completely forgot about my WIP blog but come fall/winter aka my hermit time, i will be trying my best to stay on there to encourage myself to stay focused on my project!

I will be working on a Black sapphic romance novel, most likely on the romcom side (with some sprinklings of serious subject matter). If you are interested or are a writer of those things, please join me if you’d like. I’d love to develop a trusted writers circle so I can better my writing skills. I don’t have a scholarly background and I am working on the practice makes progress thing 😅 (that may or may not be a nod to an old fic of mine hehe).

Anyways it’s www.tumblr.com/unquenchedequestrian

Don’t lose yourself in someone else.

Don’t love someone to the point of forgetting to love yourself . Don’t compare yourself to others to the point of not being able to distinguish between the two. Don’t make people laugh at the expense of your happiness. Don’t try to become something or someone that you are not - if they didn’t like you yesterday they will not like you tomorrow. And that’s okay, there will always be another .

Go read an old fic.

There's such recency bias in fandom. As an author you post something, get a few reactions, and then it goes off into the bin. As a reader you check the tags, see what's new, and move on. But a lot of old stuff is really good. It's just sitting there, gathering dust, waiting for someone to take a peek.

So go on. Treat yourself.

Read an old fic.

One Sun, One Shadow by Shane Lavalette

Five years ago, photographer Shane Lavalette was commissioned by the High Museum of Art in Atlanta to produce brand new photographs of the south, through his eyes, for their 2012 exhibition: Picturing the South.

Many of its images became part of Lavalette’s larger project-turned-monograph, One Sun, One Shadow, released in 2016. Highlighting the south’s elegant stillness and beauty, the book reflects a deep seeing and visual meditation into the essence of this region.

🀄️reflecting on richonne

One thing about Rick and Michonne - they did not split up if they didn’t have to. I love noticing how often they paired up and stuck together, especially pre-canon. And I also found it interesting the averse reaction they had whenever they did have to part. This “Richonne = magnets” stuff is just scientific fact. 😋

found an old therapy note from last year where i said i was ready for the possibility and reality of love and/or heartbreak and i am experiencing both now. amidst the pain and sadness, i think i will come out of this proud of the fact that in all of my years of believing and nearly accepting that that kind of love just wasn’t for me, i chose to believe it was for me, and then i got the chance to give and receive that love. it took A LOT of work to be able to do that, and it was the focus of many therapy sessions leading up to dating again, so i guess it’s paying off? lol

the relationship didn’t last, and i am struggling real bad with the fact that i feel like i still had so much to give (and receive, which i know deep down i deserve!) and a lot to learn about that one person in particular, but it didn’t matter. they didn’t feel the same, and that’s ok. initially i struggled to understand how someone can really love me if they’re so quick to leave, but i realized that i really do put myself out there. i don’t share much with people i don’t trust, so when it comes to the close relationships i have or am working on building, i do everything i can to be as open and trusting as possible. i am loveable because i try and do put my full self out there to be loved. the leaving part had nothing to do with them loving me or not, but it’s still hard to accept.

i show up and maybe that’s a bit scary sometimes, and i’ve even accepted that even the right person might get scared, but maybe that’s not true... maybe the right person will see me for me, see my heart, my personality, my beauty, my fears, and not be scared or intimidated… maybe they’ll be ready and excited to love me. i think i deserve to experience that. i think i deserve someone that wants to grow and change with me, and sees how i can love them present, past and future. maybe that’s ok to desire. not asking for perfection, just want somebody that sees all of me, i see all of them (and i’m gonna see, that’s just how i am!!!), and we love and accept each other as is, and be brave in our acceptance. so much of me is the same but i am also constantly changing, and i want to experience change with somebody. that can be scary and not always the best, but i still believe there can be a beautiful bond in that.

anyways, yesterday would have made 3 months and i didn’t even realize until late last night. i’m scared and sad to slowly drift apart from her, with the necessary space between us. i’m anxious af. as the dumpee, it almost felt insulting to here that i deserved better and someone that was a better fit. i hope with time, i can understand that and believe it again. i’m nowhere near ready to wish the same for her in all honesty. i think that’s ok and doesn’t make me evil. and i’m learning that it’s ok to be mad and upset despite my acceptance of her decision to end things. she said i was easy to love, and although i did everything i could to make myself easy to love when i felt i might be a bit difficult to love, i wanna believe this to be true. in fact, i am surrounded by love everyday. i know it’s not romantic love but at least i’ve got the people closest to me to count on. i have so much gratitude for them and i thank them constantly. we lean on and hold each other up.

hopefully i can provide myself with some happier and lighter updates on here over time (*cough* long overdue fic update *cough*). already got a therapist locked and loaded, submitted my adhd assessment (which my therapist specializes in 🤞🏾), and i’ve got a new hobby in the works. i still have my writing projects to tend to, and i hope i can rekindle my love for romance and smut in this aftermath of heartbreak and yearning for something i could not get. i know that when i’m able to write about love again, i’ll be in a place to remember the feeling of love without getting stuck in the memory/experience. i’m looking forward to that very much.
