Then of course. There's the very real possibility I'll do 300 workbook pages of self help to the best of my ability. And still be unable to find mutual love. And still feel like I'm too dumb to figure out something so easy that I know very messy people who did not do some or all of this kinda work and found love just fine.

“I hope I’ll find all the pieces of my mind that fell out of my head over all those years, and that I’ll be able to put myself together again. I hope the echoes of pain will fade, and memories of sorrow will die, and that you’ll visit me here some day…”
“And I hope you have a happy ending of your own.”

7, 12 for the emoji ask game :)
Thank you for the ask! From this ask game.
🫀 - What motivates you to write most?
Good question in an all time motivation low. I really, really want a complete story, and that it's the only way the story will ever exist. I can daydream my way through 1/3 of a story with a couple of random scenes, but I can never keep my 3 brain cells together long enough to finish the plot, let alone remember it later.
Once it's on paper, it's done. It's never going anywhere (backups hurray.)
🏖 - Do you write on vacation?
I don't really go on vacation 😅 So when I take time off, it usually is at least partially so I can write. Never end up doing as much as I hope :/
Hat last week off. Got shit all done 😭😭

Hey y’all! I am once again in health insurance hell. Details below the read more, because I ranted a little bit and it was getting a little long, but long story short:
Please send me either ideas of plushies to design or concepts you’d like me to explain the way I’d explain them to a small child. I’ve done that part before, I think I tagged it “tj explains things to toddlers”. It can be a fun challenge for me and I just want to stop thinking about health insurance for a while lol
I wanted to get a second rescue inhaler*, because my old ones are out of date, and I’d prefer to have two unexpired rescue inhalers so I can keep one in my purse downstairs and one by my bed, and my new health insurance won’t cover it! It’s $500 without insurance!! And that’s with the manufacturer coupon!!! I have until October before my current rescue inhaler expires, but still! I ended up having to physically go to my doctor’s office to get them to fill out a form to try and get my insurance to cover my inhaler because the phone tree at my doctor’s office is broken and will just hang up on you.
*my rescue inhaler is not actually a rescue inhaler, because I have what my doctor called “an adverse reaction” and what I call a “hey that summoned ALL the nurses EXTREMELY quickly” reaction to both albuterol and levalbuterol, the two main rescue inhaler medications. In most people the increase in heart rate from using the rescue inhaler is minimal, like less than 10 bpm if anything, but in me it was 80+ bpm increase and I found out if you gasp out “I can’t see” while wheezing you get EVERY nurse in the urgent care running to you very fast. My “rescue inhaler” is actually Atrovent, an inhaler for the treatment of COPD that works well enough for me to get away from whatever is causing my asthma attack and/or put on a filter mask, and since I have weird asthma it works for me.

I’m so curious about your tags on that fic post, especially the bit about not being able to read your own stuff?? Why is that I’m so curious
aaaaaaa I don’t know how to articulate it properly without being mean to my younger self hahah. I wrote my first scorbus stuff when I was 16/17, and I was like… a very different type of writer then compared to now. and when I reread it (or try to) all I do is nitpick the weird prose and the ‘try hard’-ness of it, if that makes sense? i feel like my earlier scorbus stuff is a very unpolished version of my writing now, and I find it applies even to the first two chapters of sun sinks down. I can’t read england 1/france, but I can read everything else. I just feel like I found my style and got a hold of everything writing wise at that specific point in my life, and everything before that is very shaky and not that good.
but, also, I know 16 year old me was so proud of it, and I can’t delete it because of that. because it’d be a massive disservice to that younger version of myself who spent hours writing, editing, posting and loving it. I went through a period where I wanted to delete the fifth year stuff because the idea of someone going to it after reading sun sinks down or my later work made me feel a little nauseous lol. but then I realised that, hopefully, those people will see the date and will be able to realise the author might’ve been a kid when it was written, so it probably won’t be too hot. I try really hard to not be mean to my younger self, because she was going through a lot and was working overtime trying to be happy and find things that made life worthwhile. so I will never ever delete them, because it’d be a disservice to the version of myself whose life low-key depended on writing those things.
I just cannot go back and read them because they’re BAD (to me). I love baby me and her passion, but crikey I couldn’t write that well when I was younger haha
