I personally wanna see less 'you are not a burden/it's not work to love you' and more 'you are worth the work it takes to love you.' I KNOW I'm a burden sometimes. that isn't such a terrible thing! humans are strong. we can carry burdens. and it is work for me to be there for my friends, but it's work I'm willing to do.
we need to acknowledge this because pretending love isn't work will never make people like me feel less guilty for accepting love. we need to talk about it so people don't feel bad for having boundaries and not always being up to do the work. we need to accept it so we can properly appreciate what others do for us and what we're doing for them.
yes it does take work to love you. but guess what? you still deserve love, and you deserve people who are willing to do the work to love you. it doesn't make you bad. all love take work. and everyone is worth it.
That's what happens when you do too much work in a single day.
When I got all stars in Wind Farm I found myself in a situation when Sam wanted to rest after each 10 steps, no kidding, but BTs around wouldn't let him. I had no cargo on me and thus no weight to offload. I still have no idea how I made it safe out there.
Finally I can post this here because it's FINISHED!!!!
(There's still editing going on, chapter by chapter, but it's officially finished!)
I'm so excited and so thrilled!
Thank you so much to my friends in The Beach discord server and especially to @skys-metro for screaming into the void late at night with me about ideas and plot bunnys
