sorry for romanticising the mundane. i have little else

I miss this place but it doesn’t have the hold on me that it use to. I was young and angsty and full of deep feelings and in a sense I used this as my diary but now….. I’m older and everything feels not as intense anymore and idk how to make use of this place sigh I still read but I work in healthcare and I’m always tired all the damn time so I can’t be creative anymore I miss creating things: fics/stories …book edits… film/tv gifsets…. art. I used to have so much time to waste and I miss that.

Oh well I’ll keep trying to come back but who knows

The best part of being authentic is that there is no image to maintain. You will delight some and disturb others, and none of it will concern the truth of your being.
