#craving validation

[lastsecondsquirrel]

As a kid I found comfort in reading. Authors validate characters' experiences and feelings in a way I've never learned to do for myself.

A woman comes home from a bad day, frustrated, and takes a shower to try and relax.

There's no questioning it. She is frustrated. It's on the page. It's real. It's valid. There's no questioning it. The author has stated it and so it is real.

Without someone to tell me otherwise, I just stay convinced when I'm hurt by something that I'm just being too sensitive or too dramatic or too selfish.

When you love and thrive off of praise but also have no idea how to react to it so youre just kinda like 👍

Is your desire to have superpowers because you think they're cool or because you crave having something about you that indisputably gives you value to others?

“you crave the applause, yet hate the attention / then miss it, your act is a ruse” is such a grown up gifted kid mood

Someone. Help. I just made 4 entire comic pages in one weekend and my hands are killing me.

I'm yet again thinking what if I never fell in love and I just wanted to be noticed/receive validation from these people
