#I Can Do This!

[redmarkerstudent]

Picked up my drawing tablet for the first time in months, and, of course, the first thing I draw is Choromatsu...

Look at this duuuude. Why is he standing like that. Is he cold why did he hide his hands in his pockets. Someone come kill this guy

So!

My father let me take the boat out on my first solo camping trip using the boat. Before I had been going to Sand Island where there is a shuttle to take you to and from the island. This is my first time taking the boat out completely on my own!!

Docking went well! Very well I was shocked and nervous about it. Some very lovely people helped me out. Set up my tent! Now i’m chilling in my tent.

Well i’m sitting here enjoying it all and I think “man! The bathrooms must be really bad if I can smell them from my tent!”

Folks

It’s not the bathrooms, it’s just me. I’m stinky

Guys, cross your fingers that I don't accidentally set my apartment on fire 🤞

I'm trying the washer/dryer combo machine for the first time.

I suffer from anxiety. Not as bad as some people have it, but it's there. Usually, it comes down to time keeping and being in places I'm not familiar with. So, pretty normal really.

Tomorrow, I'll be catching a train by myself for the first time in my life. I don't get the train often as I never really need to and I'm ususlly with family if I do, but I'm adamant about joining my friends in their Christmas shopping, which means catching the train by myself.

I'm anxious, but I'm gonna do it. It might seem silly to some people, but this is a big deal for me.

This is just me saying that's it's okay to be scared to do something for the first time, even if it's something really simple. You can do it!

my simblr participation this year has really just been me saying "i can do this," before typing one sentence in a google doc and doomscrolling the dash

Considering this whole story is taking place in Rome, I think the only solution for me to enjoy the story is to ignore the details not pertaining to the storyline. Should I care that they think Italian buildings have fire staircases? No. Does it matter that the backgrounds for the houses' interiors are more American than Italian? No, it should not. Should I care whether the naming conventions are silly? Probably. Just a tad bit. I am worried how it handles prominent historical figures that literally shaped the country in this alternative universe. It's a big mental effort. A very VERY BIG mental effort. 🙃

Fighting my ADHD like it's a Dark Souls boss. I've died against it like 273 times, but I'm still getting back up!

2 days and 2 more shifts to go before my time off 😴

LISTEN! The school slump is honestly not easy at all and frankly you’re doing your best already trying to handle 3(4? I forgot) ap classes AND marching band AND a job AND! Probably something I can’t even remember! You’re doing a lot and I’m not gonna sit here and say “It’ll be okay immediately trust” cause it’s probably gonna be tough this whole year given the classwork. But what I can say is! I’m proud of you; and anything you do or accomplish this year is not something to make light of. You’re doing amazing! I can support, and support you I shall. You got this! Homework!

EZZY YOURE SO NICE I LOVE YOU😭😭😭😭 thank you so so so mych i really needed this

[marlenexalraune]

starter call!! i'm off now until the new year which is crazy to me. but i pulled in a lot of overtime this month and things have just generally been busy. but i'm gonna get back into writing. i swear

[from-izzy]

you do know that ff is supposed to be around love right cause whatever it is that your doing with your healing project thingy def isnt that

read your intro and it says its personal things but like ok then keep it to yourself i guess

just go back to the the love topic stories and tbh its not getting a lot of notes and attention anyways so why bother lol

finally found the strength to reply to this! 🫂

hi anon 👋 first of all, i wasn't sure what kind of tone i should respond this with. but, i would like to thank you for sending this in. you gave me the push to finally post my 'especially to you...' series that has been on my masterlist for so long.

next, you're not wrong. compared to my other stories, this series is not getting as many notes. i am not scared to admit that it did discourage me a little bit but it all changed when i re-read my stories (yes, i'm one of those authors who re-reads their works many times, over and over again).

yes, ofc i could keep all the burden and weight of my personal life to myself. we have a choice to do that or share it with the people around us. for me, i chose the latter. why?

because i believe that feeling like you're alone, especially when you're too scared to speak up, is one of the darkest, loneliest, hardest and most excruciating moments that a person can ever have. i hope that my stories could accompany those who may feel alone and bring some sort of comfort.

i choose to be open. i choose to speak up first after the other person is ready to listen to me (for my stories, this comes in the form of warnings). i choose to tell the experiences that i've gone through. after that, it's up to the other person if they want to spread it around, keep it to themselves and/or maybe even judge me.

it was my choice to open up. the ball is in your court after and the information that i've told them will be up to them and their conscience.

i'm open with talking about life experiences and most especially, mental health. as a person who has multiple diagnosis and waiting to be assessed for more as well as waiting for re-asssessments, to a certain extent, through my stories, i want to tell it out to the world.

comfort, sadness, pain, discovery—those are the words that i would describe my journey so far.

so yes, while it isn't getting as much attention, the way i smile, cry and feel my chest lighten after reading my published stories, makes me keep going.

also, in terms of your definition for fanfiction, i guess our definition of the word differs greatly and i can respect that. but for me, my stories will not only be about romance.

because that's not the kind of author that i want to be. also, i will not be influenced by others to be the author that they want me to be.

i write for others to read but most of all, i write for myself.

i refuse to publish stories that i'm unsatisfied with even if people tell me that they love it. i refuse to publish stories that i will not re-read. i refuse to have no personal connection to the stories i publish.

so that's my answer! sorry that it's long 😅 and sorry that i kept you waiting as well 😭 i hope this answers your thoughts and asks!
