what’s your problem?

gifted kid burnout™

you haven't finished a book in weeks, months, maybe even years. that feeling hurts. you feel useless, average, stupid. your grades took a nosedive because you simply didn't care and yet you care so much. you care so much it burns, eats you up inside, because you can't stop caring. not about grades, not about your skills, not about your looks, not about those people you should have forgotten a long time ago. you're stuck in a cycle of desperately needing to achieve, to be the best, and you, quite simply, aren't anymore. but, darling, that's okay. hey, chin up. you don't have to be the best. i know that sounds like bullshit when your whole childhood was top of the class, straight a's, effortless passes, but i swear to you, it doesn't matter. that realisation hurts, but it doesn't matter. being the best is bullshit. all you need to be is you. that is enough. that is more than enough. believe me, you don't have to change the world. you already have. now give yourself a break. stop taking quizzes or scrolling though tumblr, i know you're procrastinting, and that's okay. but go outside. get something to eat. drink some water. look after yourself and most importantly, be you.

GO GROCERY SHOPPING TO FIND OUT WHAT LIMINAL SPACE YOU ARE

highway rest area

you've got a purpose in life and you will not be swayed. things may seem a little bleak at times, but it's alright. you know where you came from and you know where you're going and time will probably continue when you walk away, yeah? probably nothing to worry about? dont stay here too long. this is a resting place. you need to move on. you need to move on!

She had never stopped to imagine that the end would feel so hollow.

ENOUGH of the hero’s journey monomyth gig. let’s have stories that are descents with no ascents in the second half. just. submerging deeper and deeper into the underworld. slow-built terror. the climax IS the close. strange, strange stories

“Sleep well. I’ll most likely kill you in the morning.”

The Princess Bride {Sentence Starters}

     ... WHICH WAS exactly the last thing he wanted to hear while laying on a bed, wounded in the legs, too dizzy and weakened by blood loss and hours spent lying on the grass. If in any other situation those words would have sounded ominous but still avoidable, now they felt like some a real death sentence.

     The click of the door didn’t make him feel any better.

     Well, he doubted they’d actually go and keep their promise - it sounded more like some sentence thrown with the exact intent to give him a sleepless night but-     Shit.

     It seemed that he was really going to lose too many hours of sleep again.

Bold for what applies totally to your muse, italic for what applies in some circumstances/some verses (or for what applies but your muse wouldn’t like to admit it). Repost!

THE SNOW QUEEN

brand new snow boots. the boy next door. windowsill flowers. skating on the pond. the beauty of a snowflake. a sharp pain in your eye. a broken mirror. frosted windows. a sudden difference in a loved one. ice-cold lips upon your forehead. a pale hand against the glass. frozen flowers. the depths of midwinter. offering a sacrifice. deep, cold water. a flower garden. an unexplainable feeling of something being missing. dreaming of love. soft silk, summer air. desperate escape from a castle. a friendly raven. autumn leaves falling all around you. a knife pressed against your cheek. running for your life as time runs out. northern lights gleaming overhead. an impossible puzzle to decipher. winter passing, to become spring. seeing the world through whole new eyes.

SNOW WHITE

desperately longing for a child. a drop of blood in the snow. a heartfelt wish. loss of a mother at a very young age. uncertainty and foreboding at a grand occasion. sweet singing echoing around castle walls. white doves. a terrible enemy in the guise of a friend or family member. hair as black as ebony. skin as white as snow. lips as red as blood. a practitioner of darker magic. bitter vanity. an arrow in the dark. the heart of a deer. running terrified into a dark forest. depending on the kindness of strangers. a magic mirror. an apple fallen from a pale hand. a slumber like death. a glass coffin in the middle of a wood. all the king’s horses, all the king’s men. true love’s first kiss. the sense of contentment that comes with justice having been served to a terrible person.

CINDERELLA

a blessed childhood. a kindly heart. little mice in the walls. bluebirds. sweet and pleasant dreaming. a lifetime of scorn from your own family. being treated like a servant. invitation to a fabulous ball. barely daring to be excited. a gown ripped to shreds. crying in the courtyard. white horses. a lizard in the grass. coach and footmen. glass slippers. eyes meeting across a crowded room. the first dance with the one you love. your heart feeling like it is bursting with joy. walking arm in arm with a beloved one. a wonderful evening. the first blossom of love. the stroke of midnight. a desperate rush to be home. a secret underneath a loose floorboard. smashed glass, hopes shattered. the happiness that comes with finally having been seen for whom you truly are.

THE LITTLE MERMAID

the shimmering ocean floor. brilliant blooming coral. fish with bright and shiny scales. the figurehead of a ship. sea-spray striking your face. the wind rustling in your hair on the top deck. a violent and vigorous thunderstorm. heart pounding with mingled terror and excitement. strange ripples on the water’s surface. love at first sight. a desperate bargain struck. your legs trembling as you try to walk. a terrible ache in your feet like blades with every step you take. the softness of the sand. an unrequited longing. the heartbreak that comes with seeing the one you love walking arm in arm with another. a blade held tightly in your hand. a kiss pressed to your sleeping lover’s forehead. loving another more than you love yourself. unbearable suffering. sea-foam drifting on the surface of the ocean.

RAPUNZEL

a desperate craving for something which cannot be satisfied by anything else. being caught in the act of doing something criminal. making a bargain for the sake of another person’s welfare. a tall stone tower in the center of a forest. sweet singing from a window far above you. gently running a brush through your long hair. an unexpected visitor in the middle of the night. the bittersweet joy that comes with experiencing tenderness that you have never known before. cruel eyes watching from the shadows. pleading for another’s life.breaking the rules in order to prevent something terrible from happening, even though you’re frightened. finding someone beloved and long thought lost, and holding them tightly. your hand clasped tightly in the hand of another. knowing that you’re safe at last, as long as you’re together.
