#it really fucking does

[fushiglow]

how are you doing glo, genuinely?

Oof, bad timing but thanks for checking in, anon ♥ The answer is unfortunately "pretty fucking bad, but a lot better than I was doing at the weekend at least". I have a lot of very stressful things going on right now, some of which I anticipated and some of which I very much did not.

Life wisdom from fushiglow: get everything in writing always. It's a cliché but with good reason. Document anything and everything that you have even the slightest inkling could create problems for you in the future, and log it with the relevant person. If someone refuses to provide something you've asked for in writing, make sure that's documented, too!

Being able to produce a timeline of written evidence to support your position when shit hits the fan is always worth the extra time and effort, especially if you're more at risk of discrimination and especially when everyone else hasn't been as diligent about their record keeping.

(It also makes you feel like god when the people who have wronged you start visibly panicking before your very eyes, but that's not the point.)

Get things in writing, folks!

Recently I got commissioned by a return client and they noticed my price went up. They asked “why?”. We have a somewhat professional and acquittance relationship and we know each other and I know he got it. The company work he does also he has backing so it ain’t hurting his pockets. I said “ it’s been 2-3 months since we’ve last worked together. Your paying for what growth that has come in those 2-3 months.” He laughed and said “ I’m proud of you.” I ain’t gon lie I got tears in my eye. He’s the guy who helped me get jobs and was my friend since moving somewhere where I didn’t know anybody.

I hate the term "ex-fp" because it implies that there was once I time I loved you and that idea repulses me

And I was lonely.

A lonely 15 year old who just wanted someone to love her like they did in the movies.

So I wrote you into existence, and you weren’t perfect, but I didn’t want you to be. 

Now I’m 22. And I can only look at you with sadness, because I was so alone that I made you. And despite my words being the only way you were alive, I wrote that you left me in the end. Because I couldn’t imagine anyone staying. 

And that breaks my heart.

do you sometimes remember that supernatural, a show that started in 2005 as a weekly episodic about two Young and American monster-hunting Brothers, scouring the USA, trying to find their Manly Dad and avenge their apple-pie Mythological Mom with Guns and Old Car and Old Music turned into a story about two men falling in love with each other and subsequently defying and killing god, because their gay love for each other was actually the one real and true act of free will in all of the multiverses? because I just remembered and that just. feels so good.

people kept telling me not to cut my hair but I've never gotten as many compliments on my hair as I do now that it's short
