I constantly manipulate everyone around me by calculating what would be the nicest thing to do in any given situation, l making a point of doing it when it matters the most. This is supported by subtly, casually tailoring what I talk about to the person I'm speaking to, and saying what I think they may find funny or interesting. the really sick thing is I look just like a normal person and there's no way you can tell me apart from anyone. If I weren't such a monster I would be afraid knowing people like this are out there, but I know I'm on top and have nothing to fear.

Honestly, y'all, I'm begging you. Take the time to think and learn for yourself. Even if it's just something casual like knitting or cooking. Exercise your brain. It's important.

my ability to read what ive typed out 20 times before hitting post and still not notice a typo is remarkable

it doesn’t have to be good it just has to be done

unfortunate news everyone i'm being told that apparently the only way to get really good at something you haven't tried before is to in fact try

(through gritted teeth) sometimes what's good for your mental health isn't another do nothing day or a little treat sometimes what's good for you is putting in some of the work. Not all of it at once but sometimes you have to finish that essay or at least take the next step or you have to clean your room or at least dust the shelves or you gotta do the laundry or at least put it all in the hamper and it's not fun and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks but you have to because i read a post on the internet that told me that's what being nice to yourself is sometimes

lenore dove resenting maysilee for keeping a canary in a cage, only for the capitol to literally lock haymitch in a gilded cage after his games. he is truly a canary in a coal mine, trying to warn the districts about what really happened to him.

saw someone complain that suzanne collins’ use of “the raven” to repeatedly interrupt the last few pages of the book as haymitch’s life quite literally disintegrates into ash and dust was distracting and annoying—

and to that person i would argue that i personally believe it was a really ominous and tragically beautiful way to represent the absolutely mind-numbing state of grief that haymitch finds himself in post-homecoming and all the way up until the 74th games. during these passages, we get an expedited view of how he has successfully driven everyone away, except for the stubborn, ill-begotten company of his aching loss—his raven.

it’s both poetic and haunting to think that year after year—whether he is in drunken stupor, hungover haze, or painful sobriety—haymitch spends two decades hearing his raven tapping at his chamber door when no one else is left to.

if it's good enough for you, then it deserves to be made. don't let anyone else decide if your story is worth it or not.

Me reading another person's writing: Oh they missed a period there, no worries mistakes happen :) Three adjectives in a sentence? Adverbs for days? No worries I love descriptions and this story is fire.

Me seeing the same thing in my work: Wow am I illiterate? Am I actually ok? Who the actual fuck told me I can write so I can go and curse their entire family for the time it took for me to carefully craft this GARBAGE.
