Hey girly~~

I'm a writer and blogger recently navigating Tumblr. Sometimes I worry that no one will really care what I have to say, or care about my ideas. What's the best thing to focus on when I feel this way? I think I'm just looking for a little encouragement💗. I hope this makes sense!

hey sweetheart, so sorry i've been extremely inactive. finals have been draining, exhausting, and overwhelming!! i'm almost done, but i wanted to answer your question because it made me sooo freaking happy!!!

this question literally touched my heart because i've been exactly where you are!! that feeling when you pour your thoughts and creativity into your writing, hit post, and then wonder if anyone out there is actually connecting with your words? i completely understand that vulnerable feeling, bestie! 

first of all, i want to say how brave it is to create and share your writing in the first place! putting your thoughts out into the world takes so much courage, and the fact that you're doing it already shows how much passion you have. that's something to be proud of regardless of the notes or reblogs!

when those doubts creep in (and trust me, they visit all of us, even people with thousands of followers!), here are some gentle reminders and perspectives that have helped me create my blog:

1. remember why you started writing

   ✧ was it to process your own thoughts?

   ✧ to connect with others who feel the same way?

   ✧ to create something beautiful?

   ✧ to document your journey?

   returning to your original purpose can be so grounding when the external validation feels uncertain. i keep this in mind whenever i'm planning ideas, writing my posts or even when i feel unmotivated to write a bunch of words onto the tumblr word processor. this generally just helps you focus on the purpose for your blog/writing.

2. focus on quality over quantity

   ✧ one genuine connection with a reader who truly resonates with your words is worth more than hundreds of passive scrollers

   ✧ some of my favorite writers and bloggers have smaller but incredibly devoted followers

   ✧ meaningful engagement > follower count (always!!)

3. celebrate the uniqueness of your voice

   ✧ no one else has your exact perspective, experiences, or way of expressing things

   ✧ the internet doesn't need more people trying to sound like everyone else

   ✧ your specific voice is exactly what someone out there is looking for

   ✧ authenticity always shines through and attracts the right people

4. remember that growth takes time

   ✧ most "overnight successes" actually took years of consistent posting

   ✧ tumblr especially works on connections and community building

   ✧ your words might be quietly collecting in someone's bookmarks even if they haven't engaged yet

   ✧ some of my posts that got almost no notes when first published suddenly found their audience months later!

5. create for yourself first

   ✧ write what brings you joy, healing, or clarity

   ✧ if you're excited about your content, that energy will naturally attract others

   ✧ when you love what you create, external validation becomes a bonus rather than a necessity

   ✧ the posts i'm most proud of aren't always my most popular ones!

   ✧ make sure to utilize aesthetics in your post, ones you enjoy are always a bonus, and it's so fun to design your post according to whatever aesthetic/vibe

6. engage with other writers/bloggers and creators

   ✧ leave thoughtful comments on posts you love

   ✧ reblog with your own additions

   ✧ join writing challenges or community events (example: tag games)

   ✧ respond to asks and messages

   ✧ community building is a two-way street! this is my favorrrrittee part of being a girlblogger.

7. trust the timing of your journey

   ✧ some days will be quiet, others will surprise you with connection

   ✧ consistency matters more than immediate results

   ✧ your words might be exactly what someone needs to read tomorrow, or next month, or next year

i also want to remind you that even the most popular writers and bloggers have moments of doubt! it's part of the creative process to sometimes wonder if what you're making matters. but just know your perspective is inherently valuable. your experiences are worth documenting. your creative expression deserves space in this world.

when i first started my blog, i would sometimes post things that got almost no interaction. but then i'd get a single message from someone saying "this was exactly what i needed to read today" and it would remind me why i started in the first place.

keep nurturing your writer's heart, keep showing up for your creativity, and keep sharing your unique voice with the world. the right readers will find you, i promise. and in the meantime, take pride in the courage it takes to create and share in the first place!

sending you all the creative inspiration and confidence vibes!! hope this helps <3

xoxo, mindy 🤍

Hello!

I am doing a research project on autism representation in the media, and was wondering if you/your followers have any shows/films/books that feature autistic characters? I would also like to include any shows with autism-coded characters! 

(I hope your mother recovers quickly and that you are doing well! I really appreciate this blog and all of the work you put into it. Thank you.)

Thank you!!!

Hi there,

Unfortunately, autism in media can be very inaccurate and even insulting. I heard the show called Extraordinary Attorney Woo is good. That’s all I can think of.

Maybe my followers can share some too?

I hope this helps. Thank you for the submission. I hope you have a wonderful day/night. ♥️

The night has been so cold. Will you, my dear friend L, join me in a cup of tea to warm back up?

Looking at the soul container, all Rasheed could think of was the painful memories. And those memories filled him with sorrow, but what came more than sorrow, was madness. He picked up the container.. Looking at it for a brief moment. There was a short pause in his actions before tossed it into the air. The minute the glass container came down, he kicked it, fiercely, as hard as possible, shattering the glass into pieces.

"........."

He had nothing to say. He hated what had happened that day. He died, he couldn't protect his brother. He couldn't do anything. He was powerless. He let their souls get taken. It let him know that he was a failure as a brother. He failed. This had brought him to rage bent tears as he walked away silently, with no change in expression as he walked away.

First thought

“Oh, hi there, don’t think I’ve met you!”

Nyura lifted her gaze with an arched brow, “Don’t think I’ve met you either.”  She smirked lightly, shrugging.

“Name’s Nyura, you?”

Response to your blog post (Was lengthy reply so had to submit...sorry;;)

Hello! To answer those questions you asked in your most recent post I found your blog via the idol connect tag on tumblr. That’s the tag I would personally think makes the most sense to use but idk Im the kind of person too lazy to add in the asterisk live part lol.

For what parts I think are important to be translated are, at least to start, a general beginners guide sort of thing, giving information to the ins and outs of the game. I found myself confused at first on how to idolize cards and what teams you should use for each song (Im still iffy on that, I’ve been assuming you should use the matching subunit for the song, idk if it lists the song attribute anywhere ;o;) Also stuff like the options menu or how to transfer your data. I was hoping the options menu had an option to make the icons you have to tap a little larger but sadly it doesn’t seem to have such an option, but I know some other ppl might wanna know what the options are without wanting to trial and error random buttons. But yeah I think a ‘how to play the game guide’ is the best way to start with translating a game and then you can move onto storys and character stories and stuff :) But that’s just my personal opinion Im sure there are people who can navigate this game much better than I can and just want to see the story translated…haha. 

Woah. The amount of detail put into this. Thank you!

Hmmm there are some of your questions that can be answered and some that require some looking into. For starters:

You’re right about the intro guide. That’s one of the many WIPS but should hopefully be completed soon. 

Teams are one of the things that need looking into. What I personally do is just put my strongest members/ healers as my team for now since the account is new and in my opinion when a game is new it’s best to just go with the powerful cards and healing cards until you can properly set up teams and play without missing too many notes that and the teams I think look awesome together cause I like watching them dance. But yeah, so far I haven’t seen that the songs have attributes. So for now I think it’s safe to assume that attributes don’t matter. If this idea is proven wrong then it’ll be rectified in a post.

Again, thank you for answering my questions :)
