no one tells you how much of life takes practice. not just writing, painting, running, singing, etc, but practicing how to make friends. how to make the right ones. getting practiced at how to be a good friend, a good sibling, a good person. practice identifying when people haven’t earned that. learning to recognize your right to rage and, eventually, how to offer mercy. so much of life is muscle memory, and i’ve begun to realize there are so many more parts of ourselves to flex and stretch and strengthen than those we’re taught in anatomy lessons

"do it for the plot" genuinely motivates me to put myself out there even if i'm scared. like if i was a character would my story be interesting?? or would it be bland bc i'm sheltering myself all the time instead of going out of my comfort zone?? these thoughts incentivize me to apply myself to things even at the risk of them not going my way
