Close the door. Write with no one looking over your shoulder. Don’t try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It’s the one and only thing you have to offer.

girl, your competition isn’t other people
it’s your bad habits ⋆ your distractions ⋆ your insecurities ⋆ your lack of discipline ⋆ your procrastination ⋆ your ego ⋆ your fears ⋆ your broken routine ⋆ your addictions ⋆ the person you don't want to be anymore
“Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.”
— Vincent Van Gogh
“If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.”

in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD
instead ask:
is it SINCERE
was it CATHARTIC
was it FUN TO MAKE
is it MADE BY ME
and don't forget to stay silly
Writing Prompt #4012
"Don't you think that you're getting a little too old for all this?"
"Sorry, Mom. I forgot that I'm court-ordered to lose a sense of whimsy and joy to be considered a real adult."
I am writing because they told me to never start a sentence with because. But I wasn't trying to make a sentence—I was trying to break free. Because freedom, I am told, is nothing but the distance between the hunter and its prey.

Poem from mwah (it’s angsty, I’m js a girl)
Apartment Nook
This room to grow has felt abridged
This unit to play has become a minefield
This hall to dance has shattered portraits
This apartment to be, has fallen pitifully
Where do you stand
Door 17A holds assault assailants behind oak doors
Door 21B cares nothing for the children’s future, they beat past hardship into dreamy eyes
Door 3C cradles the shadows as if it weren’t conjured by the light, poor thing, you’d think they’d know not to follow false gods
Door 14B calls to jester for companionship, everyone knows once the food is gone so is the crowd
I reel in my place. I shout. I whisper. I decline. I accept. I plead. I cry. I wallow. I pray. I hope. I laugh. I antagonize. I project. I presume. I inject. I want. I fail. I want. I belittle. I reject. I want. I neglect. I deny. I laugh. I cope. I forget. I love. I forget. I remember. I dream. I want.
Where do I stand
Where have you planted me
What should I do
Curious as it may be, I have no idea what happens next
They say you are a god of your own life. That God-like force runs through every fiber of your being.
I’ve only ever known God to be the visitor in my unit

Help Mohamad reunite his family ❤️🙏
I am reaching out on behalf of my dear friend, Mohamad S., who is facing one of the most challenging times of his life. Mohamad is 37 years old and left his homeland in 2015 in search of a safer and better future. He’s a kind, hardworking man, and his small family has always been his greatest priority.
Living abroad, Mohamad has recently endured unimaginable loss and financial strain. Amidst the ongoing conflict in his homeland, his mother passed away, leaving behind his sister and her five young children—the last remaining members of his immediate family.
As the situation worsened, Mohamad managed to help his sister and her children escape to safety in Egypt, covering their immediate needs and securing a temporary refuge for them. Since then, he has been fully responsible for providing everything they need to survive during this transition.
In his efforts to support his family and cope with this devastating loss, Mohamad has found himself deeply in debt. To make matters even more difficult, he recently underwent knee surgery, which limits his ability to return to work for the foreseeable future. This has made it even harder for him to manage his financial responsibilities and the pressing need to provide his family with a stable future.
Mohamad is now working to bring his sister and her five children to join him in Belgium, where he hopes they can find stability and opportunity after all they’ve endured. This transition, however, requires significant resources that he is currently unable to meet alone.
For privacy reasons, we are not sharing Mohamad’s full name, as he has chosen to keep his identity discreet. While he initially refused the idea of asking for help, I couldn’t stand by and watch him struggle alone. I insisted on doing this for him because he deserves a chance to overcome these challenges. Your contribution 💪 will help Mohamad repay the debt incurred during this difficult time, cover ongoing living expenses for his family, and assist with the costs involved in bringing them safely to Belgium.
Mohamad has been a good friend of mine for years, and I’ve always admired his resilience and generosity. Any support, no matter the size, will make an incredible difference in helping Mohamad and his family rebuild their lives after these painful experiences.
Thank you for reading his story and considering helping a man who has always done everything he can for his loved ones. 🙏

The difference between joyful creation and egoic creation. I watched a video by Eckhart Tolle called 'Who Becomes Enlightened?' On YouTube.
I was and am navigating what it means to be a soul but having human needs/wants. The feeling of desire kept feeling like lack to me. Like I was holding up a sign to the stars shouting "I WANT MORE! WHAT YOU'VE GIVEN ME ISN'T ENOUGH!"
But the issue isn't desire or superficial gain or being unsatisfied, it's the return. You've manifested and it worked so now what?
I feel like consumerism taught us to be greedy in a way- so when we enter this world of self we realize we get as much as we give. And sometimes that means satisfaction and tranquility, that's okay. It’s okay to not want things. To be satisfied.
Don't let the 3d fool you into wanting something if it doesn't truly bring joy. If what we want is joy and love that's what we give back. (All this to say someone pls help me figure out tangible things I can do to give back/ give gratitude to the Universe) Idk guys, all ik is that Eckhart is a national treasure and red lobster biscuits are fye.
Also learning to use social media for my gain not just brain rot📱🫂.
