I am a freelance writer. I also write fiction and poetry. Sometimes my work gets published. I post anything that catches my eye or my mind, or inspires me. This blog is inconsistent because inspirations constantly change.

Do you like game of thrones ?

I do, however I did not enjoy the immense character-shift George R. R. Martin decided on in A Feast for Crows, nor the suddenly slow, plodding pace that he set in that novel, and so I probably won't be following the new season.

fun tip:

anxiety is not cured by forcing a person into the situation that makes them anxious

Actually, according to psychology, it is.

Exposure therapy is one of the most popular and successful therapies for anxiety sufferers. People with anxiety tend to avoid situations that make them anxious, thus leading to them never overcoming the source of their fear. Exposure therapy allows the sufferer to gradually gain control, lessening the impact of, and desensitizing them to the fear and allowing them to overcome it. Of course, this could be taken out of context and used in an extreme (and, since this is Tumblr, if the wrong person reads this response, it will surely be done) but spreading this type of misinformation and making younger people believe that avoiding anxieties instead of  learning to cope with and overcome them is foolish and harmful.

Avoiding the source of your anxiety is not a cure for anxiety.

Your art is beautifully disturbing and I'm inspired. *thumbs up*

Thank you, however none of the art I post is my own work—each piece is tagged with the artist’s name, and the title of the artwork.

do you like gays? :>

I don't believe I understand your intended question.

If you're asking whether I am attracted to men: no, I am not.

If you're asking whether I have gay friends: yes, I do.
