    how to nicely break up with someone

    "You know that I value the time we spent together" (Reach for hand) "You have touched my life in ways that will cause ripples all my life." (Scratch palm) "I've learned to be kinder, more honest, and, definitely, more inquisitive." (Hook fingers together, squeeze palm) "And, though I feel like...

    Writing Writing a terrorist group

    Personally, I think that you should look into how some peace-keeping corps turn into militant groups fast. The idea of terrorism is nationalist in perspective, so you can probably look into the armed groups surrounding the Chilean avocado trade. It's a fascinating thing to see. You can view that...

    Does anyone secretly pay homage to their previous work?

    Sometimes, I go back and try and feel the feelings, yknow? Some pieces are loaded with anger, and hate. They burn, still, that when I read them, I remember the fire. That's what I like to write. Also, I have particular female character set that I like. I always come back to it bc its fun.

    Today's session was v productive. We talked about the shame that masks itself as 'humility' and how we attach it to things we make not because we're unskilled but because we compare ourselves to others. We are unfairly judging ourselves based on standards that is not related to our growth as...

    @greyblob The desire to write is not enough. I can write. I just want to find the motivation, the joy in the act, to actually do it. I am trying to keep myself responsible, to show up for myself even on days I feel like I can't.

    Is family important to you?

    I love my family. I love them in the way that for many years they were all I knew. As you grow older, you see cracks. You see the ways they have hurt you, stopped you, hindered you, or made you. You learn that they are human, too. When you get to a certain age, you begin to learn to love them as...

    @ModernGold7ne I do really enjoy reading what I wrote. I enjoy the process of thinking of the different ways my characters can interact, the environment they interact with, and the ways I can present all of that without having to tell people what exactly it is I'm presenting.

    There's a lot of things I could attribute to why I stopped writing. Like most adults in their journey to personal development, I am trying to find joy in things I used to like. I am very much trying to overcome anhedonia right now through the act of being more active and responsible in my...

    I guess I shortened it because this place feels like screaming into a void. I didn't really expect people to read it or reply. In a more correct retelling of why I am writing: As a child, I would write profusely everyday. The act of writing used to bring me so much joy and satisfaction even...
