission to go and just do whatever you can consider this your permission

[jisungjuice]

you ever start rereading your WIP to get in the mood and write more and you get so caught up that when you get to the end you’re like “bitch? where’s the rest?” and you realize you’re the bitch and you have to write it

Hello Writeblr

It’s been a hot minute since my blog has actually been a blog about writing. I’m not really working on anything at the moment, but I miss this community. Hit me up if you wanna talk writing things :)

An innocent soul on the Internet: "Oh, you write? What's your story about?"
