#gentle reminder to myself

I saw that ask about Så mycket bättre and Omar’s relationship to his mother. Since you are new to the fandom I guess you don’t know about his “sommarprat”!!

He did a Swedish radio show this summer. It’s an important part of Swedish summer, to listen to “Sommar I P1”. Famous (or not so famous) people gets to do one day each during summer. The radio show is 1,5 hour where the person talk and plays music. It’s like a one person podcast where the host gets to talk about whatever they want! Omar chose to talk about his life from a small kid in Venezuela, moving to Sweden, being part of Fo&o and getting the role as Simon. He also talks very beautifully about his mother and their relationship. He did really well!! My mother who doesn’t know who Omar is talked to me about that days very beautiful “sommar” and that she cried a bit while listening.

Since this fandom is the best!! I know someone translated it but I don’t know where you can find it but I’m sure someone else knows.

Someone mentioned it to me but I didn't know what it was about so thank you so much for the summary!!

Because this is fandom it's so amazing, I found a youtube video with its translation so I'm going to post it here in case somebody else wants it 🤭

Thank you so much for bringing it back to my attention 💜💜

I always felt unheard growing up. But I know for a fact, I wasn’t put here to JUST listen and take on all the feelings someone just dumped on me and sit with it. I was put here to alchemize. I was put here to take all that pain and turn it into something of gold damnit.

Not a milestone but we're getting close

You! Internalize that you do not always need to "improve your art/craft" now! It's great to learn and develop your skills, but you do not need to come from a place of hating where you are now! You certainly do not need to force yourself to improve if it is coming in between you and enjoying the things you do. Improvement for improvements sake does not have to be the only goal, nor the only one that "should matter"

You are allowed to have motifs, enjoyment, ameturism, and "less skill." Kill and devour the capitalist in your head that dictates that you must always improve for everybody else's sake and your "productivity."

DAILY REMINDER:

Your manifestations are coming. Stop stressing about what is already yours.

I don't see you stressing over things that you already have.

hi ! you ! please don't blame yourself for the secondary effects of your disability. the weight changes are not your fault. the muscle atrophy is not your fault. the malnutrition is not your fault. the new/worsening mental health condition is not your fault. the low hygiene is not your fault. none of it is your fault!

are there areas of your self care that need improvement? of course, that's true for everyone! but it's hard to be kinder to yourself when you're disabled. sometimes we downright can't do things because of our disabilities. and it all snowballs and self perpetuates. that's not a moral failing - that's scary and difficult to go through!

you don't deserve blame, ridicule, or hatred. you just have limits. you just need support. and that's, morally, neutral. it's okay. you're not doing anything wrong, and i hope things get easier soon. give yourself a little more grace, okay?

Whenever you have to let someone go for treating you this way or that, remind yourself of this:

You will find better people.

You will find better people.

You will find better people.

at about 3:30 am this night on october 3rd 2023, my childhood pet of almost 18 years old passed away. making this post an hour later. no words to say or really reason to post this. can't stop thinking about how we lost our youngest cat to the same illness around this time last year too. it's a strange and disorienting feeling to confront the thought either that for years i didn't think id be the one to outlive

might hiatus a bit, unsure, never really predictable how my will to do anything at all gets in mourning but hell, you'd think i'd be used to this by now

i guess if i can muster any words of wise to those reading my delirious rambling; take a break. spend time with your loved ones, family, friends, and give your pet a hug. cherish their heartbeat and remember the way their breath rises and falls and how it whistles out their nose. don't know when it stops til it's just gone.

for those without and have shouldered this pain before, I'm sorry, there really is no way to anticipate it or carry that grief without shaking hands.

dont know how to end this, probably delete when i finally get some sleep, but yea, goodnight. hope its quiet and dreamless

Diary of an Aspiring Author, Episode 2: Gentle reminders for creative minds.

Drink water, or tea. Or some beverage that hydrates you and keeps your brain from melting away.

Stretch! Believe me, your body will thank it. We sit at the desk for hours on days, this is a great way of giving some exercise to our body. It can be in the morning, or at night before bed. Or even after your writing sessions.

Take breaks. You can apply the Pomodoro method to your writing, write for 1–2 hours, and take 15-30-minute breaks. Walk around your house or garden, open a window, play with your pets, and talk with your family.

Don't compare your craft to others. You never know how long someone has been writing, what background they have, or if they can take on resources more easily. The only one you should compare yourself to is your past self. You always improve, or learn something you can apply to your writing. Don't be discouraged.

Be patient with yourself. Writing, or any other creative work, is not easy. It takes a long time for your seed of idea to blossom into a beautiful flower. Don't give up, you will reach your goal.

Don't assume that you know everything. Writing is a journey that requires learning, and research, be it about story structure, worldbuilding, or any topic that may feature in your story. It's okay to admit that you don't know something. It's okay to spend one more hour researching. Your story will wait for you.

Go outside. No, seriously, go outside, and spend time in nature. Let it inspire you.

Build a community. Join writing groups, and discords, make sprinting rooms, and share your ideas. Writing can be lonely, we all need some company along the way.

It's okay to take breaks. Sometimes the words just don't come out right no matter how many times we try to rewrite that damn sentence or paragraph. Or other times, even opening the document feels like a hassle. Take a day off, and recharge. Tomorrow you can try again.

Have fun. Explore your ideas, diverge from the expectations, and experiment with tropes. It's your book, you can do whatever you want! Make a flying castle, and a talking tree, and make the sun green.

all five of them are willing to buy a happy meal for Clem n Red Son though, those two are steadfast exceptions to the black coffee rule

re the upd8 i think we also gotta bear in mind that the adversaries vriska are facing arent literally her spidermom/ancestor or the real doc scratch. theyre vriska's perceptions of these characters made real for her in this realm. so yeah im not surprised that doc scratch is 'OOC', we're viewing him from vriska's POV and through her own feelings about him. perception is important in homestuck

You know... it's okay to trust your body. If you are separated from your body to such an extent you feel you cannot trust it, I truly from the bottom of my heart empathize and feel grief for you, but you can trust your body.

It's okay to listen to your body and to heed what it is telling you. I wish you (and your body) well wherever you go. You deserve the peace of mind to feel able to do what you want.
