So... (all of my text posts probably start with that word... yay for consistency?)
Ah, anyhow...
I'm attempting to fold a thousand cranes... key word being 'attempting'.
Why? Well, to make a wish of course...
At first, when I started making them, I had a selfish goal in mind. Once I made them, however long it took, I was gonna wish for something for myself...
I have a little over fifty cranes folded so far (56 and counting), but at the rate I'm going I'll probably graduate university before I fold all one thousand.
I'll make the wish now though, just in case I can't fold them all...
I wish that if anyone is feeling down, in anyway, if something is bothering them or if they need to let off some steam, that they come to me to vent. Scream at me in my ask box or let out all your frustrations in a submission. If you're all right with me answering publicly, mention it. If not, I'll delete the message if you want (in the case of submissions). However I discourage anonymous questioning simply because I'll be unable to answer privately if needed.
I am deeply saddened that people choose to send hate, anonymous or otherwise... Just because you can hide behind a screen, doesn't mean it doesn't have less of an effect. If anything, it sharpens the blades someone may use to heed your instructions... Receiving hate from people you at least come into contact with is pretty shitty, receiving it from complete strangers is probably worse.
To those that receive hate:
You are amazing, wonderful, and beautiful. You are cherished, you are sacred to your loved ones and friends. You are talented and lovely and absofuckinglutely incredible. Never doubt that you are needed and wanted and loved. People are imperfect, people can be wretched, but that doesn't mean they can't be helpful, kind and caring. I am not the nicest person out there, not in any sense of the word, but I honestly can tell you I that will NEVER send hate to anyone, regardless of their choices, beliefs or what have you.
You are individuals. You are intelligent enough to make your own choices. You are allowed to fuck up. I won't judge, I swear. Just know that I am here in some capacity.
So please... My ask box is always open. I'm in school now, in my juniour year, so I may not be able to get to my inbox right away, but I always check for messages. Always.
