[our-queer-experience]

For various reasons I'm rather new to romantic attraction

I've got a crush on this cute guy in the only friend group I've got irl lol

Good news: he's gay! We're in the clear!

Bad news: he's into one of the other guys in the friend group and I'm his confidant :(

Fuck! Augh!!!

Happy new year though !! Best start to a year I think I've ever had!

-☄️

anon, i’m in the same situation! i have a massive crush on this guy who keeps telling me about who he likes- someone who lives in another country and comes visits once a year. it’s hell :( happy new year to you, too!

Ask game - freefall!

☄️

Four gripped his arms tightly around Sky’s chest as they raced through the darkened sky, rain stinging his face and making the red feathers beneath him slippery to the touch.

“They’re gaining on us!” he yelled over the wind, watching the creatures Sky had called skytails continue to streak towards them.

One suddenly reared up behind them and crashed into the side of Sky’s loftwing, the jolt causing Four’s hands to slip from Sky’s waist and send him straight into a dizzying freefall.

Hey, it's me again, 🌠 anon :)

You're most welcome 😄

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question 💕 I am yet to get to reading anything from the Grishaverse (it's on my growing TBR list though, and I've only heard amazing things about it)

I wish you all the very best with getting back into reading!! I completely understand the need to have the right head space for reading after a drought.

Thank you 💙💙 I appreciate the advise/resources. I'll try to ease myself back into writing slowly.

Your words of encouragement mean a lot to me. On the contrary, I don't have any expectations for myself. I'm afraid of trying to commit to having a writeblr of any sorts cause I don't see myself as worthy of having one. It sounds silly at times but I have a lot of anxiety surrounding the idea.

Hearing you speak about your own experiences is a great source of inspiration. Hopefully in time I am able to overcome my personal hurdles and join in for the fun and experience of it!

Thank you so much for everything. You're amazing 💙💙

Talk to you soon, good night/day!

Hey 🌠anon, here’s a secret: 

I don’t think I’m worthy of having a writeblr either.

I really don’t write a whole lot, I don’t know much about writing, all my projects are woefully underdeveloped and I’m terrible at talking about them, and not only do I consider myself a mediocre writer, I don’t write enough to have anything to share. At this point most of my blog is my queue reblogging writing memes, and I feel like I’m copping out because I don’t post that often. I take long hiatuses because I burn out, and then I come crawling back, try to be better, and I don’t do better. My blog is nothing like I want it to be either, I wish a lot of things were different.

And yet I run a writeblr regardless. Because I enjoy it! And despite considering myself unworthy to run a writeblr, people have seemed to either not notice or not care. Somehow, despite everything, I’ve become relatively established in this community.

I get it. I empathize with your anxiety. I know you know this, but let me reiterate it just one more time.

Writeblr is all about you wanting to be a part of it. It’s not about whether you’re worthy or not, it’s not about whether you feel like you have something to offer, it’s not even about your projects or the interactions you may or may not make.

It’s all about wanting to have a writeblr. That’s it! No other qualifications needed. And you are absolutely worthy of it, no matter what your anxiety says! I already consider you a part of the community, anywho :)

If I can be the biggest imposter in the writeblr community and somehow get away with it, it means that none of it really matters in the end except wanting to make one for yourself.

Take your time getting back into writing and creating a writeblr. Be kind to yourself. Your writing and I will always be here for you whenever your ready! (And if you decide not to, that’s okay too!)

Good luck, I believe in you 💙💙💙

Meteor anon here with a bittersweet update!

I sent the last ask at an overnight new years party that both he and the guy he has a crush on were at. After having a really good time (when I tell you they were up literally all night talking lmaooo) he confessed and they're gonna get together. I'm really happy for him ! But also a bit sad for me as I hate being a third wheel and out of the friend group those two are my favorite ppl. Not too torn up about it romantically, I know he doesn't like me back, but it's a bit sad.

Alas, c'est la vie I suppose! -☄️

Hey. It's me again, 🌠 anon :) I hope that you are having a good day or night ✨

I have been spending some time off of socials so I didn't see your response to my last ask until just now.

Your encouraging and kind words made me emotional. As someone who struggles with my anxiety and self-worth, it was... wow. You have no idea how much your message meant to me. I feel inspired and motivated to write again after so long.

You're an amazing person. And I want to say thank you from all of the corners of my heart. I have so much thoughts running around in my head right now, but I can't seem to find the words. Thanks for everything 💛💛

You saying that you consider me to be a part of the writing community made my night. I'll stay in touch. Take care!

Hey  🌠 anon! Good to see you again. 

Taking a social media break is a really great idea. I hope that you were able to refresh and recharge after disconnecting! You might already know this, but I just wanted to point it out since I know it can be a pain to try to find my responses: I’ll always tag your posts with #meteor anon. You can either follow that tag, or go to that link to see whether I responded or not.

I’m really glad that I was able to help you! I can’t do much besides share my own insecurities, but if that’s helpful in any way shape or form, I’m always willing to talk about it. I know that the world can seem like a very scary place, so I hope that I’m able to offer some sort of respite for it 💙

I’m so happy to hear that you’re feeling inspired and motivated to write again! After a really long creative drought, it can be so hard to jump back in and find your bearings again, but I hope that you’re able to keep it cultivated and rediscover the joy of writing.

You are far too kind, and I’m looking forward to getting your next ask! Keep me updated — I’m rooting for you~

Hey!! ♡

I think that your blog is amazing, you're such a wonderful presence on my dash, thank you for everything that you do ✨

What's your favourite book/s? [sorry for the super generic question]

I haven't had the focus to write since the start of this year for multiple reasons and sometimes I feel as if I'll never get back into it or never get the chance to start the writeblr I always wanted to. You don't have to say anything to this, I just wanted to share my thoughts.

Take care of yourself!!

P.S. Is it okay I be your 🌠 anon?

Hello! You absolutely can be my 🌠 anon! I actually seriously love the concept of regular anons with an anon alias, so I was super excited to see this.

And thank you so much, you are so sweet!

I have been in an extreme reading drought since middle school, and I admittedly have not read that many books in the past... 10 years. I managed to break that and water my crops a bit by reading the Grishaverse after being yelled at by many writeblr mutuals to check it out, so it’ll definitely have to be that! (Specifically Crooked Kingdom!). 

Besides that, the only other books that I’ve read were for school. My partner got me a couple books for Christmas though that looked really good, and I’m hoping to have the brainspace and motivation to jump into them over spring break. I am very slowly trying to ease myself back into reading again.

When it comes to getting back into writing, my best advice is always to lower your expectations. Here is a post that goes more deeply into that, and here is yet another one. Here is also some advice of mine about finding inspiration. Maybe these will help?

This also goes for Writeblr! You don’t have to be actively writing something to have a writeblr blog. I certainly wasn’t when I first got started, and it’s still questionable whether I actually write or not. And in terms of “starting the writeblr I always wanted to”, that kind of sounds like you have high expectations for it that maybe is making it a bit intimidating to tackle?

Chances are, your writeblr isn’t going to be the blog of your dreams. Mine certainly isn’t the blog of my dreams — I’m as far away from my personal writeblr goals and what I want this blog to be as I possibly can be. This isn’t what I envisioned or wanted for my blog... And that’s okay. It can be really frustrated or demoralizing, but what matters is that I am here, and I’m having fun! It’s okay that I don’t have projects to talk about a lot, or a lot of writing to share. I’m here because I enjoy being here, and I think that’s what is the most important.

Good luck, you can do it!

Sleepover Sunday: It’s not Sunday, but come chat with me anyways!
