Hello again <3

You know, it's funny how life can throw you for an absolute loop and take you far, far away from the things that you want to post and share with the world. All that to say, I've graduated college and moved across the country with the person that I'm fairly sure I'm going to marry. Isn't that crazy? It's been so good for me, despite the fear and the stress and the dizziness of it all. I really love it here, and I'm writing again!

.the sun.

The sun is warm on my skin, and I'm surrounded by flora and friendship.

The breeze is nice, and Compassion brought flowers, treats, and wine for our little get together.

She and I kick off our shoes to talk about men and art, and we watch our friends bicker with each other about who's taking up more space on their side of the picnic blanket.

My skirt is splayed across my corner of the soft fabric as I laugh along with her, and I feel like a young girl again, only much happier.

The music is playing loudly from the stage, and it’s not what we had expected by any means when we'd booked these tickets.

Music in the Gardens, the post had said. The name was backed by a string quartet, but not a single one had played for the first hour we'd been here.

"They're not very good," Loyalty sighs over to Compassion and I after watching the young band for a while. We snicker as Integrity lies dramatically across Loyalty's lap.

"Well," Integrity flinches and laughs as Loyalty flicks him on the forehead, "They're not all that bad for high school students."

Compassion smiles at them as they argue, and she snaps a photo of the two together as she asks me, "What do you think, Empathy?"

I watch as she snaps a couple more pictures and let the breeze and the wine and the moment wash over me, "I don't mind it all that much."

The music can’t be so bad, I muse to myself, I mean, it brought us here together, after all.

The sun is warm on my skin, and I'm grateful to be surrounded by flora and friendship.

.empathy & friends.

-the beginning-

Hello.

I'm sure you're wondering who I am, and why you should care. In truth, I don't have an answer for why you should care... but I can tell you who I am.

My name is Empathy. They used to call me Insecurity, a long time ago.

Back when I spent time around characteristics that weren't as lovely as the ones I'm surrounded by now. Characters like Greed, or Lust, or Pride. Privilege, Ignorance, Hate, Anger, Malice, Fear, and Disrespect.

Turns out, the characters you surround yourself with really do affect your own identity. I'm grateful to have changed, both in company and in identity.

My rebirth into Empathy was entirely thanks to my friends.

Trust, who I met when we were both drowning in darker times. She pulled me out of one of the worst mental and emotional ruts I'd ever experienced. She was Anger, then, and I was still Insecurity.

Loyalty, who managed to transform my multi-faceted anxiety into confidence. She showed me the strength that I didn't even know I had within myself.

Integrity, who constantly reassured me that I was not alone, and that I had more talent to offer than I'd dared to admit to myself. He allowed me to shed my worries when it came to friendship security, and he always made me feel like I was seen, even when I felt silly.

Compassion, who I clicked with immediately upon meeting her. She understands me and my psyche on a fundamental level, because she was once Insecurity, too.

Faith, who taught me that being scorned by those in the past should not shake my beliefs. She brought a light into my life that I'd not known that I needed, and I will thank her for that for the rest of my days.

Stability, who's been with me longer than anyone else. She was the first genuine friend that I'd ever had, back when Insecurity was the only identity I thought I'd ever wear. Her kindness was the one thing that gave me the hope that ultimately kept me alive.

I would not be here, would not be Empathy, if it were not for them.

They may not realize just how much I love them or how grateful I am, no matter how often I tell them.

I tell them so so so often.

I only hope they know how deeply it runs, how much I care for them, how lucky I feel to be their friend, how incredible they are to me, how quickly I'd shed blood if they only needed it.

I'd say, "I've truly never known a kindness like this before. I've never had a circle of people who've cared so deeply for me until you. You all make me feel like staying alive was worth it. That I walked away from dying at my own hand and into a different kind of light. Thank you."

but it's not normal to say these things, so instead I say, "I love you guys" "Thank you for being so cool" "I really appreciate you all"

and I just hope that they all know what I mean.

One day I'll find a way to tell them. One day.

~*. Welcome! .*~

Hello There!

I'm so glad that you found yourself here on my anonymous writing blog :) For the sake of keeping my anonymity, you can call me Bee <3

Allow me to tell you a bit about myself!!

What does Bee write?

I enjoy writing many things, but here you'll likely find a mixture of fandom writing, drabbles, and pieces about life. Feel free to read the Master List to see what I've got up!

What does Bee like?

I love many things, like writing (of course hehe) and reading books (mostly fantasy, adventure, and mystery novels). I love sketching and creating art. I love baking, especially to share with others. I love coffee, cats, and the rain. I love oversized shirts and sweaters. I love thrifting and sewing clothing.

and I love that I get to post my writing here in this blog, instead of it rotting in my documents or in my brain :)

How do we find Bee's posts?

Well, you can follow me! But if you mean within my own blog, I have a tagging system that I try to be pretty strict with myself about!

Main Tags That I Use!!

#bee speaks this tag is for all of my own thoughts and such within my blog; usually not the written, but the writer speaking :)

#bee bee queue this tag is stuff that I've just got queued to be posted or reblogged so that you'll know if I'm actively on or not, always!

#bee fics this tag is on all of my fics that I'll post, so you can find them fairly easily!

#bee hcs this is for all of my headcannons, ever

#bee drabbles this is used for any of my little thoughts or ideas that I post that won't necessarily be a full fic or headcannon

You can also check out my previously mentioned Master List, or just search my blog for a specific character or media that you're looking for!

Thank you so much for visiting my blog, and if you have any questions for me at all (even the fun silly ones!) feel free to drop them in my Ask Box!
