In Vast Darkness

I'm your back up. The backup daughter. The one that's there when you collapse and offers my stardust so you can shine again.

I'm the one you don't worry about, because I'm independent in my own orbit.

I'm your backup daughter for when the poisoned star cuts you off even though all you did was offer it your aid.

When the poisoned star falls from your sky, I'm the one that holds your hand and guides you out of the dark until the star decides to rise again and you fall under its spell once more.

Im just your backup, and I'll always be here until gravity forgets you and remembers me again.

Over Consumption

Yes, from 2019 up until this month I was an avid over consumer. I am however making a change. As I stated in previous blogs, I rehomed and donated over 300 books that no longer fit my tastes, books I never read or planned on reading and books I always kept "just in case" that never ended up being used.

Today, I'm going the same with my ereaders. I don't have a huge collection but I definitely don't need all of them. I have 2 kindles (2019 I think and the basic matcha) and a kobo libra colour. Giving them all a nice clean and gifting them to family + friends that don't have one but would like one. I've ordered a Kobo Clara BW for all my traveling reading needs so I won't have to lug a physical book around.

It genuinely feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and giving them new homes vs reselling feels like the best way of honoring these devices that once brought me joy and now going to loving homes where they will be used and cared for.

Happy Pride Month

Here's a small paragraph of what I'm writing:

"She looked like a goddess. My eyelids start to feel heavy and I fall into a heavenly slumber dreaming of the girl in pink, being noticed by her and wondering how I got so lucky to be in her vicinity. She’s everything I want to be and everything that I’m scared of. I’m unsure of how I'd even exist with a third of her light..."

Late night thoughts

I'll be 29 years old this year and here's my official review of my 20's:

IT SUCKED.

We graduate from high school and are expected to have things figured out from the get go, when that's further than the truth. The golden years of 20's is messy.

You find out of health (both physical and mental) conditions you'll have to deal with possibly your whole life, learn to navigate relationships and the messy dynamics that form in them. What doesn't help is the current economy and politicians that resemble food telling people what they can and can't do with their bodies. What's worse, is living in an area where not so progressive thoughts are applauded and encouraged and you end up in an echo chamber where you think that's the "norm" and if you don't follow that cookie cutter standard of what's expected of you, you are a loser; and sure, originality, acceptance & inclusivity is constantly preached in online spaces but there's very few that actually embrace it in the real world. It's easier said than done.

Had I just stopped giving a rats ass about what people thought of me sooner I could have avoided a mental breakdown but here we are. Here's to not preforming in my 30's and to take up as much space as humanly possible.

Back from a Hiatus

So, while I'm aware I don't have to explain myself I'm going to do so anyway as a way to process it. I took a long hiatus from this account and writing in general. I went through a bit of an identity crisis and while I am a lot happier with myself now, there's still areas I want to explore. I've been developing my reading tastes and have moved passed the "Top 10 Books you need to read" booktok videos, not only were the majority of the books recommended were incredibly bad, they all felt the same, very trope heavy and easy to predict. I donated and gifted over 300 books from my physical library and starting from scratch, only keeping those that have sentimental value or mean something to me literary wise. I purchased a stack of books I think fit the criteria of what I enjoy, Thought and emotional provoking and started with one I probably never would have picked up before. It's called "Nightbitch" by Rachel Yoder. I'm almost done with it and it's completely changed the way I view mothers, and women (including myself). For myself, while I'm not a mother this book hit me deep. I actually had to sit back and think of all the times I've put my needs aside to appease others, how as a women/Fem presenting people are viewed as bitches and annoyances if we so dare to have a voice or stand out. It's like we are expected to preform, and we're only valued by our performances rather than our souls. Def a great read and even greater book to dissect.

This is me. Kinda jealous of all the writers who can write quickly because I can't.

reblog if you're a writer but would rather drink straight cyanide than show any of your family members your work

Writers Thoughts

I can't help but wonder if my dreams will forever remain dreams and no matter how much I try to reach my hand towards the stars, the only thing I'll ever feel is the chill embrace of the wind wrapped around my fingers.

reblog if you believe fanfics are as valid as books that were published and sold by authors who write as their main careers. I'm trying to prove a point

[oliviaamore]

I would like to announce

That I got no writing done yesterday

BUT

I thought about writing.

*round of applause*

[oliviaamore]

Me frfr… I also use writing as a way to cope with my own experiences and to see my situation from an outside perspective. It’s been really therapeutic 🥰

i swear all writers are mentally ill. y'all keep putting your "beloved" characters through the most traumatic experiences ever just to feel something.

Things I've learned as a writer:

- your story is important

- someone wants to read your work

- your skill will improve the more you write

- no one knows where commas go

- fixing one plot hole will, undoubtedly, create four smaller ones

- if you have anxiety, your character has anxiety. Just watch.

- you know when random things were invented

Boy if this ain’t me… lol

pov you're a non-published aspiring writer:

brain: comes up with a new story idea while working on your main project

me: wait, that’s actually good. let’s write that instead.

brain: skips to imagining movie adaptation of unwritten story

me: i'm never gonna get published

brain: starts playing elevator music
