𝑴𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒚, 13𝒕𝒉 𝒅𝒆𝒄• 3/5 exams done! I have been spending my days studying mostly, long yeeting and radio sesh with knives, waiting for Polaroid love to come out and laughing with an old friend who came alive a while ago. it's almost half of December and I gave up on processing it but I can't help to feel anxious and excited to see what waits for me. it will be good.

you’re going to love again, find a job again, create art again, do what you love again, feel powerful again. you’re going to be back on track. i don’t know when, but you are going to feel like yourself again, eventually. this isn’t the end. hang in there.

I wasn’t expecting you. I didn’t think that we would end up together. The single most extraordinary thing I’ve ever done with my life is falling in love with you. I’ve never been seen so completely, loved so passionately, protected so fiercely. When I look in your eyes, I see my home. I see eternity. And no matter what may come our way, I promise that I’ll always choose you. I love you.

At first the Bella Thorne situation was like well, it's not a huge deal, but it is problematic because she's:

1. potentially taking away money from other sex workers

2. treating sex work like a science experiment

3. profiting, but not facing the repercussions that real sex workers face (yes "real" because she's not a real sex worker)

5. She's done nothing to show support for decrim or marginalized groups of Sex workers

But NOW that she revealed she's not actually going to be nude, TONS of people are demanding money back and now OnlyFans is capping PPV messages at $50 and tips per post at $100

So the whole thing happened because she's going to be in a movie about an online SW or something and she wanted the "full experience"

She even tweeted something about someone saying "how far are you willing to take it"

But the thing is sex work isn't a joke.

Sex workers are incarcerated for just doing their jobs

Sex workers are killed for doing their jobs

Sex workers are denied other jobs because of being an SW

Sex workers face real and serious consequences every day and Bella Thorne is not going to get "the full experience " just because she made an OF account. And now WE are facing the repercussions for this stupid stunt.

I get that she probably didn't mean any harm, but when you act without doing any research and other people have to deal with the backlash because of your incompetence and ignorance....that sucks.

The least she could do is donate that money to Sex Workers in need or to help fight for decrim. Sorry this isnt super eloquent. I'm very upset.

westerners are obsessed with the idea of happiness as if it’s a constant state of being. happiness comes in moments. you dont “achieve” happiness. you experience it along with every other emotion on the spectrum. if you spend your life chasing this constructed idea of happiness you will never even be remotely content. work on being whole and feeling everything while increasing the happy moments. stop trying to be a “happy person.” just be a person.

i honestly believe human beings are not meant to live like this. we are meant to live in loving communities and be around nature every day and grow our own food and create art and not work day and night until we die. this longing for another life is not human nature, it’s a symptom of modern society.

[t-stride]

we are meant to share burdens, collaborate, create. art is part of the human experience, but it’s also part of the human species. the fact that we are not all living comfortably in communities of support and love and creation and song is the greatest sin of mankind. you’re telling me that the pursuit of wealth, an invented idea born of artificial scarcity enforced by the artificial idea of class, is the ultimate expression of humanity? how unimaginative. don’t you dream? I invite you to dream with me.

sometimes u just gotta say “okey dokey” and just like.. rely on urself.. take things as impersonally as u can.. love and let go.. move on.. try and find all the good things, soak those in. and that’s all u can do! and sometimes, that’s enough

some people would argue that all love is a choice. and the idea that love involves a series of choices is an old concept. but know that it applies to platonic relationships as well as romantic. you have the choice to decide if the traits your friend has are traits you can accept. you have the choice to decide if you want to work on communication and developing boundaries with a friend. you have the choice to let a friend or a lover go if you’ve had a bad argument. you have the choice to accept or decline an apology. and it’s a choice whether or not you walkaway when someone refuses to apologize. a reminder: you yourself can be the toxic party if you say you want to move forward with a friend/lover but you’re constantly reminding them of things you don’t like that they’ve done..or you’re constantly critiquing their personality... choosing to stay is a big decision and a commitment and it’s work. but it’s still a choice. one that you constantly make. and at any time you can change your decision. it’s freeing and it’s scary. all we can do is try our best to choose wisely.

Reincarnation is definitely real, and everyone is born with a message in their mind from their past life.

03.07.20 / happy friday my friends ♡ i’m back to writing and outlining today. i revisited my theme mind map now that i’m getting ready to do my first edit. i also began listing all the tasks i need to do for my 3rd wip. the first page of all my wip journals starts with the list of planning tasks i need to do before beginning the writing process. i highly recommend it for people like me who love to plan and strategize!!

It’s okay to get anxious. It’s okay to make mistakes. You don’t need to beat yourself up. You can forgive yourself.

my dad–also a writer–came to visit, and i mentioned that the best thing to come out of the layoff is that i’m writing again. he asked what i was writing about, and i said what i always do: “oh, just fanfic,” which is code for “let’s not look at this too deeply because i’m basically just making action figures kiss in text form” and “this awkward follow-up question is exactly why i don’t call myself a writer in public.”

he said, “you have to stop doing that.”

“i know, i know,” because it’s even more embarrassing to be embarrassed about writing fanfic, considering how many posts i’ve reblogged in its defense.

but i misunderstood his original question: “fanfic is just the genre. i asked what you’re writing about.” 

i did the conversational equivalent of a spinning wheel cursor for at least a minute. i started peeling back the setting and the characters, the fic challenge and the specific episode the story jumps off from, and it was one of those slow-dawning light bulb moments. “i’m writing about loneliness, and who we are in the absence of purpose.”

as, i imagine, are a lot of people right now, who probably also don’t realize they’re writing an existential diary in the guise of getting television characters to fuck. 

“that’s what you’re writing. the rest is just how you get there, and how you get it out into the world. was richard iii really about richard the third? would shakespeare have gotten as many people to see it if it wasn’t a story they knew?”

so, my friends: what are you writing about?
