#everybody is different

Wild how going on gel pretty much fixed my acne issues overnight and drove back The Blood Curse in a way six years of injections could not.

But also people always say black don't crack Asian don't raisin which is all true but a lot of people don't realize a lot of natives age the same lol. People often don't believe me when I say I'm turning 28 this year

We need a saying too but not many words rhyme with indigenous and native lol

Native no aging?

Indigenous ambiguous?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 doesn't exactly roll off the tongue

how do you battle writer’s block? 🧐

now, i don't know if this something normal people do, but my writer's block is usually a result of my rapidly declining mental health, so like to write my journal entries from the perspective of a character. literally, i will just pick a character and write my journal entry. you'd be surprised how much inspiration can come from ranting about being depressed, but it works like a charm every time for me. then, from there, i'll pick a line or two that i feel speaks to the character and i'll work it into a oneshot. sometimes, i don't get that far, though it's still very therapeutic to put my characters in the same situations i'm in or experiencing the same emotions i am because, in some weird sense, it definitely makes me feel less alone; the whole process is cathartic.

it's honesty hour, so ask me anything!

Okay I feel like I need to put this out there: people are attracted to different people. There’s some who understand that with Adam Driver, then there’s this:

(Blocked out names and handles so no one gets harassed by trolls. I ain’t trying to spread hate and negativity over here)

Ummm... people aren’t necessarily attracted to the type of people you’re attracted to? As if all women (as well as men, non-binary, and gender fluid) are supposed to be attracted to the same men as you? Hold up, I’m getting mean and defensive that’s not what my intention was. Let me try to put this nicer...

You’re not attracted to Adam Driver. Cool! If people are trying to convince you that he’s attractive enough for your tastes then those people need to stop. You’re not attracted to him, and that cannot change. Everyone’s genetic makeup and upbringing is different which can factor in to who we’re attracted to.

But when you say you don’t understand why women like myself as well as others are attracted to Adam Driver/Kylo Ren/Ben Solo, I will say this again: we are just attracted to other guys than you. It’s how it is. Some people are just attracted to different guys than you, some are attracted to men, women, or both. Some only have either a sexual or romantic attraction towards people, and there are some who aren’t attracted to anyone at all. I am very sure there’s more to this as sexuality can be very expansive and my brain cannot word all of it, but I’m sure y’all get the idea.

If the person who made the tweet above is reading this, it may be something you are VERY WELL aware of but, possibly out of spite (?), you said something that can be considered ignorant. No shade, just letting you know what I thought when I read it.

Attraction isn’t black and white. It’s a spectrum. Every person is different. The only common thing we have is that we’re all human and that we have those differences.

Saying “I don’t understand how people are attracted to [insert name here]” can create an Us vs Them situation online as if who people are attracted to is black and white. We really need to stop doing that. Look at how much society has divided itself over the past few years alone in general. Try and see how the other side precepts things, and maybe we can find common ground.

TLDR: Everyone doesn’t need to be attracted to Adam Driver or anyone else for that matter, don’t force someone to be attracted to who they’re not, attraction isn’t so black and white, and don’t say “I don’t understand why people are attracted to this person,” it creates an Us vs Them mentality and it needs to stop.

Here’s to everybody that isn’t mean, abusive, bullying or anything in that way. Because even if we’re all human, we’re all different. And that’s good, as long as you don’t hurt other people. I don’t care if you’re gay, lesbian, trans, ace, straight, genderfluid, etc. As long as you don’t hurt other people. 

I don’t care if you’re black, or white, or asian, or latina or anything. As long as you don’t hurt other people.

I don’t care who you are, I love you. I won’t judge you for who you are or who you choose to be. But as soon as you hurt other people, make other people feel bad about themselves or even drive it so far that they kill themselves, don’t expect me to be nice to you. Because the worst thing you can do (in my opinion) is ruin someone elses life.

Developing feelings as a demiromantic

You know what sucks with being demiromantic? You start being really good friends with somebody and you trust each other and both of you are really happy with the close friendship and emotional bond you two have formed. But then it starts. You start feeling this strange, uneasy, feeling in your chest that feels like something is trying to pull you towards your friend from the inside of you. It has happened, out of the blue, you started to feel romantic feelings for them and then sexual feelings and you either accept it and be a very confident and brave human being and ask them out or you try to keep denying it, telling yourself that you are just very good friends and that you love them in a platonic way in the fear of ruining the friendship that you two have established.

Though sometimes you just have to be brave to find happiness. In German we have a saying, “Wer nicht wagt der nicht gewinnt.” which basically translates to “Who doesn’t risk anything can’t win anything”. So, be brave. Ask them out when you feel like it is the right thing to do. I believe in you. And even when you don’t ask them out, sometimes it is best to play save. You can just as much enjoy being around them without dating them. You and your feelings are just as valid.
